Where the island’s rugged hills tumble into the Aegean, a quiet cove shelters turquoise waters and sun-warmed stone. This is the gentler side of Crete — a place for families to slow down, swim, and reconnect beneath an endless blue sky.
7 nights on Crete’s eastern coast at Daios Cove, an all-inclusive retreat where family time unfolds on the Aegean. Includes private transfers, luxury accommodation, all-inclusive dining and curated experiences throughout.
In a hidden cove on Crete’s eastern coast, days drift easily between sea and sky. Mornings begin with sunlight over the water, a slow breakfast, and the promise of another unhurried day. Perhaps a swim in the calm bay, a sail along the coast, or an afternoon spent reading in the shade while children play at the water’s edge.
This is Crete at its most peaceful — a landscape of stone and sea where the pace softens and the senses reawaken. Evenings bring shared meals, soft light over the cliffs, and the quiet hum of the Aegean below. For those who wish to explore, the island’s charm lies close at hand — the harbours of Agios Nikolaos, the calm waters of Elounda, and the story of Spinalonga rising from the sea.
