Enjoy your own piece of paradise in a delightful corner of Crete, on the Akrotiri Peninsula of Hania with its scented wild herbs and the age-old olive trees. Flanked by the Bay of Hania and Souda Bay and just 8.1 miles from the picturesque town of Hania, you have many opportunities for plenty of trips and activities. Enjoy the space and independence of your own air conditioned apartment, where you can admire the views from your private veranda and relax in comfort. Lie back in the Greeksun beside the outdoor swimming pool amidst the mountains and distant views. You can rent a car from the hotel and drive to the port of Souda. You can also visit the rugged hills of Madams, the location for the film Zorba the Greek.

Crete. As well as the magnificent beaches and warm seas, the size and physical variety of the island of Crete invites exploration, and Paradisio, located at Main Street, Chania Region, 73100, Greece, is the ideal staring point. Uniquely among Greek islands, Crete’s mountainous spine creates a sense of spaciousness, a life distinct from sea and sand. Fly-drive holidays to Crete – or simply the hire of a car for some days during your stay in Paradisio, – will enable you to seek out the rugged formations of the interior, the fertile countryside and tiny chapels filled with frescoes, the mountain villages where time has stood still. Always, the authentic spirit of the islanders, their fierce independence and pride – as well as the best cooking and most delicious meals that constitute the famed “Cretan Diet” – will more likely be found where few others are looking. With so much to see, with dolphins to watch, shaded squares to paint, olive trees and wild orchids, Minoan remains and sweeping beaches, no wonder Crete holidays and Paradisio are revisited so often.
