How this site is financed

Holidays2Crete is funded in multiple ways and will always remain free from any subscription or content charges. We mainly feature advertisers that we think our visitors will like and these are normally tailored to the type of content or article on the website.

We also earn revenue from what are known as affiliate links where you can book a holiday, car hire, hotel, flight or travel insurance. While these look and work the same way as normal links, if someone clicks through, the link is tracked and it may generate a payment to the site (the details vary; sometimes per click, per user, per application, per accepted application or any combination). This tracking is normally done with the use of a cookie.

Do these links compromise the website

Holidays2Crete is written first and foremost as a travel guide website and any links, adverts or search boxes are placed after the content has been decided upon in an effort to make additional revenue to fund the running costs of the company and turn a small profit.
