Crete was ranked #1 in the Top 10 list of Best Islands in Europe at the 2024 Condé Nast Traveler US Readers’ Choice Awards. Our island, the birthplace of Grecotel and home of 9 of our Hotels & Resorts and our traditional Agreco Farm, is distinguished for its extraordinary natural, historical and cultural landscape, as well as the legendary spirit of Cretan people.
Grecotel, an active supporter of climate change initiatives, aligns its voice with the scientific community and other advocates working to hand over a planet free from the impacts of climate change to future generations, reinforcing its commitment to meaningful collaboration. Grecotel hosted the three-day ecological Symposium "Earth: A Sustainable Planet for All – Call for Action – Change is Possible" in Rethymno from September 10-12, 2024.
Grecotel supports the "AGAPI" association for people with disabilities in Rethymno.
Creta Palace Resort proudly won the Care Foundation Award at TUI Global Hotel Awards ceremony held on ITB Berlin 2024. The Resort was acclaimed for its dedication to innovative services and continuous sustainability efforts, celebrated by their guests and travel partners.
We invite you to Creta Palace’s Amalthea’s Botanic Garden to cut, smell, cook a wide range of herbs, vegetables and fruits and taste the difference that fresh, locally grown vegetables can make. Discover a selection of authentic experiences or design your own special moments to remember…
