Because of its seaview and unique environment, the Athina Palace is a must.
Located about 9 miles on the island's northern coast, west of Heraklion and Kazantzakis international airport, the Athina Palace neighbours the Angel Village, also built on the hills of Ligaria, across from Aghia Pelaghia Bay. Also nestled on the side of the mountain, but very different in style than the Angel Village, it overlooks the surrounding area, which includes, on one side, the coast constantly disturbed by the excavators, and on the other side, the hypnotising blue sea. The contrast is amazing.
There are no rooms in the main building. All rooms are distributed among the various blocks built in successive terraces along the rocky slope. Standard rooms, cottages, or suites: there are 349 rooms in total. All have a balcony or a terrace with (straight or side) sea view. They have air conditioning, television (10 channels), a safe (for rent), a direct international access telephone, and a refrigerator. The bathroom (there are 2 in the suites or cottages) features a tub and a hair dryer.
Built in 1996, this hotel is built in stairs and mazes that would be quite charming if not for the tiredness and vertigo it can cause to some people. The architecture, mainly straight lines and concrete masses, creates a surprising contrast with the environment, preventing any harmony with it. Inside, the hotel displays high luxury, with marble everywhere and antique furniture.
Located in the upper part of the hotel, the main restaurant overlooks the surroundings, with a superb view of the sea and of the Cretan coasts nearby. It is possible to eat on the large patio and, therefore, enjoy the sun and seaview. Numerous buffets offer Greek specialities and a selection of international dishes. The cuisine is similar in the second restaurant, and two snack-bars located by the swimming pool serve refreshments and snacks at any time of the day.
The hotel is open from April to the end of October. It is not recommended for people with limited mobility, because of its numerous stairs. The absence of a proper beach is notable. Being built on the side of a mountain, the Athina Palace does not have a beach.
The Ligaria village beach is 1 mile and a half below. A small grey sand cove, it is maintained by the city and offers deckchairs, parasols, and showers. There are also a bar and a restaurant.

Excellent hôtel. Chambres spacieuses et décoration agréable. Le plus, la terrasse. Les piscines sont un havre de paix et la situation pre ès de la mer est un pur luxe. La restauration est excellente , petit clin d'oeil aux baklavas et autres desserts divins.
Chambres et restauration.
Il faut prendre une voiture pour sortir.

hotel tres bien.... chambre basique ....les repas sont a volontés
très beau paysage autour et petite crique en bas de l'hôtel très sympathique
difficile pour les personnes handicapés
très bel hotel qui surplombe la mer de tous les cotés ! ou que l'on se trouve on voit la mer, des chambres (celle que l'on occupait), le restaurant. Chambre correcte, la notre était très spacieuse mais pas beaucoup de charme, le mobilier était basique, salle de bain correcte. Beaucoup d'animation, une équipe dynamique qui proposait beaucoup d'activités centrées autour d'une des 2 piscines (l'autre était plus calme). Super restaurant:divers buffets, on trouve de la nourriture pour tous les gouts
très belle vue, animations variées, restaurant super, excellente nourriture, choix divers : viandes, poissons, desserts....
plage avec des graviers et petite, hotel loin de tout. Pour les personnes à mobilité réduite hotel à déconseiller car il faut beaucoup marcher, hotel très étendu
c'est un hotel agréable mais qui pour ma part manque d'activité à l'intérieur. Il n'y a pas de salle de sport, ni de jeux pour enfants, ni discothèque, c'est dommage
accueil, chambre, face à la mer
ça manque d'activités pour les enfants ainsi que les adultes
repas super ! vue magnifique ! piscines et activités très agréables ! Seul point faible : les nombreuses marches...
repas super, cadre agréable, activités proposées très sympathiques !
le nombre de marches peut géner les personnes âgées ou avec enfant
