The striking open plan living and dining area also includes a fully equipped kitchen where you can rustle up your own culinary creations whenever you wish. However, with two of Crete’s best à la carte restaurants located within the resort itself, you may prefer to leave at least some of the cooking to their highly-skilled chefs. You can even have dishes from their delicious Greek and international menus served in the privacy of your own dining room or outside on your terrace.

To ensure you return home fit, healthy and relaxed after your stay, a private gym, sauna and steam bath are yours to enjoy together. Among the many optional extras on offer is the hire of a personal trainer, yoga or Pilates instructor, or why not call on the expert services of the resort’s masseuse or beauty therapist who will treat you in the comfort of your villa?

Take a wander around the nearby picturesque fishing village of Elounda, or explore the array of shops, bars and restaurants in the lovely lakeside town of Agios Nikolaos, only five kilometres from the resort.
