OPENING - MAY 2025
A new beachfront venue arrives this summer, one that celebrates the very best of Greece, a hedonistic playground to engage all senses.
Hedonistic Playground.
DIO is for the indulgence of pleasure and living life at its most outrageous. Early morning swims, lunches that end at midnight, dancing under the stars or on the table, moonlight worship, DJ’s with intoxicating beats, laughter is unrestrained, music pulses through your veins and where the only rule is to embrace the moment.
Beachside Location.
One beautiful sandy beach // DIO is Located at the edge of Hersonissos on the North coast of Crete. We are just a short 10 minute walk from the centre of Hersonissos, a town well known for its party lifestyle and numerous bars and clubs.
A God’s Agora.
Dionysus // The Ancient Greek God of Wine, Feasting, Festivals and Ritual Madness, Son of Zeus and lover of many
We believe that his spirit is alive today, in all of us, but often buried under layers of modern day duties and protocol. Of all the countries, Greece and the Greeks remains faithful to the notion that life is to be lived fully, with each and every moment savoured and cherished.
