Aldemar Knossos Royal   Four plus sun rating (This accommodation rating is a First Choice Sun Rating)

in Hersonissos , Crete

 

With its beachfront location and bundle of activities, this plush hotel is a fab choice for families. Little ones will love to whiz down the waterslide, splash about in the two kids’ pools, and run around the adventure playground. And while they’re buzzing about, you can take some time out by one of the three adult pools, or pick up some skills at the PADI diving school. And there’s plenty more choice come nightfall, too. We’re talking regular theme nights, discos and live music. Plus, the lively hub of Hersonissos is just a short taxi ride away.
