casaDoria - slowlife hotel & restaurant

Small slow-life hotel with restaurant in Loutra, close to Lentas, for nature and perfect relax. Wild lonely beaches at 1 min. walk. Italian and Greek food. Rediscover the luxury of time.

CasaDoria Slowlife’s building consists of a main two-floors building with ten rooms, a restaurant with a large terrace where it’s lovely to take rest since it offers a marvellous panorama facing the Lybic Sea.
Loutro

A tiny village, accessible only by boat, with plenty of inexpensive but comfortable accomodation along the waterfront and just as many pretty restaurants overlooking the sea. Don't go there for the nightlife - everyone is in bed by 10pm - but for a beautiful location and a relaxing, stress-free few days you can't beat it.
Manos Appartments in Elounda

In a perfect location opposite Elounda beach & a very short walk to the bars, restaurants & harbour; is the well run & spotlessly clean Manos Apartments.

Rooms are nice & quiet, the pool area is a sun trap and the bar offers light meals and snacks; as well as great cocktails.

I'd happily recommend this for a relaxing break in a nice quiet resort. Good for families too.
PARADICE HOTEL

Luxury suites at very economical prices for your summer vacations , Paradice Hotel is a 4 star hotel set in the perfect setting for those who want to relax and enjoy their holidays. We are in the village of Stavros in the Akrotiri Peninsula, where the famous Zorbas The Greek was filmed with Anthony Quinn, Here we combine the perfect relaxation,the view, the hospitality all for you.
Plakias

A lovely friendly town on the South coast of Crete. Definitely worth a visit if only for the moussaka on offer along the promenade. Fantastic people, great food and beautiful scenery. Plakias is one of the unspoilt gems of Crete.
