Ammos Boutique Hotel, maybe the best kid-friendly hotel in Crete.

Every year, the owner, Nikos Tsepetis, adds more designer – or as they put it “museum grade” – chairs (yes, every year they add a few new ones) and contemporary art to the all-white sunny living/dining room, more kid-friendly treats to the extravagant breakfast spread, more toys to the playroom and heated pool.

After upgrading the rooms, this year he’s redesigned the lobby in undulating white marble.

The jackpot: four hours of free childcare from Monday to Friday, leaving parents free to loll on the sandy beach below or have a massage.
