Lockdown and social distancing measures have left us longing for better times and hopeful for the possibility of enjoying a usual summer. Greece is considered being one of the safest countries to travel to in the wake of this global pandemic. In July, flights have resumed to and from Greece from all countries, except those, which was hardly affected by COVID-19. If you still have the possibility and the hunger to go abroad this summer – we have the perfect recommendation for you: the Island Concept Boutique Hotel in Crete where you can rest assured that while concerns over the coronavirus outbreak are still prevalent, Aria Hotels, the privately-owned boutique hotel and villas company, is prepared accordingly to welcome its guests and will take all necessary health and safety measures in line with state regulations to create a safe and secure environment for all.

Set on its own secluded mini peninsula in the area of Agios Nikolaos, one of Greece’s most exclusive destinations, a luxurious haven of 6.000 m2 surrounded by the unmatched beauty of the Mediterranean, awaits. The Island Concept Boutique Hotel embodies discreet luxury and classic Greek hospitality, while its design respects traditional Greek minimalism. The hotel comprises fifteen rooms and suites, eleven of which come with their own private pool or outdoor Jacuzzi, allowing visitors to embrace the vacation mood from the comfort of their room.
