Aelius Hotel & Spa  

On Crete’s north coast in Kato Gouves, Aelius Hotel & Spa sits about 600 meters from a sandy beach. It’s within walking distance of shops, restaurants and bars, and just a short drive from Cretaquarium, the Cretan Golf Club, two major water parks and Heraklion (airport ~14 km, port ~17 km). Family-friendly and easy to reach by bus, taxi or car.

Contemporary rooms and suites pair modern comfort with simple Cretan touches. Many rooms have memory-foam beds, private furnished balconies or patios and deep-soak tubs. The resort offers roughly 170–200 rooms and includes a distinct 30-room boutique wing with a swim-up pool and a private snack bar for a quieter, more exclusive stay.

Multiple pools—indoor and outdoor—plus the boutique swim-up pool. Full-service spa with massages, body treatments and facials, plus sauna and steam bath. Fitness center, table tennis, entertainment, karaoke and a library. Complimentary beach shuttle, poolside bar and free self-parking set the stage for relaxed, sea-breeze mornings and long, easy evenings.

Conference hall and meeting facilities for board meetings and events. Complimentary wireless internet (high-speed) across the property. 24-hour front desk, concierge and multilingual staff to support business needs.

Two on-site restaurants, including Erontas Main Restaurant, serve Greek and international dishes with a focus on local flavors and regional wines. Daily complimentary buffet breakfast (7:30–10:30). Poolside bar, bar/lounge and limited-hours room service keep things convenient and social.
