Slick Crete escape with Art Deco style

• Get out and explore: Georgioupolis’ setting on Crete’s northern coast can’t be bettered if you’re looking to explore the island. The scenic Greek National Road 90 that links the west and east of the island runs just south of the town, so you can zoom up to Chania or east to Agios Nikolaus with ease. Zorbas Lifestyle Hotel is close to the centre of town, walkable to all the bars and restaurants and just 50 metres from the beach.

• Newly revamped: The hotel’s been given a facelift and incorporates the laidback whitewashed style for which the Greek Islands are famous with contemporary design and Art Deco influences. Rooms are elegantly furnished and spacious with all the mod cons needed for a restful stay – some have the option of a Jacuzzi on the balcony, if you really want to push the boat out.

• Flavours of Crete: You’re spoilt for choice, food wise, in Georgioupolis, with everything from fine dining to classic Cretan street food. The hotel’s own restaurant is a great choice too, with buffet breakfasts of local delicacies and lunches and dinners featuring Greek favourites. There’s also a snack bar, for when you’re craving a quick bite or a drink by the pool, and a main bar that’s open until midnight for coffees, cocktails and more.
