If you choose the Half Board option, you can enjoy the "Dine Around" programme, allowing you to taste your way through various on-site restaurants.

For a romantic evening, the Minotaure offers fine dining under the stars next to the pool.

Meal times are indicative and may be subject to change depending on the season.

Pools and Spa

The resort features a large outdoor sea-water swimming pool where you can spend your afternoons lounging in the sun. For a deeper level of relaxation, the Poseidon Spa offers a heated indoor pool, a Turkish steam bath, and a variety of Elemis treatments. Please note that the use of the Spa centre, including the sauna, steam room, and all massages or treatments, may be subject to additional charges.

Beach

You won’t have far to go for a swim, as the hotel sits directly on its own private, sandy Blue Flag beach. This sheltered cove is ideal for peaceful dips in the Aegean Sea. Sun loungers and umbrellas are provided free of charge for all guests, ensuring your beach days are as comfortable as they are beautiful.

Sport and Entertainment

If you prefer to stay active, you can visit the fully equipped fitness centre or take part in various water sports available at the beach. As the sun sets, the atmosphere shifts to a more relaxed vibe with live piano music or traditional Cretan nights. The resort focuses on a tranquil experience, making it a chic setting for those who enjoy sophisticated evening entertainment without the noise of a busy resort.

Family Amenities

Families are warmly welcomed with dedicated facilities to keep younger guests entertained. Kids will love the Galaxy mini-club, which offers a supervised programme of activities and games. There is also a dedicated children's paddling pool and a playground, while the hotel's layout ensures that families have plenty of space to enjoy their holiday together.
