Map & location
Koutouloufari, Crete (Heraklion Area), Greece
Amazones Village Suites sits on a quiet hillside just above Koutouloufari, a traditional Cretan village known for its stone lanes, rustic houses and atmospheric tavernas. From the hotel, you can stroll downhill into the village for an evening of meze and local wine, or continue on towards neighbouring Piskopiano and Hersonissos for more choice.
Being elevated means big views – on clear days you can watch the light shift over the Mediterranean and the coastline below. The nearest beach and the buzzier resort life of Hersonissos are close enough for easy days out, but far enough that evenings at the hotel remain peaceful.

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
The hotel’s outdoor freshwater pool sits on a raised terrace, maximising those sea and countryside views. There’s a dedicated children’s section, plus a sunbathing area furnished with sunbeds and parasols – an easygoing place to spend lazy days with a book and something cool from the bar.
Pool towels are available with a refundable deposit, and inflatables and water toys are permitted, which is handy for families with older children. Facilities and opening dates are generally from 01 May to 31 October and may vary by season.
For sand between your toes, head down to Hersonissos; its beaches are about 1.5km away and can be reached by taxi or a longer walk downhill.
