A stone’s throw away from Agia Galini’s award-winning beach, the family-run Paralos Irini Mare Holiday is a friendly, deliciously relaxing getaway an hour away from Heraklion International Airport – an ideal jumping-off point to explore South Crete’s gorgeous sands and ancient landmarks. Paralos Irini Mare is the perfect stay to explore Crete’s countless historical, natural, and cultural treasures in a truly memorable Greek holiday experience. Surrounded by sweeping hills that stretch all the way to the pristine Blue Flag beach of Agia Galini, Paralos Irini Mare offers a relaxed lifestyle for families and couples.

128 bright, modern rooms are the quintessence of laid-back luxury with an emphasis on natural materials and big windows that beautifully frame the Cretan landscape. Spread across 13 buildings and 40.000 square meters of land overlooking the Libyan Sea, they offer a range of options for couples and families, from superior double rooms with mountain views to junior suites with sea views and a private pool. Our recently constructed junior suites are eco-friendly, using exclusively geothermic and solar power in keeping with the resort’s genuine commitment to sustainability.

All rooms were either built or renovated in the last six years and offer an array of amenities, from coffee and tea-making facilities to a new pillow menu complimentary in all room types.
