Ikos Kissamos: A Family Week in Crete

Spend May half term at Ikos Kissamos, a luxury All Inclusive family resort on Crete’s north-west coast. With a private garden suite, direct flights from Dublin and private airport transfers included, this week is built around easy beach days, children’s activities, excellent dining and time to explore the coastline around Kissamos.

Highlights

Stay at Ikos Kissamos, the first Ikos resort in Crete, set near the former fishing village of Kissamos on the island’s north-west coast.
Enjoy a Junior Suite with Private Garden, giving the family outdoor space beside the room for quieter mornings or time together after the pool.
Make meals part of the holiday with six à la carte restaurants, the Market restaurant and relaxed bars looking towards the Cretan Sea.
Children can enjoy the Ikos Kids Club, sensory gardens and play spaces, while adults have time for the beach, pool, dining and quieter corners of the resort.
Use the week to see more of western Crete, from Kissamos’ harbour and local tavernas to the coastal scenery around Balos Beach.

Ikos Kissamos in Crete

Ikos Kissamos brings the Ikos All Inclusive style to Crete’s north-west coast, close to a former fishing village known for wine, olive oil and boat trips along the coastline. The setting suits families who want a polished resort stay without feeling cut off from the island. Spend your days between the beach, pools and gardens, then head towards Kissamos harbour for a look at the quieter side of Crete.

A private garden suite for the family

The Junior Suite with Private Garden gives the family more room than a standard hotel room, with an open-plan layout and a garden area outside. That extra outdoor space is worth having with children, whether it is used for a slower start before breakfast, time out after swimming or a drink in the evening once the day settles down.

Dining that works for adults and children

Meals are a major part of the Ikos experience, with six à la carte restaurants and the Market restaurant giving the week more variety than a usual All Inclusive stay. Parents can plan proper dinners, while children still have easy choices and familiar options when they need them. Advance dining reservations are available, which is worth using before travel for the key evenings.

Beach days and western Crete

The resort gives families plenty to do without leaving, from children’s activities and play spaces to the beach, pools and open-air bars. When you do want to explore, Kissamos is a natural starting point for western Crete. Look up Balos Beach for its pale sand and lagoon-style water, or plan a simple harbour visit for lunch and a walk by the sea.
