About us

Here Cretan hospitality becomes a way of life.

At VOLTA, the spirit of authentic Cretan hospitality lives through a family who grew up valuing warm welcomes, genuine care, and generosity. Here, every guest is treated as an honoured visitor, just as tradition demands.

The story of VOLTA is the story of a family shaped by the everyday culture of Cretan hospitality.

The Damianakis family, born and raised in Crete, carries a deep respect for the guest, a value that has never been considered an obligation, but a natural way of life. From their earliest years, offering warmth, showing care, and going the extra mile have been constants in their daily experience.

This philosophy gave life to VOLTA: a boutique retreat where authenticity meets contemporary comfort, and thoughtful service becomes an experience of its own. Warm greetings, personalised attention, and an eye for detail, these are not formalities, but an extension of their family culture.

At VOLTA, every guest becomes part of a story that continues to unfold each day; a story that honours tradition, embraces the modern traveller, and celebrates the true character of Crete.

Our Values Are Clear

  • Authenticity — every experience should reflect the land and its culture.

  • Warmth & Humanity — every guest is treated as a friend we welcome into our home.

  • Respect for Nature & People — we operate with honesty and sustainable practices.

  • Privacy & Serenity — everyone should feel they have their own personal retreat.

Green Growth

We operate with deep respect for the nature and environment that host us.

VOLTA Sea Side follows a sustainable hospitality philosophy:

  • Use of local and natural materials (stone, wood, native Cretan plants)
  • Reduced energy consumption through eco-friendly systems
  • Water conservation and filtration
  • Recycling and reduction of plastic use
  • Support for local producers and farmers

For us, hospitality is complete only when it combines authenticity with sustainability.

At VOLTA Sea Side, we don’t just offer a place to stay —
we invite you to become part of a circle, a family that welcomes you to Crete.
