About Aldemar Knossos Royal

Spread across 115 hectares on the tip of a peninsula that cuts into the sapphire-blue waters of the Aegean Sea, the 5-star Aldemar Knossos Royal resort offers a modern reinterpretation of an ancient Minoan palace. Here, 386 rooms and suites lie scattered over lush lawns and meticulously landscaped gardens, with modern interiors and soft décor that provide an atmosphere of serenity. The gastronomy at the resort varies from sumptuous fine dining to casual bistro- and taverna-style fare, each dish prepared with fresh local produce. Cuisines include authentic Cretan dishes, traditional Greek recipes and hearty Italian flavours, all of which can be washed down with a refreshing elixir from one of the numerous bars onsite. Along with the resort’s numerous swimming pools, guests can spend their day exploring a range of facilities and activities, from tennis, beach volleyball and water polo to water sports, diving lessons and cooking classes. There is also an excellent kids’ club with two outdoor pools, a 45-metre waterslide and mini-golf course, while the resort can also help you arrange a variety of excursions that will allow you to discover Crete’s rich history and vibrant culture.

Latest Updates

New Schengen entry requirements (planned for November 2024 onwards)

From November 2024, the new EU Entry/Exit System (EES) will start for all non-EU nationals, including British nationals, travelling in or out of the Schengen area. The Schengen area is made up of 29 European countries, 25 of which are EU Member States. The EES is a digital border system which registers non-EU visitors travelling into the Schengen area instead of stamping their passports.

You will need to have your fingerprints and your photo taken when entering the Schengen area. If you enter the Schengen area through Dover, Eurotunnel at Folkestone or St Pancras International, your fingerprints and photo will be taken before you leave the UK. You will also need to provide either your fingerprint or photo on exit.

You may experience longer queues at borders when the new system starts.

Passport, Visas and Local Taxes

Your specific passport and visa requirements, and other immigration requirements are your responsibility, and you should confirm these with the relevant Embassies and/or Consulates. We cannot accept responsibility if you cannot travel because you have not complied with any passport, visa or immigration requirements.

The Greek Government has introduced the Climate Resilience Tax, payable locally upon check-out by the customer. This tax does not form part of your holiday package as we are not able to collect this at time of booking.
