Amirandes Hotel

If the Minoans had kept on building palaces over the past twenty-five hundred years, they might well have come up with something like this. Water, air, and light are integrated together in a way the feels like Minos or Radamanthys would feel right at home.

You're never far from the water here, with decorative reflecting pools and swimming areas tying together the hotel buildings. And of course, the entire Aegean Sea just steps away.

Long before you arrive on Crete, you may be hooked by the combination of Cretan music, Minoan animation, and rich photos of the hotel. Even the hotel logo is based on a Cretan embroidery design depicting the Tree of Life.

The prices are not inexpensive but are a good value for the quality of the hotel. Definitely an indulgence!

This competitive list has recognized only a few Greek hotels.

Once again, the Minoan theme pulses into the spa, where natural local plants and other ingredients are used in various therapies. Cretan-grown herbs are said to be the most powerful in the world, naturally producing more of the volatile essential oils that give them their healing properties.

The Amirandes Hotel presently offers frequent-flyer miles for the Lufthansa and Delta airline reward programs. These offerings may change, so confirm when you go.

This Greek-owned firm operates a number of fine hotels throughout Greece.

The Hotel Amirandes has an arrangement with Minoan Ferry Lines - in which case you will be taking a Palace to visit a Palace as Minoan Lines offers two luxurious ships on the Athens-Heraklion route - the Phaistos Palace and the Knossos Palace.
