From the balcony or terrace of Creta Blue’s elegantly designed units, guests can enjoy garden, pool or sea views. Suites and rooms also feature air conditioning, LED TVs with media players and comfortable beds.

We had an incredible time at the Crete Blue boutique hotel during our three-night stay with our 1.9-year-old son! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the amazing place and the incredibly friendly staff. George personally welcomed us with open arms, and the entire team was always ready to help us with a smile. The hotel itself is absolutely gorgeous, and the food at the on-site restaurant was beyond delicious – seriously, the best we had during our entire vacation in Crete! If you're thinking about visiting Crete, we highly recommend staying at the Crete Blue boutique hotel. The hospitality was outstanding, and we felt right at home, especially with our young child. We were truly impressed, and we would love to come back again in the future!
