About
At Grecotel, our customers are at the heart of everything we do. We understand that travelers seek more than just a place to stay; they desire immersive experiences, genuine hospitality, and a deep connection to the destinations they visit. Many face the challenge of finding luxury accommodations that also offer authentic local culture and a true sense of place. That's why, for 50 years, we have dedicated ourselves to crafting unique and memorable stays in Greece's most breathtaking locations. Our customers often look for a holiday that combines relaxation with enriching activities, and a safe, welcoming environment for their families. We address this by providing a diverse portfolio of over 40 hotels and resorts, each with its own distinct character, from exclusive beachfront properties to vibrant city hotels. Our guests value personalized service and attention to detail, which can sometimes be lost in larger hotel chains. Grecotel was founded on the Cretan ethos of 'philoxenia' – a profound love and welcoming of strangers – and this principle guides our every interaction. We strive to make our guests feel as if they are being welcomed into our own homes. Furthermore, discerning travelers are increasingly conscious of the environmental and social impact of their choices. Recognizing this, Grecotel has been a pioneer in sustainability since 1991, integrating environmental protection and the promotion of Greek culture into our core operations. Our 'From Farm to Fork' initiative and commitment to organic cuisine cater to guests who seek healthy and responsible dining options. We aim to solve the challenge of finding a luxury escape that is also responsible and deeply connected to the local community and environment, ensuring that the beauty of Greece can be enjoyed by generations to come. Our commitment extends to our 7,000 employees, who are the cornerstone of our success, delivering the warm, heartfelt hospitality that brings guests back year after year.
