Athos Retreat

about our location

Located in the untamed mountains of Crete.

Tucked away in the heart of southern Crete, our small retreat sits on eight private acres in the Asterousia Mountains, surrounded by olive groves and vineyards.

Just a 10 minutes from beaches and 45 minutes from Heraklion Airport, the property feels wonderfully off the beaten path, offering peace, privacy, and a deep connection to nature.

A heated pool overlooks a romantic, dreamy landscape, while two nearby authentic villages provide a glimpse into traditional Cretan life.

history of the property

Recently renovated,
family owned.

Athos Retreat is owned and cared for by a local family who thoughtfully renovated the property with deep respect for the land. Every detail reflects a personal approach to hosting, offering guests a stay that feels considered, welcoming, and quietly refined.

Each suite is crafted with natural textures of wood and stone to bring a sense of calm and blend seamlessly with the natural environment.

Once an old family farm, the land has been held by the same family for generations. it has been reimagined as a peaceful hideaway that invites guests into the rhythms, culture, and everyday life of Crete, far from the feel of a conventional hotel.
