Hilltop Views at Royal & Imperial Belvedere Hotel
📍 <h3>Summary of the Region</h3><p></p><p>Hersonissos is one of Crete's most popular and lively coastal resorts, located on the island's northern coast just a short drive from the capital, Heraklion. It perfectly balances high-energy fun with traditional Greek charm. Down by the waterfront, you will find a bustling promenade packed with modern amenities, while a quick trip inland reveals authentic Cretan villages nestled in the hills, offering a much more relaxed, slow-paced atmosphere.</p><p></p><h3>Things to Do & Activities</h3><p></p><p>The local area is fantastic for both families and couples seeking entertainment. Just down the hill from the hotel is Star Beach Village & Water ParkClick to open side panel for more information, a massive beachfront complex offering thrilling water slides, pools, and water sports. If you are looking for something a bit different, the Labyrinth Park is a brilliant, mythology-themed attraction featuring a large maze, mini-golf, and a petting zoo that is perfect for younger children. For those who want to explore beyond the resort, the nearby port offers numerous boat trips, from relaxing sunset cruises to snorkelling excursions around Dia Island, or you can join a 4x4 Jeep Safari to discover the rugged Cretan mountains.</p><h3></h3><h3>Food & Drink</h3><p></p><p>Hersonissos caters to every taste. Along the vibrant seafront, you will find sophisticated spots like the King Scorpio Beach Club RestaurantClick to open side panel for more information, which offers stylish dining, cocktails, and fantastic ocean views. For a more traditional experience, I highly recommend venturing slightly uphill to the charming villages of Old Hersonissos or KoutouloufariClick to open side panel for more information. Here, you can dine at authentic, family-run tavernas like Zachos, where you can enjoy homemade moussaka, fresh local seafood, and a complimentary glass of raki under a canopy of grapevines.</p>🌍 Greece👥 6 Guests✈️ Glasgow (GLA)
