Four distinctive bars set the tone for every hour of the day: from morning refreshments to late-night cocktails. Whether you’re seeking a sunlit terrace, a beachside perch or an elevated setting, there is always the perfect place to raise a glass.
BUFFET RESTAURANT
Labyrinth, the resort’s iconic main restaurant, emerges from a breathtaking transformation into an immersive dining destination. With two outdoor terraces and a cozy indoor space this is the place to be when you can’t make a decision! The freshest ingredients and Grecotel’s talented chef brigade are here for you morning, noon and evening.
NEW BAR
Located in the glass-wrapped lobby and neighbouring The Labyrinth restaurant, the newly redesigned bar serves guests from morning to evening.
POOLS
NEW POOL
Four overflowing pools in the bluest blue gaze out to the Cretan Sea and the 12-kilometre stretch of golden beach. A breathtaking new poolscape designed for those who believe the best moments happen by the water.
NEW FAMILY POOL
Designed with younger guests in mind, the new zero-entry family pool is surrounded by an ample of sunloungers and verdure, creating a safe and carefree aquatic space where families can relax and play side by side.
THE CRETAN VILLAGE
At the heart of the resort, the Cretan village square breathes with the spirit of the island. Boutiques, a long-standing kafeneio and Anna’s Hair Salon, a taverna, a Cretan bottega and a chapel create a living, breathing celebration of Greek culture: a place where tradition is not performed, but genuinely felt.
KAFENEIO
A cornerstone of the Cretan village square, the Kafeneio, run by the legendary Pavlos, is where time slows and conversation flows. Untouched since 1989 and true to the spirit of the traditional Greek coffee house, it is the perfect place to savour a strong Greek coffee and meze under the storied plane tree.
AGRECO SHOP
A taste from the Grecotel family’s private farm to take home. The Agreco Shop offers a carefully selected range of naturally produced Cretan treasures. Extra virgin olive oil, aromatic honey, traditional Raki and more, all cultivated with the same passion and respect for the land that defines the farm itself.
ENVIRONMENT CENTER
At the new Environment Centre, real environmental sustainability meets hands-on discovery. Through activities and educational experiences, guests of all ages are invited to connect with Crete’s horticulture and crop varieties.
BOUTIQUES
Nestled within the Cretan village square, the resort boutique offers a curated collection of summer gems — a charming place alongside the bottega and the farm shop.
DORON SOCIETY
Nestled in the village square, icons and embroidery treasures of Agia Irene nunnery, invite you to discover beautifully handcrafted pieces that carry the soul and tradition of the island home with you.
ZYTHESTIATORIO & BAKALIKO
A new addition to the Cretan village square, Zythestiatorio revives traditional greek cuisine in its purest form. Dishes are prepared and presented authentically just as they are in the nearby villages and homes. Simple yet state-of-the-art dishes.
Grecoland is where childhood adventures come to life. Sandy beaches, a zero-entry family pool and expert supervisors, provide the backdrop for days filled with safety, sports, arts and crafts, and hands-on activities. Kids culinary workshops, the Agreco Be Farmer for a Day programme and immersive cultural experiences add depth and discovery, while babysitting services and family-friendly accommodations ensure every need is thoughtfully met.
SPA
The Elixir Spa is a sanctuary of stillness and renewal. A black indoor pool with hydromassage and water cannons, an open-air atrium with relaxation loggia, hydromassage bathtub, two saunas, gazebo open-air massage and a fully equipped beauty salon create a complete wellness retreat. Three single and two double private massage rooms, along with a state-of-the-art Technogym fitness room, complete an offering designed for every traveller.
