Things to do together

One of the best ways to explore Crete is by car, with many of the island’s highlights just under an hour from the resort. Some of the historical sites worth visiting are the Lassithi Plateau, the ancient Dikteon Cave where Zeus was reputedly born, and the traditional Cretan village of Kritsa.
Crete is blessed with some of the finest beaches in Greece, notably Vai Palm and Kalo Horio. Away from the beaches, some of the best sea views can be admired along the coastal road, which is only a short walk from St Nicolas Bay.
Guests who wish to dine in the town of Aghios Nikolaos should try Cretan Stars, a deluxe restaurant housed in an old mansion. Serving delicious Greek and international cuisine, Cretan Stars overlooks the harbour and a terraced garden full of bougainvillea, orange and lemon trees.
