Colindria Mare  

On Crete’s northeast coast in the fishing village of Sissi — a short 100 m stroll to the village center and about 350 m from the beach. Boufos, Avlaki and Kalimera beaches are all within easy reach, with Heraklion roughly 40 km away and Agios Nikolaos about 20 km.

A cluster of 100 rooms and bungalows across 11 low-rise buildings set among gardens and palms, keeping the vibe relaxed and village-like. All rooms have a balcony or terrace, bath/shower and TV with satellite channels; extras include air conditioning, fridge, safe and telephone for an additional charge.

Plunge into the outdoor swimming pool, grab a snack at the pool bar or unwind at the lobby bar. The property also offers a reception desk, a playroom for kids and sports courts for basketball and volleyball, plus a safe-deposit box on site — perfect for easy, seaside living and sea-breeze mornings.

An on-site restaurant serves meals and the pool snack bar keeps things casual between swims. The lobby bar is handy for evening drinks after exploring the village.
