A five-star perch above Crete’s prettiest bays
Clinging to a dramatic clifftop above the sapphire bays of Agia Pelagia, Athina Palace serves up widescreen Aegean views and easy island exploring. Dip down to sandy coves for snorkelling, kayak the calm water, or hop 20 minutes to Heraklion for museums, markets, and café culture. Knossos and the wine country of Peza make dreamy day trips, while local boat trips reveal hidden caves and secret coves.
On resort, life is carefree. Float between three tiered pools, claim a lounger on the private beach via shuttle, or book the spa’s sauna, hammam, and signature Cretan oil massage. Tennis courts, a fitness room, water sports, and a kids’ club keep everyone smiling, while evening shows add a little holiday sparkle.
All-inclusive dining means you can simply follow your appetite: big breakfasts and Mediterranean buffets in the main restaurant, a Greek à la carte for island flavours, plus pool and lobby bars shaking iced coffees, fresh juices, and sunset cocktails – dreamy.
And when you’re ready to roam, wander to Agia Pelagia’s seafront tavernas for grilled octopus and warm hospitality, then stroll back beneath a pink-gold sky. Whether you’re going for the spa-days, sea-days, or both, Athina Palace is your five-star perch above Crete’s most photogenic coastline.
