Esperides Resort Crete  

Perched in the traditional village of Koutouloufari on Crete’s north coast, this renovated resort looks out over the sea and the Hersonissos bay. It’s just 1 km from Hersonissos port and about 25 km from Heraklion International Airport, perfect for family-friendly escapes and romantic getaways.

Fully rebuilt from its 1980 roots, the property offers 105 modern suites with balconies or terraces, soundproof windows, and contemporary bathrooms. The vibe blends sleek, island‑modern décor with Cretan touches; elevators and ramps make the property easily accessible.

Swim in multiple pools (including a children’s pool), unwind in the spa, or sip cocktails across three bars. On-site perks include a classy à la carte restaurant, fitness classes, beauty treatments, and eco-friendly practices—wake up to sea-breeze mornings and lounge poolside.

24-hour reception, concierge and express check-in/out keep things smooth. Wireless internet access is available property-wide for guests who need to stay connected.

A stylish à la carte restaurant anchors the dining scene, backed by three lively bars. Expect menus with local Cretan influences and easy options for room service or grab-and-go drinks between island adventures.
