About Star Sleep

Star Sleep offers a unique experience to guests. The experience of sleeping in a comfortable luxury bed, outside in nature, under the starry sky. At the same time, it enables Hosts to have additional income from bookings. Hosts can be private individuals who own land (yard, garden, field, terrace,) visitable wineries and hotels in the green facilities they have, who are also the main partners.

The idea took flesh and bones taking into account surveys that 76% of travelers, after covid, want contact with nature and that “Sleep Tourism” is the new rising tourist trend that will occupy the market quite a bit in the coming years.

At the same time, the older trend for Wellbeing & Eco tourism is already evident on our island, with Crete having 43 million overnight stays last year.

The impressions and predictions for the first pilot year of Star Sleep, which will start from Crete, are very promising, while we await the next steps.
