Luxurious Suites
Founded from A TRAVELLER, FOR TRAVELLERS
CNP - Captain Napoleon Paterakis
A lifetime at sea transformed Captain Napoleon Paterakis from a voyager into a true citizen of the world. From the harbors of Greece to the coasts of the Philippines and Vietnam, his journeys were guided not just by distance, but by discovery. Travel was his compass; comfort, his anchor.
After decades navigating oceans and building businesses across continents, he returned home to Heraklion with a vision: to craft a sanctuary for kindred spirits — explorers seeking both serenity and sophistication. That vision became CNP Luxurious Suites: a harmonious blend of space, calm, and refined elegance. Each suite tells part of his story — and invites you to begin your own.

The Road to Ithaca
Constantine P. Cavafy
The words of Constantine P. Cavafy flow through this floor like a guiding current, reminding us that the heart of travel lies in the journey itself. Inspired by his timeless poem Ithaca, each room carries a quiet elegance — a space to pause, to reflect, and to savor the path you are on.
As Cavafy wrote, “Hope that your journey is a long one, full of adventure, full of discovery.” Here, you are invited to embrace every step, every horizon, and every moment in between. For in the spirit of Ithaca, arrival is only the beginning of another beautiful voyage.

The Journey Within - Kazantzakis
On this floor, the words of Nikos Kazantzakis guide each step — words that remind us that every voyage is as much about the soul as it is about the miles traveled. Here, travel is not simply movement from one place to another, but a quiet awakening, a dialogue between the self and the world.
The rooms carry the spirit of discovery and reflection, like pages from a well-worn book that still feels new every time you read it. In the gentle stillness of your suite, you will feel the truth in Kazantzakis’ belief: that the greatest journey is not to arrive, but to be forever setting out.

Where the Sea Whispers - Kavvadias
The spirit of Nikos Kavvadias sails through this floor, carrying with it the scent of salt, the rhythm of waves, and the endless call of distant horizons. His words speak to those who feel the ocean not just as water, but as a boundless road — one that leads to places unknown and selves undiscovered.
Here, each suite is a port of rest between voyages, a quiet cabin where dreams are charted and memories become maps. In the hush of the evening or the glow of dawn, you may hear the sea in your thoughts — a reminder, as Kavvadias knew, that the soul of a traveler is forever anchored in the tides.
