On a quiet beach on the southern coast of Crete, overlooking rocky peninsulas and with direct access to the sea, an existing structure has been reimagined as a boutique hospitality residence. The design engages in a subtle dialogue with its natural surroundings and the local vernacular, balancing modern aesthetics with elements that evoke the region’s history and landscape.
Perched above the crystal-clear waters of the Libyan Sea, the Echo of the Sea is a testament to hospitality and refined aesthetics. Seamlessly blending traditional Cretan architecture with modern comforts and premium services, it offers an elevated accommodation experience.
Designed with sustainability and deep respect for the environment, the Echo of the Sea is more than just a place to stay—it’s a gateway to the essence of Crete. Here, luxury meets tradition, nature blends with history, and genuine Cretan hospitality creates memories that linger for a lifetime.
