Minos Beach, Crete

For more than 60 years, Minos Beach art hotel has been part of Agios Nikolaos in eastern Crete. The hotel stands on a small peninsula along a coastline of around two kilometres, and its bungalows and villas are spread through the gardens down to the water. More than 55 art installations from the G. & A. Mamidakis Foundation are displayed across the grounds, and two private sandy beaches with shallow, clear water invite you to swim. The hotel suits couples, art lovers and anyone who wants to experience the Cretan way of life right by the sea.

Art in the garden
