Kato Zakros and its charming bay, at the Eastern part of Crete and at one of the most remote borders of the European Union is really a place to visit at any costs.

The lucky visitor driving down the road experiences unique sensations at the sight of the eternally serene rocks which, at the end of the journey, give place to a surprising luxurious vegetation and a crystalline welcoming sea.

It was in this bosom of the Mediterranean Sea that the Minoans chose to build a palace, a marvelous resort to the glory of their king Minos.

It is at this sublime place that we also decided to have our rooms and apartments built.

In our «ATHENA» rooms in traditional Cretan style, hospitality is our priority. They lie just above the break of the waves not even five meters from the golden beach.

From our verandas with their unique view, sitting on the couch hammocks you can relax scanning the deep blue sea and dreaming. You can feel the warmth of the rising sun in the morning and the sweetness of the starry night when the magic of the moment keeps you away from sleep.

Under the full moon of August you may experience the miracle of the eternal Minoan amphora emerging from the calm sea.

Apart from scrupulous cleanness, every one of our studios is equipped with air-conditioning and a small fridge provided with local fresh drinks for you. We also offer you famous Cretan raki and wine from our own vineyard.
