Hotel Description:

The Athina Palace Hotel is a modern hotel built in 1996. It is a perfect place for vacations where modern architecture is combined in harmony with the local natural environment. Its location, right in the middle of Crete, makes it ideal for those who want to visit other parts of the island. The luxurious holiday resort is 15 km from Heraklion city and 17 km from Heraklion airport and is situated in a hilly area next to the small but smart beach of ‘Made’ in Ligaria.
