Amomudar is essentially a suburb of Heraklion. The airport is about 10 km away. Opinions about the rest at this resort are very contradictory. It’s all about uneven flows that bring warm and cold tides to coastal waters. Because of this volatility, conflicts often arise with hotels that are supposedly built on the shore with a cold current. All this is not so and hotels have nothing to do with natural manifestations. On the contrary, resort complexes offer excellent conditions for living, a lot of individual services, SPA and entertainment. The rating includes the 11 best of them.
