About the hotel

Perched on the hillsides above the Libyan Sea, Paralos Irini Mare is a family-run retreat with more than thirty years of Cretan hospitality behind it. The recently renovated rooms and suites are spread throughout fragrant herb gardens, orchards and the shade of a two-century-old olive tree, with Agia Galini beach just below.

Facilities centre on relaxation and activity in equal measure. The outdoor pool looks out over the sea, while spa treatments and a sauna offer unhurried relaxation. Guests looking to stay active will find a well-equipped gym and tennis courts on site. The restaurant draws on seasonal Cretan produce and the hotel’s own olive oil, pressed from groves near the Minoan palace of Phaistos.

Beyond the property, Agia Galini’s waterfront and the gorge walks of south Crete are on the doorstep. The Minoan palace of Phaistos, Preveli beach and the Samaria Gorge are all within reach, making this a natural base for exploring one of the less-toured sides of the island.
