The hotel is surrounded by extensive gardens covering over 21 hectares. The landscape design reflects Crete's nature and history, incorporating characteristic plant species, olive groves, and areas for relaxation and outdoor activities. Unlike many large resorts, Ikos Kissamos emphasizes low-rise buildings and open spaces.

Menus are based on fresh, locally sourced ingredients, allowing guests to experience the authentic flavors of Crete and the Mediterranean. Selected culinary concepts have been developed in collaboration with Michelin-starred chefs.
In the evenings, visit one of the three hotel bars, which serve signature cocktails, local wines, and premium beverages. It's the perfect place to end a day of beach or sightseeing in Crete, watching the sunset over the Cretan Sea.
Ikos Kissamos boasts eight swimming pools, including family pools, children's areas, and areas for quiet relaxation. Guests can also enjoy the wide, sandy beach on the Cretan Sea, equipped with sun loungers, umbrellas, and beach service.
