Overview

The Corissia Princess Hotel is your go-to for a seaside escape with a touch of luxury, set right on Crete’s stunning northwest coast in the charming village of Georgioupolis. This beauty has everything you need for a fab holiday – sandy beaches just a flip-flop away, a rooftop bar with jaw-dropping views, and even folklore nights to get you feeling all kinds of Greek.

With only 69 rooms and suites spread over four floors, this is where laid-back vibes meet modern comfort. Think sleek, newly renovated spaces, balconies with cracking views of the bay, and all the essentials like air con, Wi-Fi, and a fridge for those late-night snacks.

And when you’re not lounging on the hotel’s sunbeds or dipping into the heated pool, you can wander to the nearby Corissia Park, a seaside hangout with its own pool, restaurants, and café-bar. Whether you’re here for family fun or a couples’ getaway, the Corissia Princess knows how to roll out the (sandy) carpet.

Location

Georgioupolis is the kind of fishing village that makes you want to pack up and move to Crete. Surrounded by a lush river plain and dramatic mountains, it’s got a postcard-perfect sandy beach, shallow waters ideal for paddling, and plenty of traditional tavernas for sampling local eats.

This laid-back spot is also perfectly placed for exploring Crete’s top attractions, from the historic streets of Chania to the tranquil Lake Kournas. With both Chania Airport (50km) and Heraklion Airport (105km) within reach, getting here is a breeze.
