Pools, sun, and fun in Crete
Are you seeking the Crete that looks like it’s been taken straight from the front of a travel guide? If so, that’s just what you’ll find at the five-star Knossos Beach Bungalows & Suites.
On arrival you’ll be struck not only by the beautiful Aegean-style whitewashed buildings, but also by the fact that they overlook the picture-perfect sandy beach. The hotel boasts tons of top-notch features, including extensive fitness and wellness options that include yoga and Pilates classes as well as a gorgeous spa with first-class hydrotherapy facilities.
There’s a choice of three outdoor pools too, plus two separate ones for kids, together with a range of classy restaurants and bars. You can even dine on the beach – whether that’s a romantic dinner for two or just a relaxed, scenic meal with the family.
If you can tear yourself away from all that indulgence, the surrounding area is definitely worth exploring. The village of Kokkini Hani, just a few minutes away, has traditional tavernas and a relaxed feel, and the island’s historic but lively capital, Heraklion, is just a 20-minute drive.
Nearby you’ll also find golf courses – the fabulous Crete Golf Club is 17km away – and numerous diving and water sports hotspots, or you can ask the hotel’s concierge about arranging a yacht excursion to explore the island by sea. It seems a fitting way to travel when you’re living the high life at this exquisite resort.
