Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
A large 5-star beach resort of 328 rooms in Kolymbari, about 23km west of Chania, set in extensive gardens beside Kolymbari beach with multiple pools and several restaurants. It suits families wanting space and facilities away from town. Its Minoan-inspired architecture and 65,000 sqm of grounds give plenty of room for a dog, though only one small dog per booking is accepted.

Why it's in the collection

The resort's 65,000 sqm of gardens give generous on-site walking space, and a pebbly beach sits just steps away. Kolymbari village and the Gonia Monastery are a short walk, with the dramatic Seitan Limania and Afrata coves a drive away for bigger adventures.

Best suited for

One dog up to 6kg per stay; not permitted in food and beverage outlets, health club or pool areas.
