Atali Grand Resort  

In the village of Bali on Crete’s northern shore, in Mylopotamos — about 45 km east of Heraklion and 37 km from Rethymnon. A family-friendly resort just a 3-minute walk from Livadi Beach and 7 minutes from Varkotopos, with Heraklion International Airport close by.

A modern four-star resort with 239 air-conditioned rooms, many featuring balconies with sea, mountain, or garden views. Rooms come with flat-screen TVs, desks and en-suite bathrooms with bathtubs or rainfall showers; regular housekeeping is provided, towels change every 2 days and linens every 3 days.

Soak in outdoor swimming pools, unwind at the full-service spa with massages, or sip at the poolside bar and roof-garden snack bar — wake up to sea-breeze mornings. Recreation includes tennis, ping-pong, volleyball, a mini club and children's playground; the property also offers a 24-hour front desk, concierge, laundry and luggage storage, parking, an airport shuttle (surcharge), and is non-smoking.

Wireless internet access is available (surcharge), and rooms include desks and phones for working on the go.

Two on-site restaurants serve a mix of local and international dishes, while an elegant bar, poolside bar and roof garden snack bar keep the drinks and bites flowing.
