What to do in Crete?

Explore One Of The Most Beautiful Beaches

Crete is the perfect destination for exploring one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The first one you should explore is Falassarna Beach, where you can experience an exciting tandem paragliding trip. Do not miss the opportunity to swim in an enormous natural pool at Elafonisi Beach. These beaches’ white sand and turquoise water create an unforgettable paradise on Earth.

Follow In The Footsteps Of Greek Mythology

Nothing equals the joy of walking the Earth filled with history and legends that date back millennia. Phaistos Palace is one of these magical historical places. This was the home of Rhadamanthus (the brother of Minos) and one of the most impressive Minoan palaces. Take a trip to Phaistos Palace and admire its ruins, which defy the passage of time!

Explore The Lake By The Sea – Lake Voulismeni

In the center of Agios Nikolaos, you will find a mesmerizing lake – Lake Voulismeni – connected to the Mediterranean by an inlet. Here you can admire the beauty of its endless water or enjoy the local delicacies. During the day, you can drink your coffee and admire the fish. End your day with a delicious meal while admiring the water’s lights, creating a memorable spectacle.

Hike In Samaria Gorge

Hiking in Samaria Gorge is the perfect choice for a once-in-a-lifetime experience in Crete. You can start your hike from the Omalos Plateau and continue your way through the Gates and the Iron Gates, where the gorge tapers. Every step of the way, you can admire unique landscapes and the endangered kri-kri or the Cretan goat, which create a memorable experience!

Claudiu Apostu

Local Manager April 2015 – present - My journey with them started because I wanted to do something different! I applied and took part in the photography school organized by PhotoHotel where I met all those that became my colleagues for the next 7 months! I changed a few positions since then: my first year in Mallorca was in 2015 where I started as a photographer, the second year in Crete I worked as a photographer and hotel team leader. After that, in 2017 I moved to Rhodes as a Destination Team Leader and since 2018 I am in Corfu, promoted from next year to Area Manager! I honestly didn't think I would go that far with a company but 5 years later I am still working with PhotoHotel. The nice thing about working with them, is that the job allows you to push your boundaries further and requires you to grow on so many levels. You have the opportunity to improve or learn 1 to as many languages you can, you get to meet new people and interact with different cultures! Not to forget, that if the financial is really important to you, you have the possibility to earn a great salary. Join me and be a part of the PhotoHotel family!

Ada Constantinescu

Photographer May 2017 - noiembrie 2020 - I talk a lot, I love children and I like traveling - which was perfectly compatible with PhotoHotel. Three seasons as a photographer, and what do I have to show for it? Well, I've met and interacted with people from all over Europe and beyond, lots and lots of photos that I have took and that other people took of me and a whole world of memories. For me the story goes on ...

Trifan Alexandru

Photographe April 2018 – present - My adventure at PhotoHotel started 3 years ago. It is a unique, interesting and captivating experience. Working with them I managed to learn a foreign language, develop my photography skills and gain hands-on experience on how to sell a service or product. A part from a salary and my own personal development, I had the opportunity to visit many beautiful places and meet people from different corners of the world. To me, PhotoHotel is about strong characters, ambition, courage and a lot of drive to succeed.

Ana-Maria Prodan

Photographer April 2016 – present - I have been working at PhotoHotel since 2016 and I am proud to be part of the PhotoHotel family. I have learned to discover myself (attitude, smile and communication with other people). A beautiful experience and pleasant memories with persons and friends very dear to me!

Stefan Ceausescu

Photographer May 2018 – November 2018 - In my case, PhotoHotel was the job opportunity that changed my life! I know it sounds dramatic, cliche and all that, but the experience I have gained during the 6 months, spent on the beautiful island of Crete, they've changed me, in the most beneficial way possible. I've noticed afterwards that I smile more, I am more open towards people, I have more energy and it's a lot easier making new friends. Granted, it was a lot of work, but the money I earned more than made it up for it, so in the end it was worth doing it ! If you are looking for an adventure or you think you are more of an introvert but you want to change that and you are really willing to put in the work to change and in the process earn a great paycheck, then PhotoHotel is for you!

Alexandra Baltag

Photographer  2011 – 2019 - 9 years ago, that's when I first started the cooperation with the PhotoHotel team. I remember that the first time I heard about them was from a fellow colleague from university, who told me that I had to go for an interview. I admit that I was skeptical about a job as aphotographer, especially abroad... everything was new to me and I didn't trust that it suited me. I just went to the interview to see what this company was all about, especially because my colleague had only wonderful things to say about her experience. They convinced me that it is a job that actually suits me so I went along and now I just want to say thank you PhotoHotel for the 9 years we spent together and I am looking forward to many more. It is definitely an experience that I recommend to everyone, with a vibrant and beautiful team, sunny places to enjoy and dreams that come true if you are willing to work hard to make that happen.

Alexandru Larion Cezar

Photographer May 2017 – present - My experience with PhotoHotel helped me evolve professionally, financially and personally. It is a job that anyone would dream of because it combines exotic holiday destinations with the pleasure of working in a setting where you get to learn things every day, meeting thousands of people. Of course, you need to know that if you want a successful career in this company, the results you expect will only be equal to the efforts you put in. For my part, I would like to thank PhotoHotel for the great opportunity it gives me!
