Stays, thoughtfully prepared
STAYS is a handpicked collection of private homes in South Crete – curated not only for their comfort and setting, but for the experience that surrounds them.
We offer more than accommodation. Each stay is supported by a local team who knows the region intimately – from hidden beaches and mountain tavernas to the best time of day to visit the gorge.
Our homes are made for those who value space, light, and an unhurried rhythm – close to nature, village life, and the Libyan Sea.
But what truly defines a STAYS experience is what happens beyond the house.
• Airport transfers in high-quality vehicles at fair local rates
• Personal meet & greet on arrival
• Guest booklets with tailored recommendations based on your interests
• Private chefs, boat trips, stargazing nights, guided hikes, and cultural experiences
• Restaurant reservations and insider access
• 24/7 guest support when needed – complete privacy when not
Everything is prepared with care, so you can arrive knowing that the details are already taken care of.
This is Crete, thoughtfully arranged.
