Where Crete’s western shores meet wide horizons, Chania offers a gentle introduction — historic lanes, soft beaches, and evenings shaped by light and sea air. Further east, the landscape quietens into stone and water, where a sheltered cove cradles turquoise bays and slow, sun-filled days.
This is Crete for families who want space to breathe — time to swim, explore, and reconnect beneath an endless blue sky.
10 nights in Crete, combining Chania’s cultural rhythm with a secluded Aegean retreat on the eastern coast. Includes private transfers, luxury accommodation, all-inclusive dining at Daios Cove, and thoughtfully curated experiences throughout. From €2,999 per person.
This journey reveals Crete in two complementary movements. In Chania, life unfolds through harbour walks, shallow beaches and timeworn streets where history feels present but never heavy. Days are shaped by sea swims and slow exploration, evenings by soft light over the old town.
Further east, the island settles into stillness. At Daios Cove, mornings begin with sunlight on the water and days drift easily between swimming, sailing and quiet family time. Evenings bring shared meals above the bay, the Aegean humming gently below. For those who wish to explore, the harbours of Agios Nikolaos, Elounda and the story-rich island of Spinalonga lie close at hand — offering depth without disrupting the calm.

Begin in Chania for a gentle cultural introduction before retreating east into true seclusion. The drive across the island offers a wonderful sense of scale. At Daios Cove, the all-inclusive concept feels quietly refined — à la carte dining, warm service and an effortless family rhythm. Early morning swims are especially serene, before the bay fully wakes.
