A five-star lookout above the buzz

Perched on a serene hillside just beyond Hersonissos, Elios Hill is a five-star retreat with panoramic Cretan views and a brilliant mix of family fun and grown-up calm. The coastline is around a 10-minute drive away, with a beach shuttle service when you fancy swapping poolside lounging for sea swims. Hersonissos’ harbour, Star Beach and the Cretan Golf Club are all within easy reach, while Heraklion and Knossos Palace make great day trips if you want a little history with your sunshine. 

The facilities are where this place really shines. There are four sleek swimming pools, including an adults-only pool, a children’s pool and one with a Jacuzzi, plus a waterpark, playground, mini football court, tennis courts and padel courts. Kids can dive into daily activities at the kids’ club, older ones get their own teenager room, and the amphitheatre keeps evenings lively with daily entertainment. Meanwhile, adult-friendly areas offer a quieter pocket for those all-important exhale moments.

Find out more about Hersonissos

If you’re looking for the pulse of modern-day Crete, you’ll find it in Hersonissos, which moves to its own rhythm on any given night. While the town’s lively waterfront is the place to party, as anyone on Crete will tell you, Hersonissos holidays offer far more than just nightlife. Away from the vibe of the bars and restaurants, the town is full of history and culture, and it’s not difficult to submerge yourself in both.
