This trip to Crete was exceptional and exceeded all my expectations. I’m really hard pressed to come up with a “favorite part”. But if I have to, I would say it was all the wonderful Greek people we met and made personal connections with. Of course because of my keen interest in ancient history and archaeology, exploring Knossos and other historical sites, Minoan and otherwise, was particularly thrilling for me. And don’t get me started on the incredibly delicious food! Oh and the impossibly gin clear, turquoise, azure beckoning sea! We also enjoyed exploring the mountainous regions of Crete, little villages, hiking, and experiencing the warm, welcoming and incredibly hospitable Cretan people and their culture.
Siena was an incredible help in putting together this dream trip. Every driver, guides, experiences, and accommodations were wonderful. This trip of 3 weeks was seamless. We are truly looking forward to returning to Greece and will seek out and explore new adventures through the help and guidance of Siena and KimKim Travel. I highly recommend them with no reservations! (No pun intended!)
Hotel Review
What a beautiful resort! And what a posh, elegant, spacious and comfortable suite! We loved every minute we were there. The only drawback was that the beach was closed due to some government regulations. However, with our own en-suite private pool we were golden. For some, the proximity to the Heraklion airport may not be ideal. But for us, it wasn’t a deal breaker. The atmosphere is exceedingly calm, relaxing, modern, comfortable and elegant. Breakfast is phenomenal with more delicious foods than one could possibly imagine (or eat in one sitting). The restaurant offering Cretan dishes is beautiful, romantic and delicious. We ate there every night which is highly unusual for us but it was that good. I had a massage at the spa and that was a 5 star experience. I didn’t want it to end! We would definitely stay at this hotel again and highly recommend it!
