Luxury comes as standard when you check into Aldemar Knossos Royal Beach Resort in Hersonissos. This Crete hotel is not only close to the beach; but it showcases Minoan-style architecture, recently-updated guest accommodation, a friendly atmosphere, tasty culinary treats, and a plethora of sports and leisure facilities to enhance your Greek Islands' holiday.
Daytimes revolve around the amazing beach and pool; choose a sun lounger by the water's edge, swim in the waves, or treat yourself to a beach gazebo to chill-out and sip cocktails. Get active with a game of tennis, join in a beach volleyball match, or work out in the fitness centre. There's lots of fun for the kids at the mini-club, playground, and two pint-sized pools.
Relax and re-charge as the sun goes down in your well-fitted guest room, maisonette, or suite; where the wealth of amenities help you feel at home. Enjoy a glass of local wine as you watch a film on the cable/satellite television, unwind with a bubble bath, and update your social media using the Wi-Fi access. Air-conditioning and comfy beds aid a good night's rest.
Food and drink-wise; there's five eateries and four bars on site. Dine on buffet-style fare in the main restaurant, savour drinks and light bites by the pool and beach, feast on pastries and cakes with your favourite coffee, or go down the gourmet route and tuck into authentic Greek and Mediterranean specials. A line-up of evening fun brings your day to a fitting close.
