Semiramis Hotel, Hersonissos

Located in an elevated position with spectacular panoramic views over the sea and the mountains, the Hotel Semiramis offers a great value base from which to explore all that this section of the Cretian coast has to offer. This includes amazing scenery and some of the most exciting resorts on the island. Though within a short walking distance, buses from the stop just 200 metres from the hotel will whisk you in no time into the centre of the cosmopolitan town of Hersonissos with its wide choice of shops, bars and nightspots and, a little further along the coast, is the well known party mecca of Malia. Within easy reach of the hotel are a number of pretty sand and shale beaches where a wide variety of watersports are on offer. The centre point of the hotel is its great pool and expansive sun terrace - the ideal place to stretch out on loungers under the sun and recharge batteries after an energetic night out. For a break from sunbathing, go indoors for a sport of billiards, darts or table tennis. More energetic guests may also be enticed into the gym for a touch of toning up. Rooms are elegant, comfortable and clean and guests are served a welcome breakfast buffet in the hotel restaurant each day. Dinner is traditional Greek and Mediterranean fare, and refreshing drinks are also available from the bar to keep you comfortable on chill-out days spent pool side.
