Casa Delfino, Chania

While in the town of Chania on the island of Crete, Jen and Eli stayed at Casa Delfino. This was their first hotel on the honeymoon and Eli says, “While it took us a while to navigate the labyrinthine streets that are Hania, we were pleasantly surprised to find a charming hotel with a central courtyard and spacious, airy rooms.”

History buffs will love that it’s a genuine 17th century Venetian palazzo. Jen adds, “The breakfast spread in the courtyard each morning was amazing, especially the fresh Greek yogurt with honey.”

Electra Palace, Athens

Jen and Eli describe the Electra Palace as having “more of an upscale business hotel feel” than a luxury resort. Jen is pictured above in the courtyard. But with its close proximity to everything in Athens, “we could walk everywhere we wanted to go.”

They made sure to mention the “great robes and slippers!”

I couldn’t mention the Electra Palace without talking about the incredible rooftop pool. Check out the views of the Acropolis from up high.

Plaza Beach, Naxos

Plaza Beach Hotel in Plaka on Naxos wasn’t Jen and Eli’s favorite, but definitely did it’s job. She says it was “very nice with a big room.” She adds, “it has a close proximity to the beach, but was a bit of a trek to restaurants and the main town.”
