Aquis Silva Beach in Hersonissos, Crete, Greek Islands

Aquis Silva Beach details

With two pools and a beachside location, the Hotel Aquis Silva Beach is great if you’re looking to recharge.

The Hotel Aquis Beach Silva looks out over the sea in Hersonissos, just a five-minute walk from the town’s main strip. A stroll through the grounds brings you to a small, sandy beach and sunbathing rocks where you can relax by the waves.

The rooms here are arranged in annexes in the gardens, which imitate a Cretan village with stone walls and squares. There are two swimming pools to choose from, too – one hosting activities like water polo and aqua aerobics and another that’s quieter.

At mealtimes, you’ve got a buffet restaurant, which lays on three meals a day. Expect spreads including eggs and bacon at breakfast and soups, pastas, Greek dishes and freshly baked breads for lunch and dinner. Alternatively, you can pay a bit extra to eat at the beachfront à la carte, which offers specials like lobster and flambés. Regular entertainment rounds things off, with live music and comedy shows part of the action.
