Acro Suites (Crete)

The Greek island of Crete is the country's largest, replete with tall mountains, arid terrain, and beaches with tantalizing crystal-clear water (many of them are secluded, meaning you can find a strand of sand to have just for yourself). Acro Suites is one of Greece's newest boutique hotel additions. With many of them cave-like and carved into a cliff above the sea, the hotel's 48 suites and villas sport stone and wood, much of it having been excavated on-site. If private plunge pools are your travel love language, then elect to stay in one of the hotel's suites, which all come with personal saltwater lidos.
