Simple yet unpredictable. Wholesome yet delectable. It is no wonder that Cretan cuisine, one of the oldest and tastiest gastronomic traditions, is nowadays celebrated all over the world. Not only for its exquisite bouquet of tastes and aromas, but also for its -amazing- health benefits.

We invite you to come and enjoy an unforgettable culinary experience which embraces the welcoming spirit of Crete- approachable, original, and hard to leave.

Whether for an invigorating morning beverage, a well-deserved break between your pool laps or a masterfully prepared afternoon cocktail, the pool bar, with its uninterrupted sea vistas, is the ideal place to relax and unwind with atmospheric music and the sea breeze to keep you-great- company.
Go swimming
Some like to swim at dawn, at this magical hour when the sun begins to ascend into the blue sky. Some like to wait until the midday heat warms up their skin (and the water!), and others prefer to have a dip at nightfall, while gazing at the sunlight dwindling down. With its 52m of clean, organized sandy beach with umbrellas and sunbeds and its two swimming pools - one large for adults and a smaller and shallower one specifically for children - our beachfront hotel ensures that all tastes are met and satisfied. There is also the pool bar where you can grab a refreshing drink during the hottest hours of the day.
