Daios Cove, Crete, Greece, Mediterranean
Daios Cove, Crete
For all-out luxury, Daios Cove is five-star from top to bottom (quite literally). Cleverly carved into a natural amphitheatre above a secluded olive-tree-covered cove just south of Agios Nikolaos on Crete's eastern side, the resort cascades down the hillside over five different levels, accessed via a combination of winding steps, paths and a funicular that can zip you from bedroom to beach in a flash.

Why Choose Turquoise?
Family Owned & Run
We are one of the few remaining family owned and run operators of our size. We have direct relationships with every single destination, island, resort and hotel we work with, in order to deliver exceptional and truly personalised service.
Our Passion Runs Deep
We are - and always have been - mad about travel. For almost 25 years we've been scouring the globe for the best places to stay, the newest routes to take, the perfect people to meet. No-one will care more about your holiday.
Definition of Luxury
Luxury means something different to everyone. Whether you are seeking the silence of vast spaces, the isolation of a private island, the buzz of a new city, the adrenaline of a safari or anything in between, we listen, we learn, we advise.
Fun & Refreshing
We endeavour that every Turquoise experience is unique, fun and refreshing. Travel is all about experiences, about serendipitous moments and endless smiles. It is a joy and an honour to plan each and every Turquoise holiday.
