El Greco Resort & Spa

It was such a fabulous place. A few pools meant that guests weren’t squashed and we always managed to get a sun bed that was directly in sunshine all day! Staff were really friendly and accommodating, too. The spa was also amazing and I had a great massage there. Food within the hotel is brilliant, but it’s also only a five minute walk from the main strip of bars and restaurants. Just over the road from the front door is a cliff edge with the most beautiful view of the sea (particularly the sun set at night). I can’t recommend this place enough and I’ll definitely be back one day!

Close to Fira by foot. The villas are very confortable with a beautiful view on the caldeira and the sunset

This hotel was amazing :) The staff warmly greeted me the first day and helped me with the luggage as my Villa was furthest away. I loved the privacy and the kind cleaner ladies who had tried their best to make my stay amazing. They put so much effort into their work and I really appreciated that The food was great and there was plenty to choose from. The room was clean and all the people were super kind who work there, always helpful, happy, and will do their best to meet people's needs and to make sure everyone is fully enjoying their holidays!i left a tip for the cleaner lady , she is awesome!! Location is great

Resort is located an easy walk to town—it’s really about 10 minutes—you’d have to be walking at an extremely slow pace to make it take longer (some reviews have said 20 minutes plus? No idea how unless you are talking to the opposite edge of town). You can also easily walk through the center of the resort to get to a strip of cheaper restaurants and shops, including a much bigger supermarket, away from the more expensive tourist locations. Breakfast is good with lots of options. We also had dinner at the pool bar one night when we got back late—food was tasty and prices were reasonable. Concierge was very helpful in setting up excursions, which were totally worth it—we did the catamaran tour (day) and the all day bus excursion. We were also upgraded to a junior suite upon arrival.

El Greco was honestly one of the nicest hotels we’ve stayed in. Upon arrival we were greeted by friendly welcoming staff, who gave us a complimentary upgrade to a junior suite! Our bags were carried to the room and the view was unbelievable, we were right on the front west side facing the sunset! Room was beautifully done and had everything we needed including daily maid service which was welcome. The pools were immaculate, plenty of sunbeds. We ate in the bar/restaurant a couple of times for lunch and the food was excellent, staff always helpful and polite! Most of the hotel is facing the east side, we were on the west (probably only 10/20 apartments facing west. Location wise we were about a 5-10 minute walk into the lively town of Fira. The front of the hotel is on the road that leads in to Fira so there are coaches and quad bikes going up and down but it didn’t bother us when sleeping! Plenty of parking also, we hired a car from goldcarcat the airport (the hotel is an 8 min drive from the airport) as we wanted to explore the island. Nothing is more than a 25 minute drive and we felt safe on the roads. Overall we had the most incredible stay here and we wished we could have stayed forever !! Thank you so much to all the staff at El Greco!
