Atlantica Akti Zeus

Yearning for a chilled out escape on the coast of Crete? You’ll be right in your element at the Atlantica Akti Zeus on the island’s northern shoreline, a few kilometres west of Heraklion, with direct access to the beach and a whole host of top notch facilities on-site.

As well as two outdoor freshwater pools, the hotel boasts its very own aqua park with several exhilarating water slides that’ll provide unlimited entertainment – a sure fire winner if you’re visiting with little ones. There’s also a kids’ club, making this a perfect choice for families. And if you can steal away for a bit of me time, why not head to the spa and pamper yourself with an indulgent treatment? 

When you’re not lounging by the poolside or swimming in the sea, feel free to get involved in a game of beach volleyball, table tennis, darts or boccia, or head over to the gym for a workout if you’ve got energy to burn. There’s a fun-packed entertainment programme throughout the day followed by regular live shows in the evenings, so the fun certainly doesn’t fizzle out after sunset.

Expect an eclectic choice of dishes at the Minos buffet restaurant, or for a more refined dining experience, why not book a table at one of the à la carte restaurants specialising in Greek and Italian cuisine? With a snack bar and four other bars dotted throughout the resort, there’s always somewhere to grab a bite to eat or quench your thirst. 

The stylish, modern rooms each come with air conditioning, a TV, Wi-Fi access and tea and coffee facilities – everything you need to ensure a comfortable and restful stay.
