Worth getting out of bed for
Head into the traditional villages nearby for some Cretan culture; we’re fans of Koutouloufari, Old Hersonissos and Piskopiano, all between 3km and 5km of the hotel. Set off on horseback to canter through the olive groves (www.hersonissos-horse-riding.com), or tee off over at the local 18-hole golf course (www.crete.golf.com). The nearest beach is a 10-minute walk away.
Local restaurants
Visit Koutouloufari for evening entertainment fixes – it’s packed out with restaurants, taverns and bars, plus shops to pick up puddings. Veggera (+30 28970 21491) is particularly good for Greek tapas, and there are lots of other traditional taverns around the village square.
