As for the views, take your pick: garden, sea, or mountain. Whichever you choose, you’re in for a picture-perfect wake-up call.

The outdoor pool, shaded by ancient olive trees, is ideal for a refreshing dip after a day of exploring. Or, if relaxation is your goal, stretch out on a lounger with a good book or just bask in the hot sun – either way, you’ll be soaking up those blissful Cretan vibes.
