You can choose from Self Catering, Bed & Breakfast, or Half Board meal plans to suit your holiday style.

Pools and Spa

The resort features one of the largest swimming pools in the area, measuring approx. 300 square metres, surrounded by a spacious sun terrace. You can spend your afternoons soaking up the sun on a lounger or taking a dip to cool off from the Cretan heat. If you’re looking for extra relaxation, wellness treatments and massages are available at the on-site spa area to help you unwind, though these services are subject to an extra charge.

Beach

The nearest sandy beach is located in Hersonissos, approx. 1.5km away. You won’t need to worry about the uphill walk back, as the hotel provides a free shuttle bus service to the beach several times a day. As it is a public beach, sun loungers and umbrellas are available at an extra charge.

Sport and Entertainment

The atmosphere at Asterias Village Resort is laid-back and friendly. You can enjoy a game of billiards or table football in the games area, or simply enjoy the weekly Cretan evening which often features live music and traditional dancing. The resort’s elevated position makes it a chic setting for quiet evening drinks while watching the lights of the bay twinkle below.

Family Amenities

Families are well-catered for with a dedicated children’s swimming pool where the little ones can splash around safely. There is also an outdoor playground for kids to burn off some energy while you relax nearby. The spacious apartments and maisonettes provide the extra room and privacy that families need for a comfortable stay.
