Grecotel El Greco

An introduction to Grecotel El Greco

Brilliant blue skies. Golden sands. Crystal clear seas. Sounds good doesn't it? So leave the dreary-grey skies of home behind and head for this delicious slice of Cretan gorgeousness. And with breathtaking views over the azure waters and the snow-capped Lefka Ori Mountains, it's holiday heaven alright. But although this chic hotel sits slap bang on the yellow sands, you may have trouble finding time for the beach. Instead your days will be packed with aerobics, windsurfing and, for the kids, t-shirt painting. Or simply spent lounging by the pool as the world buzzes on by. Later, when your skin has taken on a soft holiday glow and you've tired of tanning, head inside for dinner. Pause on the way to admire the fab ceiling fresco in the chic marble lobby. It's enough to take your breath away. Their take on the Sistine Chapel has brought the outside in. So, you won't miss a second of those beautiful blue skies. In the restaurant, chefs show off their skills as they flambe your dinner into life. Top it off with organic salad, fresh from the Grecotel farms. Delicious is not the word. And when you're brim-full of tasty treats such as baklava, a honey and nut filo pastry, make a beeline for the bar. Sink into a comfy yellow sofa and sip ouzo as you watch the sun sink into the pink tinged sea. Add a touch of class to your island holiday with a stay at the stylish Grecotel El Greco.

The greco hotel was fantastic, the food was 100%, the service was top class and the rooms were clean, comfortable and luxurious. The only downside was the beach, unsafe for children and adults, but the pools in the hotel well and truly made up for... more on this review
