Out Of The Blue Resort in Iraklio 715 00.
Perched on the Cretan coastline above Agia Pelagia, Out Of The Blue Resort commands unobstructed views across the Aegean Sea, with whitewashed architecture rising from terraced cliffs that drop 80 meters to turquoise waters below.
The property's elevated vantage point frames sunsets across open sea, while the surrounding landscape alternates between Mediterranean scrub, olive groves, and dramatic limestone formations.

Absolutely everything in this hotel is perfect! The food is simply outstanding – always fresh, delicious, and prepared to the highest standards. Every meal feels like fine dining! The variety is incredible, and the late dinner service until 12:30 AM is such a great bonus. The restaurant staff deserve special praise – they are truly amazing! So kind, professional, and always smiling. The service is beyond excellent – they make every guest feel special and well taken care of. The atmosphere is wonderful, the reception is always helpful and friendly, and everything here is top quality. Without a doubt, this is the best hotel in Crete! Highly, highly recommended!
