Fifty years of Cretan hospitality, one unforgettable Chag

Set on the sunlit north coast of Crete, Aquila Rithymna Beach fronts an azure 500 m Blue-Flag beach. For over half a century it has welcomed generations of families. For Pesach 2027, Olam Holidays privatizes and kosherizes the resort entirely — so you savour five-star comfort with the peace of a fully Glatt Kosher stay.
