Greek Idylls

Styled on ancient Minoan palaces, Amirandes is an exclusive beachside resort that epitomises Crete’s most inspiring features: beautiful architecture, warm hospitality, excellent cuisine and stunning land and seascapes. Indeed, wherever you roam through the resort you are never far from water. Notwithstanding the superb spa with its indoor pool, the showcase for swimming must be the Olympic-size saltwater pool, with columns around the edges, underneath which you can enjoy a spot of shade. The vast estate of the resort offers a tantalising selection of six dining venues. For award winning Cretan cuisine, the resort pays hommage to both the famous labyrinth of Knossos and the artist, Picasso at The Minotaur. Located by the lagoon, a romantic dinner is best experienced on a clear night on one of the floating decks under the stars. Families will appreciate the flexible accommodation options. Parents will also find that their children are well catered for with their own pool area, a wide range of sports activities and, of course, water sports for all the family. Meanwhile, Elixir Spa offers a perfect retreat for adult indulgence. Amirandes Grecotel Boutique Resort Heraklion, Crete
