The romantic city of Hersonissos entices visitors with popular attractions including Crete Golf Club and Acqua Plus Water Park, and is loved for the beach.
Imagine strolling along Heraklion Port for some great waterfront pics. It's located 0.6 mi (0.9 km) from central Heraklion.
Our travelers also like the museums in the area— your cultural tour starts here.
When you can't wait to soak up some sun, head to Balos Beach— one of the most popular seaside spots located 6.9 mi (11.2 km) from central Kissamos. Catch the sunset by the shore at Balos Lagoon, just a short walk away.
If you can't wait to get to the beach, you might enjoy a trip to Stalis Beach in the heart of Stalida. Enjoy the sunset by the shore at Malia Beach, Potamos Beach, and Palm Bay Beach.
You can stroll along Old Venetian Harbor for relaxing water views when you're in Old Town Chania. Why not take a stroll along the beaches and watch the sunset while you're here? If you carry on walking you'll get to Koum Kapi Beach and Nea Chora Beach for some more water views.
Whether you want to hunt for sand dollars or smell the fresh air, Agia Marina Beach is a spot you might want to check out, located 0.4 mi (0.7 km) from central Agia Marina. Enjoy the sunset by the shore at Stalos Beach, Platanias Beach, and Kalamaki Beach.
If being by the water is a major draw, Nea Chora Beach is a spot you might want to check out, located 0.8 mi (1.2 km) from central Chania. Catch the sunset by the shore at Golden Beach and Aptera Beach, located nearby.
Small resort on the hill overlooking the sea. New pool is sweet. We had a hot tub room, which was perfect. We overheard others with saying the private pools were too cold to hang out in. Breakfast was delicious. Walking to the beach town nearby was fun. Roads are very narrow and dark at night. It’s easy to get a cab back to the hotel.

This hotel has a high rating for a reason.
Service is excellent! We left early last day and found a bad of sandwiches, fruit and water waiting for us upon checkout. Breakfast is good and abundant. Bar staff is friendly and gives great service. Only thing I would improve is size of the gym but still it has a lot of gear.
Will be staying again.

My and my boyfriend really enjoyed this hotel. The staff was hospitable and helpful, trying to make your stay comfortable. Our room was well-cleaned daily. It had two separate beds, one next to another, two bedside lamps, wardrobe, desk with two chairs, mirrror and little fridge. We booked room with beautiful sea view (little more expensive) from large balcony with small plastic table and two chairs. If it comes to bathroom, shower was little annoying beacuse of small shower tray - after taking...

This is an excellent hotel located within walking distance of city center. We had a party of three, so we received a two room suite, which was excellent. The breakfast was great - had plenty of choices. The suite had a balcony which was a nice place to relax in the morning or evening. Staff was very helpful and courteous.

The reviews were spot-on. We throughly enjoyed our stay as it was convenient to restaurants, bars, shopping, local landmarks and of course the beach! The staff couldn’t have been nicer! And the breakfasts were outstanding! Super nice pool too! You’ll be glad you picked this place!

This place was amazing! Definitely the nicest lodging I have ever stayed in. We stayed in the Gaia suite which had an infinity pool that overlooked the ocean directly off of the cliff. The staff was incredibly nice and helped with anything we needed. The only downside I can even think of is that the food and drinks were expensive, but it makes sense for a place as nice as Acro. However, On our way out, they gave us a free lunch box with a sandwich and fruit - so thoughtful!

Nautilux was great ! We stayed here for our honeymoon. The hotel location is perfect in reythmno. A nice stroll along the beach adjacent to all the stores , dining , bars etc. The Nautilus suite was spacious clean and direct view to the sea. Buffet was decent. Wouldn’t call it a 5 star buffet though. Drinks were 5 star however. Direct access to beach. Beach is sandy but becomes rocky once you’re in the water. Staff were great and friendly. Entertainment was a 3 out of 5 and not daily. Rooms...

ONLY spent one night here but it was very special. An abandoned Cretan village now turned into a tasteful, sophisticated hotel with opportunities for wine tastings and spa treatments if desired. EXCELLENT restaurant with great wine list. Breakfast offers a variety of choices. Staff are obliging and friendly. I have seen other posts which say the prices are high for Crete but I don'g think you can compare this level of accommodation, food and service with other hotels in Crete.
