Cretology, created by the Yiannoullis family, is an innovative initiative that respectfully embraces the land, history, and roots of Crete. It transforms a historic estate into a holistic destination dedicated to the Cretan way of life.
Inspired by the values of the Minoans and guided by the philosophy of well-being, the project aims to operate year-round and highlight the richness of hospitality, wellness, gastronomy, traditional farming, and local entrepreneurship.
The identity of Cretology remains deeply personal and family-driven, incorporating memories, recipes, stories, and heirlooms while preserving a living connection to the past. Its goal is to become a modern point of reference for the whole island of Crete, much like The Refinery Crete once was.
