Porto Belissario

Small, quiet hotel with delicious and local quisine (amaaaazing risotto!). The rooms are clean and the staff so hospitable and friendly. It has been my third visit already and I have already booked my next stay there. Thank you to the entire Porto Belissario team - it is thanks to you that the stay is a highlight of the year each time.

Words simply cannot explain the sense of well-being supplied by the people working in this premise. Everybody - and I mean it - treats customers as a personal guest. From receptionists (like wonderful Leti), to breakfast attendants, to cleaning ladies, each and everyone is sincerely smiling and expressing the most heartfelt Cretan sense of hospitality. Here's explained why the a**osphere there is so incredibly light and relaxed. Not only that: the hotel structure is beautiful, painstakingly kept, offering a beautiful swimming pool, a sumptuous buffet breakfast and a beach a few steps away, where people may go with towels and beach umbrellas supplied by the hotel itself. Of course, such a massive organization needs to have the most incredible choreographer able to give such perfect guidelines to the entire personnel, having them being maintained. The person in question’s name is Demetra; just rely on this incredible lady for any request and you'll be satisfied in a matter of seconds. Nothing is ever too much for her, of course with her trademark warm smile. That’s why clients are so affectionate to Porto Belissario and make reservations from one year to the other; in fact, forget about finding a room here during the high season (May-October), shortly before you trip. Rightly so. All in all, congratulations, Porto Belissario for your superb job!

Ideal for families, delicious breakfast, Porto Belissario has everything you need in order to spend some days of relaxation. You have always the choice of the swimming pool and the nearby beaches.

Simply super for people who don't like big hotels. Fiendly people, clean, delicious food. There is a lot of quiet places near the swiming pool, only few people on the beach. Perfect for snorcheling. There are a lot of steps to the beach (aproximately 72...)

I do not remember when the last time my vacation was marked by such a wonderful, slow, idleness. Everything at Porto Bellisario was like a dream from another time. And space. Outstanding service, excellent accomodation and a sight to die for. Time does not exist here. Southeast Crete captivates with its beauty, tranquility, austerity and space. An ideal place. For someone who wants to enjoy the scorching sun and the cleanest sea on Earth. So beautiful that we spent the whole stay on the edge of the beach, in a charming cove, right under Porto Bellisario. A beauty of serenity that is irresistible. Beautiful place. Incredibly beautiful. 5 out of 5. Simply Stellar.
