It is the perfect point for using it as a jumping-off point from which to explore Crete and the other islands of Greece.
Nymphes Apartments offers the most beautiful accommodation with all the essential contemporary amenities (swimming pool, air-conditioning, central heating, ADSL, Wireless, Satellite TV), ideal for nature and adventure travelers. Hike the rolling hills of Crete, and see views that the less adventurous will miss. Make your visit to Crete entirely your own.
At NYMPHES we practice nature conservation, and invite guests for whom a pristine wilderness represents the epitome of beauty.
The complex consists of 4 studios and 6 apartments, all situated in the front of the building, with spectacular views. Our guests love to watch the sun rise over the sea, and enjoy colorful sunsets.
The swimming pool, surrounded on its deck by chaise lounges and umbrellas, overlooking the Aegean Sea, offers refreshment and relaxation.
The kiosk is a beautiful outdoor space, which has as its backdrop the Aegean Sea and its boats and lights.
The main hall is a spacious and airy room, elegantly decorated, equipped with satellite television, central heating, a fireplace and its own bar. It may be used for dancing, parties and celebrations or for business conferences and seminars. It accommodates up to 50 people. We can help you to organize gatherings, and your guests may enjoy the adjoining swimming pool and seating areas.
Our beautiful gardens have an astonishing collection of local plants and herbs, which we cultivate with loving care.
The area thrives in thyme, oregano and other medicinal herbs and fragrant shrubs are grown throughout and around the grounds. We encourage our guests to use them as we do, for cooking or for making herbal teas. A favorite among guests, and admittedly ourselves, are the many varieties of grapes that are yours to pick at will and enjoy straight off the vine throughout the summer and early fall.

Each apartment has a large private terrace or yard, with a view of the beautiful inlet of Agia Pelagia, and the Aegean Sea and is surrounded by beautiful gardens.
4 Studios
The studios are a single room with a double bed, and kitchen facilities, with an attached private bathroom. They are located above the apartments, and have perhaps the most spectacular views on the grounds.
Each studio can sleep up to 2 adults comfortably.
6 Apartments
Our apartments have one separate bedroom with a double bed, a spacious living room with one, or, two sofa beds (daybeds), which comfortably accommodate adults. Adjacent to the living room is the kitchenette, and attached private bathroom. The apartments can sleep up to 5 adults comfortably.
All of our apartments are in the front of the building facing the sea; so each one has phenomenal views from its own private terrace or yard.
Some additional things
I would like to mention a couple of things that I hope will make you feel welcome, and truly at home.
- Our kitchens are equipped with plates, utensils, dishwashing liquid and towels.
- Writing paper, envelopes, pen and notebook.
We adhere to the very highest standards in the quality of our accommodations. We actually set the standard for exceptional, warm, helpful hospitality. The people of Crete have always welcomed visitors with open arms. At Nymphes, we welcome our guests with open hearts as well.
