Our full take on TUI BLUE Atlantica Crete

A friendly seaside all-inclusive on Crete's north coast, multiple pools and waterslides for the kids, a PADI dive center for the divers, and Greek cooking workshops for everyone else. Four-star and family-priced, it's an easy, good-value Greek-island week. Best May through September.
