Hotel Minos Village (Agia Marina, Greece)

Minos Village benefits tremendously from its placement near the sea. Gorgeous views of the water and the breeze of the sea are a constant presence, and you'll be tempted to spend all day near the shores or using the variety of hiking paths that line the coastal sprawl.

The designs within Minos Village are beautiful and highly personalised, relying on bold colours and a wonderful assortment of furniture to provide an otherworldly setting for your vacation. The rooms are open enough to allow mobility yet full of enough amenities to give you all of the conveniences of home.

The shuttles provided with Minos Village are an excellent way to get around the region if you're not keen on renting a car or a bicycle for a day or two of travel, providing access to distant towns on specific days of the week for no added fees.

The breakfast service at Minos Village doesn't rely on extensive Greek cuisine, but rather uses very safe and traditional foods for its lineup. You can skip paying the surcharge for this meal and go directly to some of the cafes within Agia Marina.

While Minos Village bills itself as being almost entirely self-accommodating, there are still maid visits every other day, which could feel intrusive if you're not expecting them to arrive. While the maids are thorough and helpful, it's not always needed.

The kitchenette units at Minos Village are generally well-designed, but they do lack some of the utensils needed to prepare more complex dishes that require specialised tools and specific cooking implements.
