The island of Crete is not only the largest and most populous of the Greek islands, it's also rich in history and mythology, it's seen the likes of Minoans , Romans, Byzantines, Venetians, and now: Blue Palace Resort and Spa.



The poolside veranda features an elaborately constructed series of Greek rounded arches jutting out opulently into a swimming pool while the sun majestically sets in the background.



The rooms at Blue are equipped with hedonistic, Greek-like comforts such as couches, 320 thread count pure cotton satin sheets on luxury beds.



Many of the rooms come with their very own private pools/decks. 



Doorless taverna, Blue Door, where local fishermen supply fresh, daily-caught swimmers to pair with traditional Greek meze, plus bouzouki entertainment every Monday and Friday.
