DISCOVER CRETE

The fifth largest island in the Mediterranean, Crete’s warm climate, varied landscape of high mountains and low valleys, rich culture and history, and mesmerising mythological stories give rise to an inspiring island and enchanting holiday destination.

Crete possesses a unique identity within the wider embrace of Greece and is famous as being the centre of the Minoan civilization (the earliest known in Europe) and the birthplace of the Ancient Greek king of gods, Zeus, in the Idaean Cave.

GOLDEN Hotels & Resorts’ four hotels are located along the northern coast of Crete, in the area of Hersonissos, which – as a seaside resort – is ideal for those seeking sun and sea, activities galore and a peaceful base from which to explore the rest of the island.
