Aristea

3.6(213 reviews)

About

In Crete, Aristea occupies a site on Andrea Papandreou 3 in Schisma Elountas, a settlement on the island's north-eastern coast. The property operates as a hotel and has built a following over time, with 213 reviews contributing to a score of 3.6 out of 5. Its website at http://www.aristeahotel.gr/ gives a fuller picture of what is offered.

Schisma Elountas sits close to Agios Nikolaos, one of the island's established towns, and the road network links the area to Heraklion, Chania, Rethymno, Ierapetra and Sitia. First-time visitors should expect a modest, established property rather than a large modern complex. The mix of feedback suggests opinions vary between guests.

Most Greek islands are rocky and hilly, and olives, grapes and capers grow widely on terraced slopes, which shapes the landscape around the north-east coast. Island bakeries sell spanakopita and tyropita, and vineyards on Santorini, Crete and Paros produce local wines. Daily life slows in the afternoon, and tavernas serve late into the evening. Monk seals and loggerhead turtles live around the islands, and many have protected nesting beaches.

Guests travelling from Heraklion or Chania can reach Schisma Elountas by road, and the town's position on the north-east coast puts it within reach of Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra and Sitia. The 3.6 out of 5 score from 213 reviews places Aristea among the established stays in the area. Its website remains the main online point of reference for anyone planning a stay.
