| Comment |
“If you are looking for peace and quiet off the beaten track without compromising on luxury you are in good hands in the Istron Bay Hotel A view which will never be obstructed by buildings: the Istron Bay Hotel complex directly above the beach….. those who enjoy the sunset from the terrace of the Meltemi hotel restaurant accompanied by soft piano music …call this place the only romanticspot on earth“ (ADAC Germany, Special Report on the top ten hotels in Crete [NB equivalent to the AA in the UK]) “…..in a luxury hotel like the Istron Bay, cordiality is not a luxury!!“ (Tour Med, Germany)
We totally agree with all these statements. The hospitality of the Greek-German family owners is truly sincere. It is noticeable that heart and soul have gone into the running of this individual hotel with its
long-serving, friendly personnel. The hotel’s location is unique and the view of the private bay breathtaking. However, not only the location and view are unique: the hotel offers excellent cuisine. The chef, Panajotis Delvenakiotis, trained in Germany and has dedicated himself to authentic Cretan and Mediterranean cuisine. Many original Greek starters are available from the buffet. The main course is served at the table from a choice of three tasty Mediterranean dishes. Home made desserts from the in-house pastry shop (super biscuits!) round off the meal.
In a nutshell: one of the finest hotels on the East coast which is also affordable! Nikoletta and Wolfgang Brack, Kreta Reisen.
|
| Location |
The hotel is located directly on a sandy beach above the Bay of Istron (600 metres wide). It is about 800 metres to the little village of Istron which on foot can only be reached via the coastal road. The hotel
is therefore very quiet and not everyone‘s cup of tea. A hire car is essential.
|
| Layout |
This well-kept hotel has a reception, TV corner, main restaurant, internet corner and a minimarket. There is a salt water swimming pool (28 metres long!), childrens pool, sun terrace, sun beds, sun shades and bathing towels (included) at the pool and on the beach. On the beach there is a very good taverna (moderate prices and big portions) and an a la carte restaurant with cocktail bar. Total of 145 rooms.

Some of the junior suites have a connecting door and are ideal for two adults with teenage children (very big terraces). There are also apartments with separate bedrooms, partly in maisonette style.
