Between Elounda and Plaka, Phaea Blue descends through gardens towards a private stretch of coast facing Spinalonga. Bungalows and suites use natural materials, white walls and blue accents, with terraces and pools positioned towards the sea in selected categories. The beach and clear water form the property’s visual focus, complemented by swimming pools and wellness treatments. Anthós explores contemporary Cretan cooking, while Blue Door Taverna occupies a simple waterfront setting with checked tables and views across the bay. Stone paths, olive trees and low buildings follow the hillside above the shoreline.
