Location

The elegant Daios Cove is one of the most exclusive 5-star hotels in Crete. Its secluded, quiet location in the northeast of the island makes it an ideal place for a relaxing holiday in a stylish atmosphere. The resort blends harmoniously into its surroundings, stretching along the bay down to the private, fine sandy beach of Vathi. Due to its exquisite location, almost every spot in the hotel offers a breathtaking sea view.
The impressive town of Agios Nikolaos, with its numerous restaurants, tavernas, and bars, is approx. 7 km from the hotel. Elounda, with the small town of Schisma from where excursion boats depart for the famous island of Spinalonga, is approx. 15 km away. Heraklion Airport is 67 km away.
