Holidays In Greece: Top Five Things To Do On Your Holiday At Aquis Beach Resorts
There is no better way to enjoy Greece than a stay at Aquis Beach Resorts. Situated in the gorgeous town of Crete are the Aquis Bella Beach and Aquis Zorbas Village resorts, built on locations surrounding the Cretan Sea. Enjoy lazy days by the pool and all inclusive dining from a selection of world cuisines, as well as activities such as mini-golf. For couples looking to recharge their batteries, or even just get away from the kids for a while, a trip to the north-east island of Corfu for a stay at the adults-only Aquis Agios Gordios will provide just that.
Beyond the confines of these resorts though, lie an area of Greece steeped in history and culture ready to be explored. Here are the top five things you MUST do on your trip:
Walk through Samaria George National Park
This rigorous 16km trek starts at the plateau of Omalos and goes all the way down to a village called Agia Roumeli. It’s all worth it though, as you take in some of Greece’s best views along the way.
Watch the stars at Sasteria Planetarium
This public astronomy observatory is located high in the mountains in Agios Stefanos near Makrigialos in south-east Crete. Spend the night gazing into the stars, as expert astrologists guide you through a journey through the solar system.
Play The Bouzoki
Thought to have originated in Asia, the Bouzoki gained popularity in mainland Greece after the exchange of Greek and Turkish populations in the 1920s. The Bouzoki has always been popular in Crete though, so don’t be surprised to find one at every turn!
Take in the local wildlife at Aquaworld Aquarium,Hersonissos
With one of the best selections of local sea-life and and other worldly creatures in the whole of Greece, you have to visit Aquaworld. And after your first visit, you will receive a membership pass so you can go again and again!
Take a stroll on the Red Sand Beach, Matala
The unique copper-red colour of the sand, coupled with the ocean blue sea, black beach stone and white cliff bays create a visually stunning landscape.
One thing is for sure though;; After a stay at any of the Aquis Beach Resorts in this beautiful country, you will have made a promise to yourself to return.
