At every tourism exhibition abroad, even though Crete is one of the most famous destinations on the planet, people ask themselves something that may sound cliché, but is perfectly reasonable and respectful: “Why should I visit Crete? Why is Crete a destination I should visit in my life?”
Although the answer is “for thousands of reasons”, four main pillars are the most important: Unparalleled nature, rich culture and civilization, authentic gastronomy and nutrition and, of course, the unique Cretan hospitality.
With a genuine love for Cretan culture and non-negotiable commitment to Cretan ideals, the birth and operation of our hotel is based entirely on the above pillars, in order to give generously to our guests a highly authentic Cretan experience.
Unparalleled Nature
Set in a magnificent nature where the mountains and the wonderful beaches are just a few minutes away, our hotel is a representative example of the raw beauty of Cretan nature. Beautiful olive groves, unique lemon forests, picturesque farmhouses and vast stretches of orange trees, amidst serene rivers, wild gorges and fertile plains, make up the unique relief of the nature of Crete.
Culture and civilisation
The culture and values are the ones that raised us, the values that created the first organized Western Civilization, the Minoan. Today, Crete, because of its location and history, is a blend of cultures, all of which have left their wonderful mark, from the Romans and the Byzantines, to the Turks and the Saracens, to the Venetians. This multiculturalism is also reflected in the character of our hotel.
Authentic gastronomy and nutrition
Gastronomic wanderings are a must during your stay in Crete. Taste Cretan salads, with local vegetables from independent small farmers, unique rusks, rich honey, seasonal fruits and delicious olives. Discover special cheeses, wine and raki, and enjoy traditional sweets. These and many more delicacies are available both at our hotel, and in authentic restaurants and taverns, as well as at the famous Cretan festivals. Cretan gastronomy and the Mediterranean Diet are integral parts of our hotel.
Unique Cretan hospitality
Whenever we visit a foreign country, the first thing on our minds is how to live like the locals. How will we feel their culture, how will we manage to become one with them and feel, even if only for a short while, their culture and habits? Our hotel was created with the aim of helping guests to truly understand the philosophy of our place, to be engraved in their memory and become part of their hearts.
