A peaceful five-star resort amidst gorgeous gardens and olive trees, near a traditional seaside village – half board and flights included
It’s no wonder that Crete is the stuff of myths and legends. With scenic mountains looming over sun-drenched beaches, modern hotels perched in ancient hilltop villages, and international golf courses nestled next to ancient olives groves, Crete offers bite-sized holiday essentials in one place; relaxation, culture and beautiful scenery.
Sporting a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence, the five-star Filion Suites Resort & Spa is the perfect hideaway. Perched near the traditional seaside village of Bali in northern Crete amidst gorgeous gardens, this complex is an ideal place to recharge your batteries. With multiple swimming pools, a Mediterranean restaurant, a poolside bar, wine tasting experiences, and a spa with a sauna and treatment rooms, switching off here is mandatory.

This week's top travel hacks |
| 2 for 1 Amsterdam mini cruise from £45pp - Another interesting offer from DFDS. The promotion means that a cruise from Newcastle to Amsterdam will cost just £45pp. Since this is based on 2 people sharing, the total cost should be £90, however I went through the booking process and found that the total was eventually calculated at £82. For your £82 you'll get 2 nights onboard in an en suite cabin and return coach transfers to Amsterdam city centre. Book by 28 February for selected departures until 28 March. Check availability here |
| |
| £5 off a £50 spend at Hotels.com - It's as simple as it sounds. Spend £50 on a hotel room and you'll get £5 off when using the code 5OFF50UK. Book by 31 March for travel until 30 June 2018. Check availability here |
