Situated within 1.1 km of Amoudara Beach and 1.8 km of Venetian Walls in Heraklio Town, Pavo Art Hotel provides accommodation with seating area. The property has garden and inner courtyard views, and is 2 km from Heraklion Archaeological Museum. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available. Beautifully designed hotel, friendly and helpful staff. Free parking in nearby mall was a bonus. Nice restaurant (Kizuna) and cafe down the road. We stopped off here briefly on route to other parts of Crete, arriving late and leaving the next morning so didn't spend a lot of time exploring Heraklion or the local area.

Perfectly located on the Blue Flag Award winning sandy beach of Amoudara with stunning views from around the resort, Paralos Lifestyle Beach Adults Only features 5 sharing and 2 common seasonal outdoor swimming pools. Boasting a 24-hour front desk, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. Guests can make use of a garden. This property exceeded expectations. To be connected to the beach was just fabulous and so glad we booked JUST outside of Heraklion which I found to be quite underwhelming to say the least. Here you had the tranquility of being seaside. The staff are exceptional - Katerina on the front desk was so helpful as was Nikos their Porter. Katerina in the restaurant was also warm and engaging. We had low expectations for the all inclusive breakfast and dinner but there was so much variety and dinner was excellent. Yes it gets busy but there always seemed to be a table ready to go and waiting was minimal. After dinner our particular stay they had a violin player at the beach bar who had backing music to such artists as Adele, Bryan Adams etc and you could take your drink go lay on the beach beds under the stars and listen to the music as the waves crashed against the shore: it was one of the loveliest nights of my trip. She was excellent and added such beauty to modern music. The pools are fab and there are cute things such as darts, table tennis and I believe yoga classes. Loved it being adults only also - pure bliss ! I would definitely re book
