Why it's on the list
The Candia Park Village features two outdoor freshwater swimming pools and a children's pool. Neither of the pools are heated, but the Greek sunshine ensures they are pleasant to swim in throughout the season. The Plori Pool Bar is open all day, offering drinks and light bites to be enjoyed by the pool or delivered to sunloungers. The main pool area offers majestic sea views over Mirabello Bay.
Why it's not higher
Neither of the outdoor pools are heated. The area surrounding the main pool could benefit from a 'glow up' according to one source.
