  A Truly Magical Stay at Iphigenia Mythic Retreat ☀️🐩🍹

  23 May 2026

  We honestly don’t even know where to begin with Iphigenia Mythic Retreat, what an unbelievably special place. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely welcomed, not just as guests, but genuinely cared for like family.As parents travelling with two young children, finding somewhere that truly embraces kids while still feeling peaceful and magical for adults is rare…but Christos and Marianna have created exactly that. Our girls have absolutely fallen in love with this place and genuinely do not want to leave!The love and care poured into every single detail here is something you can feel everywhere you look. From the beautiful surroundings, the relaxing atmosphere, the incredible food and cocktails, right down to the thoughtful little touches that make your stay feel so personal and special. Nothing ever feels too much trouble.One of our favourite things has actually been the simple moments together as a family, playing in the pool, spending hours playing the selection of games available, laughing together and properly slowing down.In a world that feels so busy all the time, Iphigenia has given us space to reconnect and make memories we’ll genuinely treasure forever.Marianna and Christos are the most wonderful hosts, warm, kind, genuine and incredibly thoughtful. You can tell this isn’t “just a business” to them, it’s something built with real heart and soul. And of course, we can't forget about the resident pup Coconut who is beyond adorable and greets you each time he sees you, he is definitely Iphigenia's unofficial mascot!This place feels magical in a way that’s hard to explain until you experience it for yourself. A hidden gem full of warmth and love. We arrived hoping for a lovely holiday and are leaving with memories our family will never forget.Thank you for making us feel so at home. The Bennett Family 💙

  An absolute gem: don't think about it, just go!

  18 May 2026

  A lovely place in a lovely spot hosted by a lovely couple. Stayed a week in late April and were totally smitten. Rooms are a good size, well decorated/appointed and very comfortable; grounds are incredible and food is fantastic as well as very reasonably priced. Marianna and Christos are the nicest and most helpful hosts we've ever encountered always ready with a smile and happy to help. It was like staying with family. And 'Coconuts' is as loveable as his owners. We will return.

  The complete package

  08 Jul 2024

  Returned from a wonderful weeks stay at the Iphigenia Mystic Retreat, as a family of four (18 & 16yr old children). Where do I start…the owners MariAnna & Christos are amazing hosts, working tirelessly to ensure you have a perfect & memorable stay, recommending places to visit, assisting with car hire & booking fantastic restaurants.This is a beautiful and intimate hotel, serving just 12 individual apartments means there is no need to rush for sun beds! The facilities cater for all ages. The day sun beds are a great addition. And the grounds are beautiful. There is an array of food (large portions) and drink available at the hotel bar with certain cocktails only 4 Euros, with well known & local beers and spirits, together with fruit drinks and ice creams. Yes, the bathrooms are small however with a shower, basin & toilet, what else do you need? The apartments have lots of space with added balcony or terrace area and the air conditioning is a god send. The hotel is located a short 10 mins walk downhill to Hersonissos beach and bar/restaurant strip where you have an unlimited amount of choice. Would recommend Cretan Blue & Med Cafe. Herssonisos Old Town (traditional Greek) is also worth a visit one evening by taxi (10 Euros) and meal at Zachos is a must, staff are fantastic & play games involving Raki! A hire call, whilst not a necessity should be considered to see the sites where you will find amazing, friendly & cheap tavernas in the remote mountain roads.In summary, we had a memorable and fantastic family stay at the Iphigenia. The facilities are perfect and the owners so thoughtful. Hope to visit again soon.
