3. Dessole Malia Beach 4 *
- Where: Crete, Malia.

And 8 km from the hotel is Heraklion city center, so there will be no problems with where to go in the evening.

The disadvantages of this Greek paradise include a daily limit of 200 MB of Internet (for one device). You will have to pay extra for more traffic.

- Shore: sandy and pebble.
A huge hotel with 615 rooms is a half hour drive from the airport. Despite the huge territory and a large number of rooms, rest in Amilia Mare is quiet and peaceful.The rooms are nicely decorated and cleaned every day. The animation is fun and varied: water aerobics, dancing, children's contests and much more.

1. Aldemar Royal Mare Luxury Resort & Thalasso 5 *
- Where: Crete, Hersonissos.
- Proximity to the sea: first line.
- Shore: sandy and pebble.
The best hotel in Greece is also one of the most beautiful in our rating. It is surrounded by lush landscaped gardens. The sea near the hotel is clean and warm, but rocky, so you need to enter it carefully. You can also swim in one of the 25 private and shared pools, while the child splashes in the nursery. The bars regularly host themed nights, and you can spend extra calories on the tennis court, squash court, playing beach volleyball, ping pong, or visiting the fitness center and spa. The rooms are very clean with no unnecessary gilding or pretentiousness and are cleaned twice a day.
