The Akti Olous Beach Hotel is located in the Bay of Elounda, just next to a fully organized shingle beach on the North- East part of the island paradise of Crete. The hotel is painted in bright pastel colours and is a terrific hotel for couples and families with tastefully furnished guestrooms boasting a host of amenities. Guests to the Akti Olous Beach Hotel can discover marvellous beaches and sleepy villages along with a wide array of shops, restaurants, traditional tavernas and “ouzerias” and attractions in nearby Agios Nikolaos town. If you want an unforgettable holiday, the Akti Olous Beach Hotel provides everything you need in sunny Crete. Heraklion International Airport is a 70 km from the hotel.

Local Tips: Famous attractions include the archaeological sites at Knossos, Phaistos, Gortys. However, many other places, such as the Venetian castle in Rethymno, the Samaria Gorge and many other minor gorges (Agia Irini, Aradena, etc), are also of interest.
