Alianthos Beach Hotel in Μυρθιανος Πλακιάς 740 60, open June–October.
Alianthos Beach Hotel originated as a traditional Cretan family residence in the 1970s before undergoing a thoughtful renovation to become a waterfront hospitality destination.
Perched on the shores of Plakiás Beach, the property retains its authentic Mediterranean character while offering modern amenities for ceremonies and receptions.
The hotel's conversion preserved original stonework and architectural details, creating a venue where history and contemporary comfort coexist.
Booked a room but they tried to put us in a crappy suite 10 minutes drive away from the beach. Owner pretended like it was the system's fault. Made us waste time and gave us a crappy room after. Hotel breakfast is terrible and the service is non-existent. I feel bad for the employees that work here since the manager is deceptive and a liar. Avoid this place at all costs!!
