Phāea Blue Palace
Set on a lucid pebble beach, this family-run property has more authenticity than all the hotels along the Elounda coastline combined.

Phaea Blue Palace
Simple chic is the leitmotif of this boutique-styled resort situated on a steep hill with wraparound views of the storied island of Spinalonga. There are several restaurants serving locally sourced treats, and laudable sustainability initiatives include a hotel-funded staff farming project. The hotel has, however, been split from what was once a (much) larger resort, and this can be confusing
