Fringed by the magnificent White Mountains of western Crete, GK Beach Hotel is one of the most appealing properties in the Simpson portfolio. Separated from the beach only by lush tropical gardens and a generous lawn, our beautiful hotel boasts a superb 2-bedroom family penthouse, and 23 light and airy suites, some of which can be interconnected. The idyllic scenery, beautiful rooms and delightful sea views create a relaxed pace of life at GK Beach Hotel. Start the day with a leisurely breakfast on the poolside terrace overlooking the beach where soft, deep sand is shaded by tamarind trees and slopes gently into shallow water. The well-stocked bar and beachfront taverna serve lunch and snacks until late afternoon, so guests have everything they need to relax and unwind. Ideal for families, a complementary range of activities for children aged 5 to 11 is available in the peak weeks of the summer holidays. The location is also ideal for walkers and explorers, with the historic Venetian harbor of Chania just a 25-minute drive away, while a 20-minute stroll will take you to the charming local shops and restaurants in Kalyves.  Simpson Travel’s knowledgeable concierge service can arrange anything from a special celebration to a personalised itinerary for a full day of island exploration, and day trips and excursions are available directly from the hotel. Smoking - not allowedTaverna restaurant serving hot dishes and snacks.
