Built like a Minoan palace, Grecotel Meli Palace revels in a dreamy seaside setting overlooking a tiny island. Escape to this exotic beachfront paradise, surrounded by palm trees, wild figs, hibiscus, cacti and olive trees. Set 2 kms from Sissi village, the style is refined, the pace casual: lose yourself in the meandering gardens and enjoy the exceptional cuisine.
Relive the myths of Greek legend at Knossos, one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world, or step back in time with the donkey-press, water mill and Taverna of Grecotel’s organic Agreco Farm. Play a memorable round at the dramatic Crete Golf Club, hewn out of the rolling landscape, or indulge the kids with water parks, horse riding and the CretAquarium.
