Holidays to Koutouloufari on the Greek island of Crete combine lazy, lingering evenings with action-packed daytrips for the whole family.
Hidden charm
Koutouloufari's got itself a prime spot in the north of Crete, looking out over sandy coves and the ocean blue from a quiet hillside perch. In the village itself, you'll find cobbled alleyways, colourful courtyards and doorways draped in vines. Bougainvilleas line the shutters of quaint Cretan homes, giving the place a final fairy tale touch.
Head for Hersonissos
Koutouloufari's blissfully sleepy, but you'll find high-octane fun in Hersonissos, only a 20-minute walk away. On Star Beach, DJs blast out the latest tunes at foam parties, while parasailing and bungee jumping are great for adrenaline junkies. The nearby waterpark means kids can get in on the fun, too.
Deep blue Crete
Just a five-minute drive away is Crete's oldest aquarium – Aquaworld. It's home to rescued octopi, snakes, crustaceans and fish, and promotes an important conservationist message. Friendly staff can help you capture the perfect photo of curious turtles and golden geckos without bothering the happy critters.
