Prices in Crete
Some of the most common questions from prospective travelers to Crete have to do with the prices of products and services in Crete. There have been many discussions whether Crete is a cheap place for vacation or not.
Whilst prices have risen in Crete, as elsewhere of late, many still find that Crete remains a place where you will get good value for your money compared with other European destinations.
"Explore Crete" decided to conduct some market research and create a list with the prices of the most common products and services.
