Not even Poseidon himself would be able to resist this temple of pleasure with the mountains as a backdrop, the deep blue of the Cretan Sea, and suites with private pools.

A cradle of ancient stories and unlabeled desires.

Sharing myths on the island of Crete goes down in history. Origin, desire, and mystery waiting to be experienced.

Here Zeus was born and the labyrinth of the Minotaur was traced. An island where identity is not linear, where the hybrid is also divine, and where sometimes getting lost is the only way to find yourself.

 

Inspired by the oranges, ochres and blues of the Palace of Knossos' Minoan culture, the hotel is located in the old town of Hersonissos, just steps from the main square and a pleasant stroll from Sarantari Beach, the most iconic LGBTQIA+ nudist beach on the island.

 

A refuge that whispers tales of gods, untamable creatures, and bodies that defy all the rules, right?

Axel Beach Crete

Choose your room

Sleep like a god in Crete

40 rooms with character, where the colors of the frescoes and Minoan figures exist in an interplay with the infinite blue of the Aegean Sea.  

Most have a balcony or terrace, and some offer views of the inner courtyard, the mountains, or the sea. A few, the ultimate, include private pools for much more intimate rituals.  

As Heraclitus would say:
 "Πάντα ζεζ", "Everything flows".  

Skybar

Here the mythology is eternal... and your fun is endless. 

Welcome to your Olympus. On the rooftop of Axel Beach Crete, the sun sets slowly, bodies glisten, and history is rewritten each evening.

Map to get there

 

How to get there

BY CAR: Leaving the airport, head south on the National Highway to Agios Nikolaos. After 25 km, take the exit to Hersonissos. At the end of the road, turn left towards the city. After 500 meters, turn right and continue 300 meters until you reach the hotel.

BY BUS: Take the green buses (KTEL), Malia or Agios Nikolaos line. Get off at stop number 20: the Halkiadakis supermarket. Walk 1.5 km to the village of Hersonissos. Continue for about 300 meters and you'll find the hotel entrance. The cost is approximately €5.50 per person.

FERRY: It can be taken from the Greek Peninsula, mainly from the Port of Piraeus, in Athens, or from other Greek islands, such as Mykonos and Santorini in high season. Heraklion Port is the best connected, offers the most arrivals and departures, and is the closest to the hotel, at just 30 minutes by car/taxi.
