Overview

 
Tucked in a peaceful corner of Hersonissos yet only a short stroll from the sea, Saradari Apartments is a small and welcoming base for laid-back Crete holidays. With just 18 apartments spread across low-rise blocks amid pretty gardens, it feels more like a friendly hideaway than a large resort. Expect a relaxed pool scene, simple self-catering comforts and easy access to the beach and resort centre.

Whitewashed buildings, colourful bougainvillea and a compact pool framed by loungers set the scene at Saradari Apartments. This is the kind of place where days drift by between the beach, the pool bar and your balcony, with Hersonissos’ buzz an easy walk away when you want it. For couples and families seeking Crete (Heraklion Area)’s charm without the crowds, Saradari Apartments delivers the perfect balance. It’s around 1 hour from the airport. See more Greece holidays.

Hersonissos is one of Crete’s best-known north-coast resorts, mixing traditional Greek touches with modern fun – from waterparks and boat trips to beachfront nightlife. It’s a great base if you want beach days, nights out and plenty of day-trip options, including ancient Knossos.
