Location
Fodele Beach Water Park Resort boasts a prime and scenic location on the side of a hill overlooking the beautiful Fodele Bay, offering breathtaking views of the sea. The private beach is accessible and perfect for families with its great water park and pool choices. The hotel is isolated and requires lots of climbing of hills, steep climbs and steps, making it a perfect place for a tranquil holiday away from the city noise. However, it's relatively close to the airport with a shuttle service available. The location is a bit far from the main road, making access limited without a car. There are bus stops near the hotel that run every half an hour according to the schedule to Heraklion and Rethymno. The hotel's position in a cove with a private beach is ideal for those who appreciate privacy and stunning views. Nevertheless, the place is beyond reach from everywhere else and exploring the area requires a rental car. Overall, Fodele beach resort is an excellent place for a peaceful holiday near the sea.
