Hotel Calypso  

Perched in verdant rolling hills on the southern tip of Crete, this family-friendly hotel sits within easy walking distance of Matala's golden-sand beach and the famous Matala Caves. Key sights like Red Beach and Komos Beach are a short drive away, and Heraklion (HER) is about 65.5 km.

Rooms are modern and cozy with chocolate-brown furniture, soothing tones and private furnished balconies or patios where you can sip a drink or enjoy breakfast. Units include minibars, flat-screen TVs and rainfall showerheads; public spaces feature a well-manicured garden and a sun terrace that frames laid-back island vibes.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool, lounge on sunbeds under umbrellas, or soak up the sun on the terrace and garden. There’s also a gym, kids' pool and playground, poolside bar and outdoor shower—plus free onsite parking and pool towels (fees may apply). Wake up to sea-breeze mornings from your balcony after a day exploring the nearby caves and beaches.

Practical services include a 24-hour front desk and a safe-deposit box at reception. Complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps you connected and free self-parking is available onsite.

Grab casual bites at the snack bar/deli, unwind with a drink at the bar or poolside bar, or dine in the on-site restaurant. Rooms mention a complimentary breakfast option to start your day before heading out to explore Cretan coast flavors nearby.
