Set on the long sandy shoreline of Amoudara, Agapi Beach Resort puts you right on the beach yet only a short hop from Crete’s capital. The resort itself is low‑key and easy-going, with tavernas, bars and shops about 600m away, while Heraklion’s museums, harbourfront and boutiques are less than a 15‑minute drive.

This stretch of Crete’s north coast is ideal if you like to mix lazy beach days with cultural exploring – you can be wandering the old city walls or heading out to Knossos in no time, then return to sunset cocktails by the sea.

Agapi Beach Resort leans into Crete’s food culture with a genuinely varied All Inclusive line‑up. The Mediterraneo Main Restaurant is your buffet hub for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with show cooking, kids’ buffets, highchairs and even microwaves for families. Expect Greek favourites alongside international choices and themed nights.

Down by the water, the Seaside Taverna serves Greek and local dishes for lunch and dinner, including buffet lunches during the week and a BBQ lunch on Sundays, all just steps from the beach. For an Italian fix, book into Piazza D’Italia, an à la carte spot for pizzas, pastas and antipasti, while Taka Taka Mediterranean Street Food offers relaxed, snack‑style plates with Spanish, Greek and international influences.

Drinks are spread across several bars: the stylish 1978 Lobby Bar for pre‑ or post‑dinner cocktails, a handy pool bar that also serves snacks, Sansa Beach Bar for sea‑view sips with your toes in the sand, and the open‑air Theatro Entertainment Bar in the gardens for shows and live music on selected nights.

Smart casual dress is generally requested in the main and à la carte restaurants, particularly at dinner, and beachwear is not permitted inside. Reservations and supplements can vary by season and board details; we’ll confirm the latest at the time of enquiry. What All Inclusive typically includes.

You’ll have four freshwater pools to rotate between. There are generous main pools with sunbathing terraces, loungers and parasols, plus a dedicated outdoor children’s pool perfect for splash time. Another pool is heated in cooler months (typically April–May and October–November), so you can swim comfortably at the start and end of the season. Pool towels are included.

Step beyond the gardens and you’re straight onto the long sandy beach of Amoudara, with sunbeds and parasols and the Sansa Beach Bar for drinks. Water sports are available from an external provider, including canoeing, inflatables, water polo and motorised options for adults (charges may apply and age restrictions can apply).

Stay active at the fully air‑conditioned gym, which offers cardio machines, a free weights area and strength equipment (typically 07:00–21:00, 18+). A daily activity schedule includes aerobics, aqua aerobics, pilates, yoga, tennis, volleyball, petanque, table tennis and darts, plus occasional cooking classes so you can bring some Cretan flavours home.

For downtime, head to the spa for massages, beauty treatments, a sauna and steam room (16+, extra charges). There’s also an on‑site hairdresser. Around the resort you’ll find a children’s playground, leafy gardens to stroll and dedicated entertainment venues for shows and live music.

Practical touches include a 24‑hour reception with concierge services, currency exchange, luggage storage and hire of useful equipment such as kettles, pushchairs, bottle warmers and wheelchairs (some items with local charge).
