“Close to Georgioupoli and set amid olive groves, this resort stands out for its commitment to both luxury and family, including supervised kids' clubs and multiple pools. I particularly note the organic farm, which supplies the dining venues, and the extensive recreational activities available. With its private beach, sustainability focus, and authentic Cretan touches, this property aims to be a destination in itself.”
