Dear Guests, Partners and Friends,

In the context of the new reality we are experiencing, we would like to inform you that we are doing everything possible to make you feel safe and able to enjoy your holidays.

Therefore, please be informed that we are following all the instructions regarding disinfection and hygiene of our hotel and we are already in the process of obtaining the special sign of the Greek authorities, which will certify the procedures.

Official COVID-19 cases so far in Crete were few and we hope that this will not change in the near future. We are closely monitoring the developments and we fully comply with WHO and NPHO (National Public Health Organization) instructions.

For the time being through this page, updated when needed, you will be informed for any further developments on the policy of our hotel due to the COVID-19.  

HEALTH AND SAFETY MEASURES SO FAR  

Our group has already implemented an action plan aimed at preventing the occurrence and effective management of suspicious cases as long as there are restrictions on staff and tenant expansion.

We have set up a special management team Covid-19 which includes a doctor who specializes in Covid-19 and who supervises the safe and smooth operation of our hotel, gives instructions and directs the staff if necessary, according to the instructions of the Authorities.

All of our staff are trained in accordance with the guidelines of the World Health Organization and state health protocols and we provide them with all the personal protective equipment required.

In order to achieve the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene, we have entered into a partnership with a certified company, in order to ensure the health of the hotel, in accordance with strict standards and certification of the practices we follow and the methodical training of our staff.
