KATO ZAKROS LOCATION

Kato Zakros remains one of the most original, unspoiled, non touristic destinations in Crete.
The breathtaking view of the magnificent bay of Kato Zakros  maybe the most popular picture for the photographers in Eastern Crete.The bay was active since Minoan ages and used to be a commercial center at that time.

THE APARTMENTS

Stella’s Traditional resort is built right on the top of the amphitheatric, fertile valley of Kato Zakros, looking the sea high above the olive, orange and lemon trees .
The sea-shore, which is only 500 metres away, is quite close for someone to enjoy the smell and the sea view and far

THE STUDIOS

Thirty meters away from our apartments, having in mind nothing but your total comfort, we reconstructed five new studios at the great setting of Kato Zakros located right next to our traditional apartments. The traditional aesthetics will astonish even the most demanding visitors.

TERRA MINOIKA VILLAS

The valley, overgrown with olive-trees, vineyards and gardens

The ramshackled carcass of the Minoan Palace

The entrance to the Dead's Gorge, carved in perpendicular slopes as if by Titans, within numerable caves and wild goats around

The plain, pure white, orthodox St Antonios' chapel

The fishing boats and the seagulls, proud ornaments of a gulf belonging to a sea thatstretches as far as the eye can see

ACTIVITIES 

                                      If reading on the hammocks and sun beds are not your style, if swimming, fishing, diving, san tanning and games on the beach sounds boring, if walking all  day between the ruins of the archaeological site trying to imagine the Minoan way of living seems meaningless, if you want something more natural than pumping iron in the gym, don’t worry …you have a lot of activities to perform in Kato Zakros.
