Crete isn’t just a destination, it’s a feeling. A place where ancient myths blend with modern elegance, where the sea glows turquoise under the Mediterranean sun, and where hospitality is a way of life. And for travellers seeking the best of both worlds of sophistication, comfort, and authenticity, two exceptional resorts rise above the rest: Niko Seaside Resort Crete and InterContinental Crete.

These two jewels redefine island luxury, each offering a distinctive experience yet sharing a common soul, the timeless allure of Cretan beauty and warmth. Whether you’re dreaming of a romantic escape, a serene wellness retreat, or a stylish adventure, Crete’s most exclusive resorts are ready to make your next holiday unforgettable. Both these hotels are only 500m Aghios Nikolaos resort centre and position across the road from the beach - perfect.

Why both of these hotels are in great locations...

  • Only a short walk from Kitroplatia Beach, the marina’s a lively hub of activity. Indulge in seafood specials and steal a glance across the harbour to marvel at the many yachts rocking back and forth in the calm waters.
  • Hop on a boat ride and see the islands for yourself.
  • Surrounded by an imaginative network of whitewashed shops, cafés and restaurants, the bottomless lake of Voulismeni is the perfect place to spend a cool afternoon stroll.
  • By night, it’s illuminated by the warm glow of lights from shop windows and tavernas, making it such a pretty scene.
