Out of the Blue, Capsis Elite Resort is brimming with luxury and life - a unique island resort in Crete that makes the effort to grow spectacular gardens, organic produce, and tend to a private zoo.
EXPERIENCE
Out of the Blue, Capsis Elite Resort isn't so much a hotel as a small world unto itself. The property reaches across an entire private peninsula, hugging a small Cretan fishing village just to the east.
You are free to choose rooms from any one of its two main buildings and three meandering neighborhoods of bungalows and villas, all of them ensconced in lush, carefully designed gardens.
Out of the Blue has been awarded in the past for its environmentally sensitive design and efforts to protect the ecosystem it calls home. Visit the private zoo and observe the exotic wildlife kept there, or simply watch the diverse birdlife that takes up residence in the trees.
Rivaling the amenities of small towns, Out of the Blue features a total of eight restaurants, each showcasing its own particular theme and style. Because the Cretan property raises its own organic produce, you can expect the freshest fruits and vegetables to accompany your Mediterranean seafood.
LOCATION
Out of the Blue, Capsis Elite Resort is situated on the island of Crete, birthplace of Zeus, the Minoan Kingdom, and countless Greek myths, including that of Icarus and the Minotaur. It rests on a secluded peninsula next to the fishing village Aeghia Pelagia on the north side of the island. A half hour's drive west from Heraklion International Airport, it is easily accessible by car.
