Nestled within an olive grove, Tella Thera embraces sustainability making eco-friendly living a core aspect of its philosophy. From the outset, the property minimizes its ecological footprint with a location naturally promoting energy efficiency, and subterranean buildings blending seamlessly into the environment. Additional environmentally-conscious efforts include a hyper-local supply chain, the elimination of plastic, zero-waste kitchen, and a plant-forward cuisine. The hotel’s main restaurant spans 50 sqm, including an indoor dining area and a covered veranda. The kitchen is partly open to the restaurant area, featuring show cooking and buffet options serving both lunch and dinner, crafting local dishes from seasonal ingredients.
Inside the property, guests can unwind in the privacy of their suite or find a quiet respite from the Mediterranean heat by the pool. A fitness center invites movement, while the spa promises relaxation and rejuvenation. Outside, the beauty of western Crete awaits. Explore the pristine beaches of Balos, Falassarna and Elafonisi renowned for their turquoise waters. Witness the imposing Samaria Gorge, visit archaeological sites and the old town of Chania, and discover charming local tavernas serving authentic Cretan fare. The perfect base from where to immerse in the island’s natural beauty and rich cultural heritage.
