The story
The design borrows directly from the Cretan village: arched openings (kamares), worked stone (lithos, petra), the domed tholos. According to the hotel, the whole property was renovated for 2024, with brand-new rooms and facilities laid out around a tended garden in Korakia. Room categories carry those same names — Kamares, Loft, Oikos, Lithos, Tholos, Petra, Nemea, Dione — and several come with private pools.
Rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms and either sea or garden views. Elia Restaurant serves Mediterranean buffet cuisine; breakfast is continental, with local specialities, warm dishes and fresh pastries. The spa and wellness centre runs treatments, a fitness room and yoga classes, and a recently added wing brought a third pool. The garden also hosts an open-air cinema.
The beach at Limenas Hersonissou sits about 730 m away, roughly an eight-minute walk, with the centre of Hersonissos 400 m off and Aquaworld Aquarium at 500 m. Heraklion airport is 19–23 km (12–14 mi); a shuttle runs and private parking is free. A calm setting close to town and sand.
