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: approx. 450m
Nearest beach (including Glaros Beach): approx. 1km
Chania Town / Venetian harbour: approx. 20 minutes’ drive
Local shops, bars and restaurants: short walk

Approx. transfer time from airport: 50 minutes

Kato Daratso, Crete (Chania Area), Greece

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.

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.

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)

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

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.

5. 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.

6. Does Sirios Village have a gym, sauna or spa?

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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

10. 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.
