This hotel is known as one of the best family-friendly stays in Crete – I visited to see if it lives up to the hype

Pleasing both adults and kids, this stylish, laid-back resort is modelled on a traditional Cretan village. It enjoys an enviable location overlooking the impossibly blue Mirabello Bay and has a safe, pine-backed beach for swimming.

Location

Set on picturesque Mirabello Bay in eastern Crete, the hotel is a 15-minute drive from the tourist town of Agios Nikolaos, where you can dine on the harbour front and take glass-bottom boat tours or longer-distance trips to Santorini, Astypalaia and other Cycladese and Dodecanese islands. Heraklion airport is just under an hour’s drive away.
