In true 5-star accommodation fashion, selected rooms also include a spa bath, where you can unwind after a long day of adventures. However, even if your room doesn’t include a spa bath, don’t worry as in GDM Megaron, you won’t miss the element of water. Its impressive plunge pool at the roof of the building will allow you to rest on the sunbeds and enjoy a delightful drink.
For a journey through Cretan gastronomy, the hotel offers a wide range of delicacies in each of its eateries. From the laid-back vibe of ‘Plaza Café’ to the fine-dining opulence of ‘The Megaron 5th’ Bar Restaurant on the top floor, the rich flavors will leave you full and satisfied. For your daily workouts, you can try the hotel’s Health Club, which is housed on the 4th floor of the building and is equipped with modern fitness equipment as well as a steam bath, a hot tub, a massage table, and a sauna with color and music therapy. Who can say ‘no’ to that?
