This hotel boasts excellent location in the beautiful area of Platanias, just 5 kilometres east of Rethymnon and a 1-hour drive from either of the two airports on the island of Crete. It allows guests easy access to all the sights and points of interest on the island, whether by public transportation or by car. Because no Greek vacation is complete, unless one is right next to the sea, the beautiful beach is just 200 metres from the hotel, but the complex also offers a crystal clear swimming pool with a children section, sun loungers, parasols and a pool bar. At night, visitors can experience a real Greek night, or have fun with a karaoke session. The airy yet cosy on-site restaurant serves Greek and Cretan specialities, so guests can try the authentic taste of the island.
