Things to do

Crete is a land of astonishing natural diversity where many civilisations and traditions merge. A combination of mountains, lush plains and unspoilt fishing villages sit side by side with the graceful Venetian towns of Chania and Rethimnon. Aghios Nikolaos, located 12 kms from the hotel, is a charming town lying on the dramatic Voulismeni Lake, which boasts cafés, tavernas and fishing boats. In comparison, Elounda is smaller and more relaxed. Here, the harbour shelters fishing boats, which run out to Spinalonga isle with its rich history, guaranteed to charm visitors.
A visit to Crete should also include a trip to Knossos, the island’s famous Minoan Palace, and the Heraklion Archeological Museum.
Shopping opportunities comprise pottery, copies of Byzantine icons, Minoan-style jewellery, home-made lace, leather goods and olive oils.
Easter celebrations on the island involve a spectacular representation of the resurrection of Christ. Other cultural events take place throughout summer.
