A luxury family holiday to Crete

7 nights from £5,399 for a family of 4

Situated near the fishing village of Panormo, just down the coast from Rethymno, Grecotel Marine Palace strikes the perfect balance of offering activities to keep little ones entertained with a genuine sense of Greek heritage and culture. It is designed to feel less like a resort and more like a traditional Cretan village, offering families a holiday that feels easy.
  • The Kingdom of Poseidon Aqua Park is the headline act for most families, and rightly so. Spanning 6,000 square metres, with breathless free-fall slides for brave teenagers and designated splash zones for younger children, it solves the daily entertainment problem instantly.

  • The main restaurants at the resort offer plenty of variety, however the real culinary highlight is Barbarossa. As an à la carte option focused on seafood, it connects you to the island's maritime heritage. Sitting by the water, eating fish caught locally, provides a calm, sophisticated atmosphere where the focus is purely on excellent ingredients and conversation.

  • At Grecoland, young children can enjoy creative play through water activities, arts and crafts, team games, themed events, mini discos, cooking classes, environmental days, treasure hunts, gardening, and lively shows. Older children can explore sports, adventure games, nature activities, and stage performances, while teenagers can take part in beach volleyball, soccer, table tennis, archery, and water sports.

  • Nightlife here revolves around a quiet drink at the Mojito Bar or a show at the amphitheatre. If you venture beyond the resort, the charming harbour at Panormo is just a short stroll away, with its inviting waterfront tavernas. Further along the coast, Rethymno offers a taste of history where you can wander its cobbled streets, discover boutique shops, and soak up the atmosphere in the Venetian old town.
