Golden Dream in Crete, what to expect

The residence that I want to propose is called Golden dream. It is located five hundred meters from the beach and almost two kilometers from a well-known village in the north of the island, that is Hersonissos. The structure is easily reachable on foot for sports enthusiasts (the walk takes about half an hour). For those who remain faithful to the means of transport, there are two options to consider: the first is the taxi, which can be called directly from the residence bar, in service day and night. The second is the bus, which clearly has a lower cost than the taxi since it has established timetables.



The Golden Dream is onlytwenty four kilometers from the airport Heraklion International. This complex is also located between three tourist villages where there is animation. So if one evening you don't want to go to party in Hersonissos you can easily go to the tourist villages to watch the entertainment shows, for free.

Traveling with girls and boys

All families even with very little children the proximity to the famous water park may be of interest "Plus water“, Only five kilometers away. The complex enjoys an exceptional panoramic view thanks to the position in which it is located. The Golden Dream is a fantastic place to spend your holidays, I lived in Crete during the summer season and I saw many people staying in this residence. They never complained about anything. The well-equipped beach offers the possibility to ride the wave: you can have fun with water sports.

Here are the sports you can practice: Jet ski (Jet Ski), windsurf, parasailing and many others!

Golden Dream Crete: the structure of the residence

Let's focus now on the residence: the Golden Dream is a real residence within which there are spacious apartments. Obviously a reception, one inground and equipped swimming pool with umbrellas and sunbeds. Finally there is a very special bar (with stuffed animals hanging from the counter, postcards of the last holidays ...), characterized by the presence of background music and a friendly and courteous staff; the staff are Greek and speak English.

The apartments

- apartments are independent from the rest of the residential complex and all have fully equipped kitchens (fridge, electric oven, cooking utensils and water heater). In addition, each apartment is equipped with air conditioning, bathroom with shower, balcony, telephone, hair dryer, safe and satellite TV. It is very convenient to go shopping in Hersonissos because there are supermarkets used by local people and you can therefore save a lot compared to the supermarket outside the Golden Dream, or the Cosmo Store. In the latter market the prices are really high, obviously they take advantage of the fact that there are no other markets in the area.


The services of the residence

At the bar there is the possibility to have lunch and dinner, with a few euros. You eat excellent quality food and enjoy excellent service in my opinion. The value for money is good, the only flaw is the waiting time; although there are not many people, dinner arrives after waiting a good half hour. The entire residential complex has an internet connection Wi-Fi, the waiting time can therefore be easily spent by sending family and friends some photos taken during the day.

Il parcheggio for guests is a lot big and free. A friend of mine came to visit me and she also stayed in one of the Golden Dream apartments and had a great time. While you are in the area, I also recommend an evening trip to the "Old Hersonissos“, The old town of Hersonissos. Here you can taste the typical tastes of Greece thanks to the numerous taverns in the area.

The taverns in Greece are restaurants specialized in the realization of typical dishes, they take care of dragging tourists into the Greek gastronomy. The most renowned restaurant is certainly the "Mezes”Which is located in the area of ​​Hersonissos called“ Piscopiano ”.
