Kalypso Cretan Village Resort and Spa

On Crete’s southern shore in Plakias (Agios Vasileios), a waterfront beach hotel minutes from Damnóni Beach and Plakias Beach. About 31 km south of Rethymnon and within easy reach of Preveli Beach and Kourtaliotiko Gorge — a great base for coastal hikes and beach days.

Built in a traditional Cretan style across gardens and hanging rocks, the resort feels tucked into a small fjord-like cove. The 126 air-conditioned rooms have refrigerators and private balconies or patios, with most offering views of the sea or natural surroundings. Expect simple comforts—private bathrooms with tubs or showers, complimentary toiletries and hairdryers.

All-inclusive rates are available. Relax in a full-service spa with massages, sauna and steam bath, or splash in indoor and outdoor pools and a kids’ pool. There’s a private beach and beach bar, poolside bars, fitness center, tennis court, diving school, arcade/game room and kids’ playroom. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and unwind with organized tours and an on-site tour desk.

A business center and conference/meeting room handle small events. Wi‑Fi is available in common areas, and the hotel offers 24-hour front desk service, laundry/dry cleaning, airport shuttle for a surcharge, and free self-parking.

The Main Restaurant Buffet serves Greek cuisine and a complimentary buffet breakfast (typically 7:30–10:00). Multiple bars and lounges include a beach bar and pool bars. Under the all-inclusive plan meals and many drinks are covered, though some specialty dinners, certain outlets and select beverages may carry extra charges; note some bars limit alcoholic service in the late afternoon.
