Question 1

How does Discover Crete make money?

Accepted Answer

We earn a commission from our verified hotel, ferry, rent-a-car and activity partners when you book through Discover Crete. You always pay the partner price (never more) and we never take a cut from the operator.

Question 2

Are the AI trip recommendations free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Touristas AI assistant, trip planner, island quiz and journey planner are all free to use and need no sign-up. We only earn if you choose to book something we suggested.

Question 3

Can I cancel a ferry or hotel booking?

Accepted Answer

Cancellation policy depends on the operator. Filter for "Free cancellation" on hotels to surface flexible rates, and ferry refund rules are shown before checkout for every operator. Reach us at hello@discover-crete.com if you need help.

Question 4

Which parts of Crete do you cover?

Accepted Answer

All of Crete. We have dedicated guides for every region (Chania, Rethymno, Heraklion and Lasithi) plus towns like Elounda, Matala, Sfakia, Paleochora and Sitia, with live ferry coverage for every Cretan port.

Question 5

Do you offer flight bookings?

Accepted Answer

We compare flights to Heraklion (HER) and Chania (CHQ) airports and link out to airline partners, plus the fastest fly-and-ferry routes from Athens (ATH).

Question 6

Is Discover Crete a local operator?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We are based in Crete, run by a small team of full-time residents, and every partner is vetted on the ground before we list them.

Question 7

How do I add my business?

Accepted Answer

Hotels, villas, car rentals and activity providers can apply at /partner. Basic plans start at €99/year and include SEO placement, AI integration and full marketing tools.

Question 8

How current is your information?

Accepted Answer

Ferry schedules and live hotel rates are pulled from operator APIs in real time. Editorial content (guides, blog posts, FAQs) is reviewed at least quarterly and timestamped on every page.
