The Lyda Beach Hotel is situated directly on the seafront of the Crete’ resort of Gouves. The hotel has a warm, friendly atmosphere and is an ideal low cost option for couples and families looking for relaxing beach holiday in Greece. There are two sandy beaches directly outside the Lyda Beach Hotel as well as a large swimming pool and a children’s poolin the complex itself. Both beaches are ideal for families but the longer beach is more suitable for families with younger children.

Crete. As well as the magnificent beaches and warm seas, the size and physical variety of the island of Crete invites exploration, and Lyda Beach, located at Gouves, Heraklio, 70014, Greece, is the ideal staring point. Uniquely among Greek islands, Crete’s mountainous spine creates a sense of spaciousness, a life distinct from sea and sand. Fly-drive holidays to Crete – or simply the hire of a car for some days during your stay in Lyda Beach, – will enable you to seek out the rugged formations of the interior, the fertile countryside and tiny chapels filled with frescoes, the mountain villages where time has stood still. Always, the authentic spirit of the islanders, their fierce independence and pride – as well as the best cooking and most delicious meals that constitute the famed “Cretan Diet” – will more likely be found where few others are looking. With so much to see, with dolphins to watch, shaded squares to paint, olive trees and wild orchids, Minoan remains and sweeping beaches, no wonder Crete holidays and Lyda Beach are revisited so often.
