The shining white of the buildings blends superbly with the tropical green of the garden, with the lilac and red of the bougainvillea and the hibiscus and the sparkling blue-green of the Mirabello Bay.

Istron Bay is located on the north-eastern coast of Crete, 13 km from the idyllic harbour town of Agios Nikolaos, 800 m from the village of Istro, 70 km by road from Heraklion airport, 22 km from Ierapetra, the southernmost town in Europe, and 60 km from Sitia at the eastern end of Crete, all of which are readily accessible by car and bus. (There is a bus stop within easy walking distance of the hotel).
