Family fun in the Cretan sun

Craving some fun in the sun? This lively, all-inclusive resort in Hersonissos is perfect for families and thrill-seekers on the beautiful island of Crete. Located right on the beachfront, the hotel offers direct access to both the sandy shores and its popular on-site waterpark, making it an ideal destination for a fun-filled holiday. If you fancy popping out to explore, it’s only a 25-minute drive west to the island’s capital Heraklion, and the vibey resort town of Malia is just 10 minutes away by car.

But there’s too much fun to be had in this four-star resort. The star attraction here is the waterpark, which boasts a variety of slides, lazy rivers, and splash zones suitable for all ages. The kids will love the pirate ship with multiple slides shooting out of it! You can also enjoy multiple swimming pools, including a children’s pool, and direct access to a well-maintained beach with sea-facing sun loungers and umbrellas to hide from the sun’s rays.

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.
