About Out Of The Blue Resort

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.

This clifftop setting creates a natural amphitheater for ceremonies and receptions with the sea as your backdrop.
