Mitsis Cretan Village

This village-style resort on the north coast of Crete is an ideal base for a family holiday offering a mixture of relaxation, fun and plenty of sun, with a fantastic range of high quality facilities and a prime beachfront location. 

Five outdoor sea water pools means you’ll have ample space in which to unwind, catch a tan and sip your favourite drink while looking out towards the shimmering waters of the Aegean Sea, while the kids club provides a comprehensive entertainment programme to keep young ones occupied. There’s a whole host of ways to stay active, too, with four tennis courts, aqua aerobics, beach volleyball, water polo and yoga among the array of activities on offer, so you certainly won’t find yourself at a loose end. 

If it's R&R you're after, stroll over to neighbouring Mitsis Royal Mare and check out their impressive spa offering. Thalassotherapy is the focus, so expect the likes of hydrotherapy, seaweed wraps and more – all centred around the healing properties of seawater. There's massages and facials on the menu, too, plus you can hop between the Hammam, the sauna, and the three heated swimming pools. 

Satisfy your appetite at the main buffet restaurant, where you can expect show cooking stations serving up fresh, flavoursome Cretan and Mediterranean favourites. If seafood is your thing, you’ll love the beachfront buffet, while the à la carte taverna offers a more refined dining experience with spectacular sea views. With several bars to choose from, including ones by the pool and by the beach, there’s no shortage of places to quench your thirst, either. 

The rooms and bungalows here are decorated in typically Cretan, summery colour tones, and all come with spacious, marble-tiled bathrooms and furnished balconies or verandas.
