A cluster of terracotta suites under brilliantly blue Cretan skies.
Paralos Venus Suites is the sort of place where blissful days are spent outdoors, with the scent of wild herbs on the breeze and afternoons unfolding beside salt-kissed pools edged with fragrant flowers. Just 25 minutes from Heraklion, yet a world apart, this adults-only boutique hotel purrs with quiet efficiency. Dining here is a highlight — and come September, when the air cools slightly, the pace softens to the rhythm of long lunches, dusky cocktails, and slow, golden evenings by the sea.
