New hotels — January 2019 3 stays

Domes Zeen Chania is a village of low stone buildings among banana and palm trees on a private Cretan beach, where every room slides open to its own terrace.

Monastery Estate Retreat is a converted monastery estate in the mountains above Sougia, in southwest Crete: eleven rooms, most with their own private pool, facing the White Mountains and olive terraces.

The Syntopia is an adults-only hotel in Adelianos Kampos, reworked in 2019 across two buildings, with a rooftop pool and a garden of sun terraces a short walk from a sandy Cretan beach.
