Oozing plush touches, Aldemar Knossos Royal knows a thing or two about lavish Greek stays. This beachfront, village-style complex is great for an authentic local retreat adorned with modern features. Alongside a choice of board bases and your pick of rooms and maisonettes, three outdoor pools and an amazing slide will be at your disposal too. Everyone’s catered for here, thanks to six restaurants, four bars, a top-notch gym, a huge range of sports activities and a children’s club. Keep an eye out for the regular entertainment programme during the summer. And when it comes to exploring, be sure to fit in a visit to nearby Hersonissos.
