The origins of the Crete Hotel creation
The idea of Kakkos Bay Ierapetra Crete resort was born around 1988 when the Kakkos family resided in the current hotel premises. Family has always been a priority for the hotel’s owners, who frequently organized lively gatherings and celebrations in the area. For many years, and before the idea of the hotel came to fruition, brothers, sisters, and cousins of the Kakkos family would all travel to the bay to spend their summer holidays under the sun.
The private beach and Kakkos resort’s first version
Meanwhile, due to natural causes, the small bay started expanding slightly, giving way for more people to enjoy a day in privacy with all the amenities a stone’s throw away. The beach started becoming more popular, and as it had no name, people would say that they’re looking for the beach where the Kakkos family lived- thus, it was soon named after the family: “The Kakkos Beach.”
That was the time when the Kakkos family saw even greater potential. They decided to customize and offer 9 of their family rooms to people traveling to the area from afar. In addition, they started a small tavern with a business mindset, offering Cretan delicacies and catering to their guests’ needs.
