Grecotel White Palace is a stunning five-star hotel located on the largest Greek island, Crete. Close to the pretty town of Rethymnon along the north coast, it features open-style spaces with luxurious touches. Enjoying fantastic sea views, the hotel has three saltwater pools and two infinity pools (for selected room types), so relaxation is high on the agenda here. Set on the beachfront it benefits from a Blue Flag beach right on the doorstep.  

The design is contemporary with white décor and hints of turquoise throughout making it very calm and tranquil. There are also a number of dining options with menus designed around local and international cuisine made from the freshest ingredients to cater to all tastes.

At Agreco Farm you can dine in the rustic and traditional farmhouse where you can enjoy a meal that has been freshly prepared from farm to table (transfer not included - reservations required). The outdoor seating area has the most lovely views across Crete with the rolling hills and vineyards and the Mediterranean Sea in the distance. For those cooler nights, you can sit inside the farmhouse with authentic stone walls and rustic décor oozing with Cretan charm.  

Children can even enjoy being a farmer for the day at Agreco Farm with lots of activities on offer including picking their own vegetables and baking. There is also a Kids Club onsite where they can take part in competitions and games, and even a disco so they can sing and dance all day long.
