Horizon Beach Hotel is a family-run property located in Plakias, on the south coast of the island of Crete. The hotel is situated in a peaceful location by the sea, just 400m west from the town centre, and offers wonderful sea view and wide panoramas across the bay.
The hotel is light and airy, with recently renovated rooms that are comfortable yet simply furnished and have their own bathroom (shower or bathtub) and a balcony or terrace.
Shops and tavernas are within easy reach on foot, and the main beach is about a 15 minutes’ walk away. The area is also a good place for those who enjoy walking, short or longer distances, as it is surrounded by typical Cretan countryside with wild flowers, olive trees and small villages in the foothills of the mountains that encircle Plakias.
Thalassa House Apartments
Thalassa House Apartments is a small, yet modern and comfortable property at a peaceful location right on the beach at the south coast of Crete island. The apartments and the studio are spacious, bright with well-equipped kitchenette and renovated bathrooms. All have a balcony or terrace offering a wonderful view overlooking the bay of Plakias and the Libyan Sea.
Thalassa House (“Sea House”) earns its name from the view it offers towards the sea, which starts just below the balcony/terrace and stretches out through Plakias’ wide-arched bay into the horizon. It is a spacious, neat and cozy home, away from home. With modern finishes and highly convenient design, the Thalassa House is a comfortable and functional place to stay and be independent. It lays just a 5 minutes’ walk from Plakias town centre where you can find plenty of restaurants, bars and shops. It stands high enough above the sea level and the coastal road to offer an impressive view, but not too high to require a noticeable or tiring climb.
