Out Of The Blue Resort & Spa

Overview

Out Of The Blue Resort & Spa is a resort so huge, it's practically a village sat on its own private beach area with 10/10 sea views left, right and center. It's also five stars, and we can see why! For starters, it's got 4 restaurants and 6 bars, a BBQ restaurant, Italian, traditional Greek, or if you fancy a plate full of everything, that's what the buffet restaurants are for! There's also plenty to do for the kids, including Minoan Amusement Park, like a history lesson but with a swimming pool involved.
