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.

• Hillside setting above Koutouloufari
• 800m to Koutouloufari resort centre (bars, tavernas, mini‑markets)
• 1.5km to Hersonissos resort centre
• 1.5km to the nearest beach at Hersonissos

Approx. transfer time from airport: 1 hour

Koutouloufari, Crete (Heraklion Area), Greece

The heart of the hotel is its friendly poolside restaurant, Amazones, which blends buffet and à la carte service. You can expect a mix of international classics, British favourites and plenty of Greek and local dishes – ideal if you want to try Cretan flavours without leaving the hotel every night.

Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks are typically served in the same relaxed space, with highchairs and a kids’ menu available for younger guests. A smart‑casual dress code may apply in the evenings.

Next door, the Amazones Bar serves cocktails, drinks and light bites by the pool from May to October, making it an easy spot for sunset aperitifs before you stroll into the village.

Operational dates, reservations and any supplements can vary by season and board basis; exact details are confirmed locally.

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.
