We are beyond thrilled to share that Phāea Blue has been featured in a two-page exclusive spread in The Times and The Sunday Times (print and digital) as part of their prestigious Luxury Greece Travel series, celebrating Crete’s quiet elegance, authentic hospitality and contemporary island soul.

In her captivating story, Victoria Brzezinski traces Elounda’s journey from the glamorous era of Aristotle Onassis and Jackie O. to today’s refined world of “escapist luxe.”

We are deeply honored by this recognition and proud to share Phāea’s spirit, a refined, heartfelt hospitality that reflects the true essence of Crete.

Weaving runs through the very fabric of Cretan culture, with roots that stretch back to ancient history. Think of the myth of Ariadne’s thread or the intricately woven garments of Minoan women, forever captured in the frescoes of Knossos. Today, Crete continues to keep this tradition alive with artisans crafting beautiful textiles on traditional wooden looms. ⁠
⁠
For us, authenticity lies in honoring these age-old practices while embracing the present. At Phāea, we cherish the opportunity to share our story with our guests in every corner of our hotels. The late grandmother of Agapi and Costantza Sbokou added a touch of tradition with her handwoven textiles from the island, which now grace our hotel, infusing each space with a rich connection to our heritage.⁠
