“In my opinion, this beachfront resort in Kokkini Hani excels as an all-inclusive destination, particularly for families seeking a blend of relaxation and engagement. The variety of dining options and the thoughtful activity programming, like the water park and children's club, create a lively atmosphere; plus, it's reassuring to know that Heraklion and its airport are conveniently close.
