Food, drink & nightlife

Museums aren't all dusty shelves and drab displays. Head to Nikos Kazantzakis Museum and be inspired, educated and entertained. Each piece has a story waiting for you to discover.

Nikos Kazantzakis Museum is an interesting place to start out your day in Archanes-Asterousia. This museum is recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Set aside time for other sights like Palace of Knossos, Heraklion Archaeological Museum, and Natural History Museum of Crete to really experience what's on offer in the area.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (204 reviews)

It is one of the most beautiful places we've had the great fortune to experience, and it is so beautiful that we didn't leave the resort during our entire 3-day stay. From start to finish, every detail was considered, and every need was taken care of. The team is welcoming and kind, and the location is absolutely stunning. While visiting with my partner (our kids left at home), we were keenly aware of how family-friendly the resort is, a pro for the many happy groups around us. If you plan to visit in May as we did, know the water will be fresh (!), and private pools might be too chilly to truly enjoy - though they'll still offer the perfect backdrop for some of the best photos you may ever take! We highly recommend Daios Cove.
