Maritimo Beach Hotel  

On Crete’s north coast in the seaside village of Sissi — a beachfront hotel steps from the picturesque harbour (under 100 m) and within walking distance of the town center. About 45 km from Heraklion International Airport and minutes from Agios Nikolaos, Hersonissos and Malia. Nearby beaches include Boufos, Avlaki and Kalimera.

Set across nine traditional buildings in manicured gardens, the hotel has around 130 air-conditioned rooms with private balconies or patios offering sea or garden views. Rooms feature fridges/minibars, flat-screen TVs, satellite/cable and private baths with complimentary toiletries and hairdryers. Family-friendly vibes meet lively evenings — think Greek nights with folk dancing — plus a children’s playground for little guests.

Dive into a large outdoor pool with poolside bar, unwind in the spa (adults-only spa area) with massages, or heat up in the sauna and steam bath. Wake up to sea‑breeze mornings on your balcony, use the concierge and tour desk for local excursions, and enjoy free on-site self-parking; airport shuttle and wedding services are available for a surcharge. Laundry, dry cleaning and round‑the‑clock reception keep stays effortless.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout the property, meeting room and banquet hall, 24-hour front desk and concierge services for event support.

Start the day with a complimentary buffet breakfast, then sample Greek, Cretan and international dishes at the on-site restaurant or grab snacks at the snack bar. Enjoy drinks at the bar/lounge or poolside, dine on the terrace, or order limited-hour room service while soaking up local flavors.
