Detailed Hotel Description
The hotel has 346 rooms all housed in building complexes.
The infinite territory of Minos, favoured by light and waves, travels through time surrounded by proud mountains, deep canyons, enchanting gardens and amazing vestiges of ancient cultures. There, in this land that stands proud like a castle and hospitable like an embrace, awaits a splendid palace of family vacation: Knossos Royal Village.
Resting on a bright aquatic mirror that reflects the cool shining of the gardens and the earthly colours of buildings, it reminds of a three-dimensional Minoan painting that leans towards the horizon, full of light, inspiration and brush strokes of euphoria. Here, time goes by without haste, filled with emotions and moments of insouciance and enjoyment. Here clocks are out of place everywhere: in the elegant, comfortable and cool rooms with the amazing view of the light blue sandy beach, the transparent swimming-pools, the perfect athletic facilities, the atmospheric bar and in the infamous restaurants. Here, in the daily gourmet ceremonies, time goes by slowly and hedonically with small bites of exceptional taste - Mediterranean, Italian and genuinely Greek.
Knossos Royal Village, the shelter you always sought, warmly awaits your arrival.
At the peninsula where Knossos Royal Village stands, affluence, taste and variety transform your dining table into an enormous taste palette. You can put together a beautiful meal or you may just as well create the perfect setting for a meal with the details and finishing touches of your liking.
With its attractively designed buffets, the Main Restaurant resourcefully mingles select tastes and recipes from all over the world, while children, in their own dining area, savor Aldy's delicacies. At mid day, set sail for the marinated, crispy dishes and tasty home-made recipes at the seaside restaurant. When evening comes, the cuisine at Artemis Taverna slips into its traditional attire and presents a fresh the values of Greek gourmet. Like the score of a miniature marine symphony performed at Fontana Amorosa, clams in basil sauce, fresh juicy fish and Cretan aromatic essences blend perfectly together in original recipes.
Amidst thematic evenings full of surprises and irresistibly attractive, mouth-watering morning meals bathed in light and set against a background of the blue of the sea...holidays take on a merry, summer tempo. Just let your appetite show...and we will put into every single bite our extensive know-how, total commitment, individual attention and inspiration.
