We still have some openings on selected dates throughout our season over in Crete. If you've been thinking about coming over, whether it's for a week, two weeks or just a long weekend, this is your chance. EasyJet runs daily flights in and out of the capital, Heraklion, only 20 minutes away. It's a short hop from Athens, Milan, Rome, Naples, Vienna and a host of other European cities. There are other daily flights from many other European cities.
It's not just us that think we're the best, our customers think so too – that's why we have plenty of repeat visitors! You can see Miniature Wargames' own Wargame Widow, Diane Sutherland's terrain and buildings in the flesh and play with some of the largest collections in the world. We don't buy our figures in ready painted, we paint everything.
This is the last year we'll be offering 20mm Normandy games, so don't miss out.

Let us know the date you are interested in arriving and how long you would wish to stay. If you're the first to book the gaming you can choose any combination of one and two-day games or four-day campaigns from our growing menu. We normally ask for a 50 per cent deposit for the gaming fee on confirmation of booking. The balance is payable six weeks before your arrival. The apartment costs are payable in cash (Euros) to Maria and Adonis. The wargames room is onsite. All we'll need is your flight number and arrival time so we can be at the airport to meet you.
