Overview

 
Tucked among olive trees and flower-filled paths on Crete’s north coast, Sirios Village is a relaxed, village-style All Inclusive resort that’s spot-on for families. Low-rise bungalows gather around a cluster of pools, including mini-splash zones for younger children and quiet corners for grown-ups. Add in family suites, private-pool options and easy access to Glaros Beach and Chania’s old town, and you’ve got a great-value base for a sunshine holiday that everyone can enjoy.

A scattering of whitewashed bungalows, shady trees and sparkling pools give Sirios Village a laid-back, Cretan-hamlet feel. Kids can bounce between splash pools and slides while adults drift between the main pool, the bar and leafy terraces. With All Inclusive as standard and private-pool suites available, this is the kind of place where you quickly slip into a relaxed, barefoot routine. For couples and families seeking Crete (Chania Area)’s charm with minimal faff, Sirios Village delivers the perfect balance. It’s approximately 50 minutes from Chania Airport (CHQ).

Map & location


Kato Daratso, Crete (Chania Area), Greece

Sirios Village sits in the peaceful resort of Kato Daratso on Crete’s north coast, just west of Chania. The area blends village charm with practical holiday convenience: a handful of shops, tavernas and bars are a short stroll away, while several beaches – including golden Glaros Beach with its shallow water – are within easy reach.

Chania’s atmospheric old town and Venetian harbour are close enough for evening wanderings along cobbled streets, browsing the market and dining by the water, yet far enough that the hotel itself keeps a calm, family-friendly feel.

  • Kato Daratso resort centre 450m
  • beach (including Glaros Beach) 1km
  • Chania Town / Venetian harbour 20 minutes’ drive
  • Local shops, bars and restaurants short walk
  • Approx. transfer time from airport 50 minutes

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


Water is the star of the show at Sirios Village. There are five outdoor freshwater pools scattered through the gardens, including:

• Two main pools with sunbathing terraces, sunbeds and parasols – inflatables and water toys are generally permitted, which keeps kids happy.
• Three children’s pools, some with small slides and play features, all with surrounding sunbeds so parents can supervise in comfort.

Pool towels are available with a refundable deposit, saving luggage space.

When you fancy the sea, the nearest beaches are about 1km away. Glaros Beach offers soft golden sand, shallow water that’s great for paddling with little ones, and a choice of cafés and tavernas. For more sheltered coves, Golden Beach and Agii Apostoli Beach are nearby alternatives.

Spa, sports & wellness


Staying active is easy here. The compact but well-equipped gym is air-conditioned and features cardio machines, a free-weights area and fixed strength equipment, along with a sauna and steam room for post-workout unwinding (minimum age 12 years; seasonal opening, typically 08:00–18:00).

On the sports side you’ll find:
• Football (local charges may apply)
• Tennis courts (equipment and floodlights may be extra)
• Table tennis

Evenings often bring a mix of in-house entertainment, professional shows and live music, alongside children’s mini-discos in high season – the programme tends to run from May to October, with more frequent events in summer.

Additional facilities include a handy on-site mini-market for essentials and snacks, and free Wi-Fi throughout the property so you can stay connected or stream by the pool.

Food & drink

The heart of the All Inclusive set-up at Sirios Village is the main buffet restaurant. Expect generous spreads at breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a mix of Greek favourites and international crowd-pleasers, plus live show-cooking at breakfast and dinner. There’s a large terrace for open-air meals on warm Cretan evenings, and a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere.

The pool bar keeps you topped up with local drinks throughout the day and into the evening – ideal for a post-swim coffee or a sundowner by the water. Light snacks and ice cream help bridge the gap between meals, making it easy to keep children fuelled without leaving the pool area.

Smart-casual dress is usually requested at mealtimes (no beachwear in the restaurant), and All Inclusive inclusions and opening times can vary by season, so check the latest details on arrival. For typical inclusions, see what All Inclusive typically includes.

FAQs
Is Sirios Village good for families with young children?
Yes, Sirios Village is very family-orientated. There are three children’s pools – including sections with small slides and splash features – plus a playground, mini-disco on selected evenings and spacious family suites. The relaxed, village-style layout with low-rise buildings and gardens also feels less overwhelming for younger children than a high-rise resort.
How far is Sirios Village from the beach?
The nearest beach is around 1km from Sirios Village, with several options within easy reach, including Glaros Beach with its golden sand and shallow water. You can walk in around 15–20 minutes or take a short taxi or local bus ride if you have little ones or lots of kit with you.
What does the All Inclusive at Sirios Village usually include?
All Inclusive at Sirios Village normally covers buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner in the main restaurant, plus snacks from a self-service snack bar between 10:00 and 23:00 and ice cream between 11:00 and 21:00. Local wine, beer, ouzo, raki, brandy and soft drinks are available from 10:00 to 23:00, with a small selection of spirits and three daily cocktails typically served from 12:00 to 23:00. Programme details can change each season, so check the latest information at check-in.
Do any rooms at Sirios Village have private pools?
Yes. Suites with Private Pool and Superior Rooms with Private Pool are available, giving you your own terrace with sunbeds and a private swimming pool or plunge pool. Some private pools can be heated on request for an extra daily fee payable locally, which is handy in the shoulder seasons.
Is there entertainment in the evenings at Sirios Village?
There is a seasonal entertainment programme, usually running from May to October, with more frequent events in the main summer months. Expect a mix of in-house shows, professional performances, live music, and mini-discos for children. Exact frequency and content varies by date and occupancy.
Does Sirios Village have a gym, sauna or spa?
Sirios Village has an air-conditioned gym with cardio machines, free weights and fixed strength equipment, as well as a sauna and steam room. These facilities are generally open from 08:00–18:00 between mid-April and late October, with a minimum age of 12 years. Full spa services are limited on site, but the sauna and steam are great for a simple wellness fix after a day at the pool or beach.
Are there many steps at Sirios Village?
Sirios Village spreads across a gently sloping site with low-rise bungalow-style blocks and no lifts, as most buildings are only two storeys high. While paths connect the different areas, there will be some steps and inclines, so if you have reduced mobility it’s worth requesting a room close to the main facilities and asking your Travelisto consultant to note any accessibility needs on your booking.
How long is the transfer from Chania Airport (CHQ)?
The transfer from Chania Airport to Sirios Village is approximately 50 minutes by coach, depending on traffic and other hotel stops. Private transfers can be quicker and offer a more direct journey, especially useful if you’re arriving late with children.
Is Wi-Fi available at Sirios Village?
Yes, free Wi‑Fi is available throughout Sirios Village, including the main public areas and guest rooms. Speeds are generally fine for browsing, messaging and basic streaming, though this can vary with occupancy and where you are within the complex.
What is the typical atmosphere like at Sirios Village?
The resort has a friendly, easy-going atmosphere with a strong family focus – expect lively pool areas in the daytime, especially around the splash pools, and a sociable but not overly rowdy vibe in the evenings. If you want quieter moments, the village-style layout and multiple pools mean it’s usually possible to find a calmer spot away from the main activity.
