Property info

If you are just looking for any hotel in Crete, then you are going to have to deal with a whole lot of choices, good and bad. But if you are looking for a beautiful, quiet, authentic and hospitable family hotel in Crete, combining comfortable and quality accommodation with a fascinating journey in Cretan tradition, history and nature, then the decision becomes much easier. It is not by chance that over 90% of our guests say that they would choose Alianthos Garden Hotel for their holidays again. And it is not by chance that over 30% of them do so, for many consecutive years. This is our reward, our gift. Alianthos Garden Hotel is located in the peaceful and beautiful Plakias, in Southern Crete, in front of the immense and mystical Libyan Sea. Everything here is made for holidays, even the “architecture” of the natural scenery. It is like God has specifically designed this place for the clearing of the mind and the relaxation of the soul. But it is not just its location in the heart of Plakias that makes Alianthos Garden Hotel one of the most beautiful hotels in Crete. Above all, it is the kindness, the hospitality and the open heart of our people.

Neighborhood info

Horse riding,Scuba diving,Cycling,Boating and fishing, Water sports and Climbing. Plakias Beaches:The Blue Flag awarded beach of Plakias is one of the most famous and at the same time one of the longest beaches in Crete (1.3 km length). Every year thousands of visitors enjoy its turquoise, crystal-clear, cool waters and sandy coastline. It is a well-organized beach with many comforts (sunbeds, umbrellas), while, at the same time, it is perfect for scuba diving activities (scuba diving tours, scuba diving lessons), windsurfing and much more. The road along the beach is ideal for walking or cycling. Every September, the famous alianthos flower spreads a beautiful white “blanket” all over the beach. The eastern part of the beach is called Paligremnos. It is actually a group of huge vertical cliffs that rise to a great height above the sea. These cliffs are suitable for climbing. As such, they attract many enthusiasts of the sport, from all over Crete, not only in the summer. Natural attractions in South Crete: Based in Plakias you can visit places of unparalleled natural beauty. Do not waste any time. Start putting together a trip schedule.
