Villa Sonia  

On Crete’s northern shore in Hersonissos, Villa Sonia sits a few minutes from the town center and right by the beach. It’s a 3-minute walk from St. Paraskevi Church, about 0.5 mi from Aquaworld Aquarium and 1.1 mi from the Creta Maris convention centre. Nearby beaches include Limanakia, Hersonissos Beach and Playa Con Chicos. This is a pet-friendly, family-friendly beachfront villa ideal for easy access to town and sea.

Rooms feel relaxed and practical with kitchenettes and private balconies that boast spectacular views of the Cretan Sea. Pillowtop beds come with Egyptian cotton sheets and plasma TVs with satellite channels. The property blends a quiet, family-friendly atmosphere with a central location so you can stroll into town then come back to sea-breeze evenings and the sound of waves.

Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and step straight onto the beach for snorkeling or water sports. On-site highlights include a massage room and body treatments, a diving club, a terrace, bar and multiple dining outlets (five restaurants and six cafés are listed). Practical perks: complimentary Wi‑Fi across the property, free self-parking, elevator access, laundry, ATM, safe-deposit box, car rental and a tour desk. Pets are welcome.

Complimentary wireless internet and express check-in/check-out make short stays smooth. The hotel is about 1.1 mi from the Creta Maris convention centre, and airport/ferry shuttles are available for a surcharge. Multilingual staff and tour/ticket assistance are on hand.

Several on-site restaurants and cafés plus a bar provide options for every mood. Cooked-to-order breakfasts are available daily from 9:30 AM to noon for a fee, and the hotel’s eateries and coffee shops make it easy to grab morning fuel or a relaxed evening bite.
