Elounda Mare Relais & Châteaux Hotel, Crete
More photosExpert reviews
“At this low-key, intimate, and idyllic retreat—one of Europe’s truly great getaways—swanky bungalows and other handsome guest quarters are tucked into verdant seaside gardens. All are furnished elegantly in traditional Cretan style, and expansive views extend over the Gulf of Elounda. A sandy beach and all sorts of shady seaside nooks are among many, many amenities.”
“A series of bungalows scattered across the hilly cove overlooking Mirabello Bay in northern Crete, Elounda Mare feels like the perfect manicured Greek village – there’s a small chapel, a few beautifully set restaurants and stunning views.”

Kalimera Archanes Village, Crete
Fodors“An especially appealing base for exploring Knossos and Heraklion is the well-kept wine village of Archanes, where three 19th-century stone houses tucked into a garden are fitted out with traditional furnishings and all the modern comforts. The two-story houses have one to three bedrooms, kitchens, fireplaces, and lots of beams and woodwork as well as appealing outdoor spaces.”
