Lovely, quiet hotel for a relaxing break with lovely views. The massage at hotel spa was an absolute bliss! Beach at hotel is pebbles but it did not bother us. Sun lounges with unbrella is for rent We had breakfast only option with a couple nice restaurants to eat. Walking distance to Agios town. Would definatly recommend.

Newark Liberty Intl. Airport (EWR) to Heraklion (HER)

9.6/10 Exceptional! (42 reviews)

Pone, was incredible. An easy park if your drive in, to staff that welcomed you with a refreshing drink on arrival, once checked in we are given beautiful bracelets as a gift, welcome snacks and desserts, of course a local bottle of wine. Our room was exquisite with a gorgeous relaxing private pool, the spa, was so relaxing, as we opted to do the most minimal as we had a time crunch. But still left having the best experience, zero gravity massage, hyperbolic oxygen machine, sauna, steam, salt room, and an incredible contrast therapy water shower. A MUST when in Heraklion, if you have the time stay here before you take a ferry to Santorini, it’s an easy 7 Min ride to the ferry.

Explore the great outdoors at Lake Voulismeni, a lovely green space in Agios Nikolaos Town. Wander the seaside and beautiful beaches in this relaxing area.

Wow, this place reeks of history. Seriously ancient crumbling ruins from many centuries ago. To be sure, it could use more restoration but we found it interesting nonetheless.
