There's nothing like relaxing by the water while you're on vacation. Take a picnic to Lake Voulismeni and then hang around for a pretty sunset.

You'll find this body of water in Agios Nikolaos Town. Once you've done all you can at Lake Voulismeni, have a look at nearby Voulisma Beach, Elounda Windmills, and Istro Beach.

8.8/10 Excellent! (115 reviews)

The owners, Matthew and Kim, are incredibly sweet and welcoming, and they’ve created a truly beautiful hotel. My children absolutely loved it here. The property features two pools and is set in a quiet, picturesque location that’s perfect for relaxing. The accommodations were wonderful—spacious rooms, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. Breakfast was fantastic and clearly prepared with care. The nearby restaurant options were excellent, offering great variety within easy walking distance. Two beautiful beaches are just a short drive away—both small, peaceful, and never too crowded—which made our days by the sea even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a beautiful experience from start to finish. I loved every moment of my stay and would highly recommend Paradice Luxury Hotel to anyone visiting Crete.

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.
