Atermono Boutique Resort and Spa

Cyclists flock to this part of Crete due to its undulating landscapes and breath-taking views. And thanks to the hotel’s bike rental service, it’s easy for guests to embark on leisurely rides via lush valleys, centuries-old villages, and twisting coastal roads. When it’s time for a rest, the hotel is only a few minutes’ walk from the golden sands of Platanes Beach, which is a Blue Flag beauty and one of the longest on the island.

Boasting five stars and effortlessly cool vibes, the hotel has luxurious rooms that keep you relaxed and entertained around the clock. Not only is there fast Wi-Fi and satellite TV in each room, but you can also look forward to a super-comfy bed, breezy balcony, a minibar, and facilities for making hot drinks. Some rooms also come with spectacular sea views.   

At the hotel’s laid-back restaurant, a delicious buffet is served en plein air, while the rooftop bar offers snacks and cocktails beside an infinity pool, and later on there’s live music and evening entertainment into the early hours. If you need to blow away the cobwebs the next morning, the spa provides everything from massages to wraps and scrubs, while the well-equipped gym and sauna are perfect for getting your sweat on.
