Hi; The planning is done for 2010 and now I start on 2011. We are taking our grandchildren to Greece for their graduation. One from high school and the other from college. Family will also be with us and possibly with one friend of each of the graduates. Our gift is a week on either Rhodes or Crete. The possibility exists for up to 14 people, but as few as six. People have until June, 2010 to decide. I have found a villa on each island that will accommodate up to 14 people. Our limit on cost is $8,000 US for the week [14 people]. Now I need help with reliable web sites In Greece, for villas. Or possibly a villa you have stayed at. I have been using google for research. Thanks Much Richard

We rented a beautiful small house outside of Chania, Crete from Maria Mylonaki at Diktynna Travel in Chania.; they also have larger properties. Maria provided us with excellent service. She is based in Chania. [email protected] and look at the website too:

Thanks 'both' for your help. Richard

Iris, I can't help you with a villa. We've only rented smaller villas/apartments in Greece but, I wanted to say what incredible grandparents you are. You're creating memories your grandchildren will NEVER forget. They are lucky kids!

We've used Freelance Holidays and Simply Crete to good effect. Pure Crete get a good name too

Thanks sheila; And wug; Thanks, however it's a great way to be with them. However, the total possible going is now 12. My daughter nixed friends. She was right, only family. Togetherness.

Sheila; Found all three sites. Thanks much Richard

Hi; Has anyone used 'Home Away' rentals out of the UK for a villa rental? Thanks
