Knossos Royal Conference Centre
On the infinite island of Crete, things come at a different scale. So does the Conference Center of Knossos Royal, which by far surpasses the usual dimensions. Everything here is large: spaces, possibilities, experience and success of every public event hosted.
The center contains two large halls, tastefully decorated and equipped with state-of-the-art visual, sound and simultaneous translation systems. These halls can host over 900 people and fully cover the needs of large conferences. Moreover, with the use of special soundproof screens, they can turn into eleven smaller, functional spaces, which, combined with the reception - enrollment area and welcoming lobby, correspond even to the strictest meeting requirements.
Given the unique flexibility of the available spaces, the Knossos Royal Conference Center can host any event – congresses, conferences, seminars, corporate presentations, incentives and business meetings – and guarantee its absolute success thanks to the hotel’s beautiful public spaces; the suites and luxurious rooms; the rare amenities provided; the famous Cretan cuisine; and a great tradition in organizing successful receptions, galas, cocktails and all kinds of social events.
