Crete’s Minos Touch by Gisella Williams in Prior

“Crete is an island of family-owned resorts, and one of the most long standing luxury properties on the island, which has attracted the likes of Lady Gaga and European royals, is the Blue Palace. A complex of an open-air temple of a lobby and dozens of sand-colored villas that are built into a rocky hillside that spills down to the Gulf of Elounda, the five-star property is currently being run by its ambitious next generation: two sisters Agapi and Costantza Sbokou, both extremely focused on design and sustainability.”
