This page brings together all the posts from our Crete trip in autumn 2021 – our first flight after the Corona pandemic, which took us via Athens to the largest Greek island.
Included is a detailed hotel review of The Royal Senses Resort & Spa Crete, Curio Collection by Hilton, the first five-star Hilton hotel in northern Crete, as well as a trip report on Aegean Airlines Business Class on the Airbus A321-200 from Berlin via Athens to Heraklion.

The articles are aimed at couples and families planning a comfortable Crete vacation and wanting to know what to expect from the Hilton Resort and Aegean Airlines.

At the end of October, we were drawn out into the world again. Our first flight since the start of the coronavirus pandemic was via Athens to Crete. The largest Greek island impressed us during our holiday preparations with its rich history, culture and beautiful nature. The weather is characterised by a consistent Mediterranean climate, meaning summers are hot and dry and winters are rainy and mild. Find out what you can experience on the sunniest island in the Mediterranean in this article.
After a long flight hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic, we flew with Aegean Business Class on an Airbus A321-200 via Athens to Crete in the fall of 2021. I was curious to see how Aegean Airlines would operate its business class service during the coronavirus pandemic.
