Our Property Here

The right hotel in Crete.

Vathi, Crete, Greece

Daios Cove

Mediterranean luxury with its own bay: deliberately not ultra-luxury, but very well done — and relaxed precisely because of it.

Best season May to June, September to October

Elounda, Crete

Elounda Collection

Three distinct hotels, one bay — the most coherent way to experience the Cretan sea at its finest.

Best season May to June and September to October — pleasant temperatures, no peak-season crowds, the bay almost to yourself.
