Grecotel Creta Palace

Rethymno, Crete, Greece

A recently refreshed Creta Palace now centres on a village square leading to a new aquapark, a zero-entry pool and Grecoland, Grecotel's kids' world. Children under twelve stay and eat free, and Rethymno's fortress is ten minutes away. It suits families who want space and splash more than formal, long-hours childcare.
