The island of Crete has something to be proud of, and not only the sea and beaches, but also a rich history. Few places in Greece are associated with so many ancient myths and legends, heroes and gods, stories and adventures.
Finally, dad and two children landed on the island of a long dream. Honestly, Heraklion International Airport named after Kazantzakis disappointed: small, stuffy - and this is with such a huge flow of passengers.
Upon check-in, the standard room, through negotiations and surcharges, was replaced with a Family Room. Already very standard, with three-digit numbers, look miserable.

The hotel is very good. Large territory, three pools in different parts of the hotel (not counting the additional sections for children), good all-inclusive food. To the delight of children and adults, there is a mini-water park. Everyone's favorite pizza is cooked in the oven for almost a whole day. Throughout the day, the hotel has an international team of animators - well done, they try. There is a mini-club for kids, but we didn't go there anymore. City municipal beach is 3-5 minutes walk from the hotel. Sand, very gentle beach, two sun loungers and an umbrella for 6 euros. And, of course, an evening entertainment show in the amphitheater, how could it be without it. To be honest, it left a double impression - just thanks for the effort. We did not rent a car, although there was a desire.
The palace of Knossos remains one of the most impressive sights of the Minoan era. As part of the group, we visited it, as well as a walking tour of the city of Heraklion. It was very interesting. The staff at the hotel is friendly. Nui in conclusion, I would like to note that the Gouves Park Holiday hotel in terms of price-quality is just an ideal place to relax. The main thing is a good mood and positive. Have a nice holiday everyone!
