Nestled on a verdant slope on the northeast coast of Crete, the King Minos Palace overlooks a sandy bay which is accessible to guests via a 200 meter long, secluded path. Guestrooms are a natural extension of the hotel's whitewashed outer walls and surrounding floral and foliage gardens, offered as they are in cool pastels with lightwood furnishings and balconies or terraces. All provide refrigerators and cable TV. The hotel's modern Cretan theme stretches to the onsite Greek and international restaurant, where richly stained furnishings surround an open kitchen and presentation area, from which guests can serve themselves breakfast and dinner. Other resort amenities include two freshwater swimming pools, two floodlit tennis courts and a children's entertainment club; opportunities for watersports lie in the hotel's vicinity. Lying 2 kilometers to the east, the cosmopolitan town of Hersonissos is stuffed with bars, restaurants, shops and beachside tavernas, while slightly further afield culture vultures can roam the ancient Minoan palace of Malia and the region of Lassithi Plateau, famed for its white windmills. Heraklion International Airport is approximately 30 minutes driving time at a distance of 26 kilometers.
