ADULTS-ONLY ESCAPE IN NORTHERN CRETE
A hip and trendy hangout overlooking the majesty of the Aegean Sea, staying at the adults-only Syntopia Hotel lets you sample the more Bohemian side of Cretan life.
One of the hotel’s crowning glories is the rooftop pool – its flanked by comfy sun beds and has a neighbouring bar so you can grab a drink while enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. There’s an outdoor pool, too, with plenty of shaded areas if you wish to step out of the sun for a bit.
For an even more serene experience, head to the hotel spa, where a sauna, hot tub and a zen-like relaxation area will be waiting for you. Ready to spoil yourself rotten? Grab a luxurious treatment – there’s everything from cleansing facials to full-bodied massages – and stroll out the spa feeling like you’ve got your groove back. You also have access to a fully-equipped gym and there are regular yoga and meditation sessions throughout the day.
You’re sorted when it comes to cuisine and cocktails at this hotel, too. Not only is there a buffet restaurant, that’s open for early bird breakfasts at 5am, but you can grab classic street food from around the world courtesy of the colourful creations at The Canteen. Three bars dotted around the premises, including one that’s by the pool, means you’ll never be stuck without an ice-cold beverage either.
No matter how great your hotel is, sometimes all you want to do is feel soft sand beneath your feet. Fortunately, you’re just a five-minute strol from Adelianos Kampos Beach – a two-kilometre-long stretch of stunning shoreline, which boasts a myriad of shops, bars, and water sports facilities to keep you busy.
