Guests can soak up the sun on loungers by the pool or in the quiet garden with fruit trees. Alternatively, they can relax in the privacy of their own terrace and enjoy far-reaching sea views. The Terpsichori is just 50 meters from the bus stop with services running every 15 minuteshania. Many restaurants, shops and a car rental are located 200 meters away.

Crete. As well as the magnificent beaches and warm seas, the size and physical variety of the island of Crete invites exploration, and Terpsichori, located at Kalamaki, 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 Terpsichori, – 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 Terpsichori are revisited so often.
