Lyttos Beach Resort

If pools as far as the eye can see sounds like the stuff of daydreams, think again – this stylish resort on the north coast of Crete offers exactly that. Add in swaying palm trees, lush green gardens and a Blue Flag beach, and you’ve got yourself a little slice of Greek paradise. It's an ideal choice for friends, families, couples and solo travellers alike.

Whether you fancy sunbathing on the beach, cooling off in the outdoor pools, or indulging in the top class spa facilities – including a sauna, a steam bath and a hammam – there’s endless scope for relaxation here. 

You can also get involved in all kinds of activities, ranging from beach volleyball and tennis to football and yoga, while little ones will have a blast at the on-site water park (featuring 11 slides), the kids' club and the playground. Expect regular evening entertainment, too, with everything from live shows and music to bingo and quizzes.

A choice of three buffet restaurants cover authentic Greek cuisine, Asian flavours and many more dishes from around the world, while the snack bar and the fast food joint are ideal for quelling hunger pangs between meal times. You’ll also find six bars dotted throughout the resort, including down by the beach, several poolside and one in the lobby – the perfect spot to sip expertly crafted cocktails in a stunning setting.
