Short breaks
Relax by the Aegean Sea on a Bohemian break at The Syntopia, Crete
Sitting at the southern edge of the Aegean Sea, Crete is Greece's biggest island and its spectacular beaches are matched only by its extraordinary history.
Just minutes away from the pretty harbour town of Rethymnon you'll find the bohemian resort of Syntopia, with a golden beach just steps away. Rethymnon's Old Town is right on the doorstep. Here, you can enjoy the medieval and Venetian architecture, have lunch in a traditional taverna and wander cobbled alleyways lined with boutiques.
Look forward to two relaxing yoga classes, either in the beachside tipi or at the Beach Bar, guided by an expert yogi. Also included is a wonderful wine tasting at a local vineyard. The sun-kissed hills of Crete produces some of Greece's best wines, and you'll get to sample five different varieties, along with traditional Cretan rusks and olives from the local groves.
The highlight of your stay is sure to be a relaxing spa visit. Let your cares melt away as you luxuriate in the hot tub, sauna and ultra zen relaxation area. Allow yourself to be pampered with a full-body Cretan Massage using local olive oil and orange extracts.
You'll be staying in a superior sea view room, with a waterfall shower and a furnished veranda with views over the Aegean Sea.
All your food and drink will be included during your stay, including appetising street food style snacks. Curl up on a sun lounger with a good book and a cocktail and, when you've worked up an appetite, head to the restaurant for a mouthwatering buffet.
