The Padel – With 4 Padel courts onsite, it’s the perfect destination for this exciting trip.

The Location – The Kalimera Kriti Resort is only a 50 minute transfer from Heraklion Airport. Heraklion is a buzzing port city on the north coast of Crete. The hotel itself boasts its own secluded beaches, indoor & outdoor pools, water sports centre, and Spa, with Crete Golf Club just a 20 minute taxi ride away (why not add on an extra day and play some golf!)

Restaurants

The buffet restaurant at Kalimera Kriti is simply amazing. It offers a huge range of popular dishes as well as local delicacies made with only the freshest ingredients.

We tend to dine in the main buffet restaurant for all 3 meals of the day. This is all included at no extra cost. Subject to the seasonality of the a la carte restaurants, these may also be an option. 
If you’d like to dine outside the resort, there is a quaint fishing village to explore some authentic local cuisine.

Bars

We love the central main bar at Kalimera Kriti. It offers a relaxed atmosphere with a dancefloor if you’d like to throw a few shapes!
