WHAT WE LOVE...

This adult only hotel located bang in the middle of pretty coastal town 'Agios Nikolaos' is perfect for friends, couples or solo travellers who want the bustling local Cretan life on their doorstep, the sparkling blue sea to swim in and a luxurious place to call home to relax and reset. Suites are slick and clean lined with comfort in mind. Sit in the harbour and enjoy the tranquil setting over a Greek coffee, cocktail or local meal, or go down the winding streets and pick up some souvenirs. If you want to travel further there is a zoo, a womens cooperative to make and buy local delicacies, olive oil tours as well as the charming village of Kritsa to explore.

Service & Facilities

The 35 meter long pool with an abundance of sunloungers is ideal for lengths and looking out to sweeping panoramic sea views.
