Almyrida Gardens sits in the centre of relaxed Almyrida on Crete’s north coast, a small seaside village known for its family-run tavernas and gently shelving Blue Flag beaches. Step outside and you’re moments from the waterfront, with a choice of cafés, mini-markets and traditional restaurants all within a short walk.

Chania’s atmospheric Old Town and Venetian harbour are around 24km away – close enough for an easy day (or evening) trip by bus, taxi or hire car – so you can pair village calm with a dose of Cretan culture.

What All Inclusive typically includes.

Almyrida Gardens itself is all about tranquil gardens and easy beach access. The sandy bay of Almyrida is just 100m away, with calm, shallow water that’s great for swimming, paddling and beginner-friendly water sports.

Guests can also use the rooftop infinity pool at sister hotel Almyrida Residence (across the road), which comes with loungers, parasols and beautiful sea and mountain views – a lovely spot for a late-afternoon dip or a lazy day in the sun.

Stay active with an air-conditioned gym at Almyrida Residence, featuring cardio machines and a free-weights area (minimum age 18 years, typical opening 10:00–19:00).

Water sports – including canoeing, kayaking, pedalos and windsurfing – are available on the beach via an external provider (usually for ages 18+; all at extra cost and weather/season dependent).

For downtime, there’s an off-site spa area at the sister hotel with steam room and massage treatments (charges apply; minimum age 18). Occasional evening entertainment, such as live music, runs between early May and late October, giving the village an extra buzz without overwhelming the relaxed atmosphere.

On the practical side, reception offers luggage storage and general assistance, and the gardens provide quiet nooks to read, relax or enjoy a pre-dinner drink.
