Almare Beach Hotel  

On Crete’s north coast in Kokkini Hani, a beach-side spot 12 km east of Heraklion and a short drive from Hersonissos nightlife. The sandy shore sits about 40 m away and a public bus stop is right outside, making excursions and port transfers easy. Family-friendly and small by design — pets are not allowed.

A newly renovated (2024) boutique beach hotel with only 12 rooms for a quiet stay. Rooms open onto balconies or patios with garden or sea views and include air conditioning, a fridge, satellite LCD TV and hairdryer. Housekeeping and maid service are provided (service patterns may vary). Guests can also use facilities at the adjacent sister property just 40 m away.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi and free onsite parking. Guests get free access to the sister hotel's pool, bars and restaurant; the pool area offers sunbeds and umbrellas and runs seasonally. On-beach watersports, massages and certain outdoor venues are available at extra charge. Medical assistance is available on call.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. Practical services include a safe-deposit box (fees may apply), luggage storage, tour/ticket assistance, and dry cleaning/laundry.

An on-site restaurant plus a snack bar/deli and bar/lounge serve guests. Daily complimentary buffet breakfast is served from 08:00–09:30. Half-board options (buffet breakfast and dinner; a la carte lunch) and themed evenings are offered at the nearby sister hotel, with Greek and international dishes on the menu.
