Kato Zakros rooms | Yiannis Retreat

 

Yiannis Retreat is a complex of 9 beautifully restored stone houses nestled in the green valley of Kato Zakros. Surrounded by olive trees, vibrant gardens, and charming bushes, our retreat offers breathtaking views and direct access to the mesmerizing blue waters of Kato Zakros bay.

The rooms are located just 800 meters from the beach. This proximity allows you to easily enjoy swimming in the clear waters and savor the delicious traditional cuisine at the nearby taverns, yet far enough to provide a peaceful escape from the stresses of everyday life.

The Studios

The studios decor and furniture effortlessly combine traditional elements with modern functionality and comfort, resulting in a welcoming and cozy ambiance for your vacation getaway.

The interiors feature stone walls, complemented by wooden board ceilings and a cozy double bed with a stone base. The room is adorned with elegant ornaments inspired by the local culture.

The Apartments

Yiannis Retreat introduced the stone apartments in 2019, situated in the same picturesque setting.

The spacious apartments, spanning 35-40 m2, feature charming décor that incorporates stone, iron, and wooden beds. The interiors boast wooden ceilings, Cretan textiles, and carefully curated elements and objects from our vibrant local culture.

Each apartment features a bedroom, a cozy living room with a sofa bed, and a well-equipped kitchen complete with a microwave, oven, hob, and fridge.

Access the complex easily by following the dirt road from the beach of Kato Zakros, passing by the Minoan Palace, and the exit of “The Gorge of the Dead”. Our retreat is a 2-minute drive, perfect for those seeking a combination of comfort, quality, and stunning beauty during their holiday.
