Half‑Board Dining Flexibility
Our Half Board supplement now gives you two delicious ways to spend your evening:

- NEW Dine‑Around Menu – Swap the buffet for a three‑course dinner (appetiser, main course, dessert) at any of our three award‑winning à‑la‑carte restaurants: Elemes Cretan Cuisine, Bony Fish Restaurant, or WOW Steak House.
