Caldera Palace

The sun came out and we were able to fully appreciate the hotel and it's surroundings. We discovered a local bar just across the road from the hotel that played the football - much to Andy's delight! We walked up along the coast and found the area was lovely, just what we wanted as we didn't want the Malia setting. Don't get us wrong, we love a good night out, just glad we weren't staying there throughout our whole holiday. The hotel's beach was good, the hotel obviously looked after it as the adjoining beaches weren't so attractive. The sea was beautiful, but you had to be careful when entering as there were sharp rocks. We did most of our swimming by our room. The pool water was pretty cold at first and took some brave attempts to get in! Once you were in though, it was lovely. We were pretty lucky with our room as the sun came over to our side at about midday and stayed until sunset, the guests on the other side lost the sun at midday. We bought a bat and ball, an underwater camera and some goggles, as we are big kids and like to have a bit of fun!
