GRECOTEL MELI PALACE 4*

Meli Palace is the ideal place to relax in eastern Crete, offering an idyllic retreat for both families and couples. The ancient beach is within walking distance of the ancient palace of Malia, the third largest Minoan palace, which is considered the most “provincial” from an architectural point of view.
Luxurious buffet breakfasts, hearty lunches and dinners with live cooking demonstrations, midnight snacks, cocktails, and soft drinks are all included in the package!
Cozy rooms on an island where you can relax away from the hustle and bustle of the city. A carefully considered selection of family rooms with a good price-quality ratio.
A resort designed especially for young or large families. A relaxed atmosphere, Grecoland services, and outdoor adventures.
The beauty of a natural sandy beach that the whole family can enjoy freely.
Grecotel Meli Palace is ideally located on a picturesque beach, 2 km from the village of Sissi and 5 km from the famous ancient Minoan palace of Malia. Just 40 km from Heraklion Airport and 45 km from the port of Heraklion.
