Located above its own sandy beach front, just a few minutes drive outside of Aghios Nikolaos, a delightful hotel with the emphasis on personalised and friendly service. Heraklion airport is 45 minutes drive away.

Just 107 rooms and suites, the accommodation style is low rise and Cretan influenced with white washed wall. All are sea facing. Also available are a selection of suites with private pool (heated in the cooler months) and garden terrace.

Facilities include two swimming pools, choice of restaurant location, art gallery, spa. A range of water sports can be arranged (local cost), and there is an on site diving centre. Within a short drive you have a couple of golf courses.

Our opinion – A hotel that has a high repeat clientele, attracted by the local design style, the friendly easy going atmosphere, the sandy cove beach and the extensive facilities. Plus the convenience of the local village where you will find numerous restaurant alternatives.
