The 26-year-old victim claimed that she had met the man in a local bar before he lured her to the beach where he forced himself upon her.
The suspect remains in custody in Hersonissos but he filed a counter lawsuit, claiming his innocence.
The infantryman has in turn accused the victim of false accusation and defamation.
Both were arrested and the Greek soldier was referred to the military prosecutor in Chania, on the northwest coast of the island.
The British tourist will be inspected by a medical examiner who will investigate if the rape took place.
It comes just hours after a British teenager was allegedly sexually assaulted in Majorca after having her drink spiked while on holiday.
Police have arrested a suspect and are searching for two other men who have witnessed the horrific attack and allegedly “did nothing to prevent it”.
