Head for the hills and try Crete’s beautiful interior – secluded Villa Therisso (sleeps four) with private pool is located in a hilltop village with dramatic views over Therisso gorge, hidden away in the foothills of the White Mountains. Some of the most dramatic views on Crete can be found here, and the walking is much more pleasant in September as the summer scorch eases. Prices are from £823 pp (four sharing) in September, including flights (Gatwick) and car hire.
