Our Philosophy
We believe that hotels should exist for a greater purpose, and ours is to offer experiences that transform people and unveil a deeper meaning in life. Each of our properties shares the same holistic and authentic design ethos while maintaining a unique, individual identity that focuses on universal human needs.
Together, we design spaces that build on the knowledge of the past and a vision for the future, creating timeless values that thrive in the present. With our in-depth and rich experience in philoxenia, we are honored to invite you to experience them in person.

‘The diversity of our hotels helps hospitality flourish.’

Our Values
Being a family business means leading by example and always looking toward the future. At Βluegr, we stand on solid foundations, with our core values deeply rooted across all aspects of our operations. Integrity, Accountability, and Justice have been the fundamental reasons behind our success.
We grow and improve by following the Stoic principle: ‘If we are what we repeatedly do, excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.’ With our principles at the center and our core values as constant guides, we strive for excellence beyond habit.
We see ourselves as vessels of life, embodying and expressing human needs. We value beauty for the soul’s benefit and simplicity for lasting endurance. Our goal is to serve as both a model and an archetype.

Our Heritage
Businessman George Mamidakis was born in Crete. Tireless and insightful, with a deep love for his homeland, he bought the Minos Beach Hotel at Mirabello Bay in 1974. At the time, it was the first deluxe hotel in Greece. He went on to acquire two more hotel complexes in the following years. A multifaceted personality, George Mamidakis stood out for his values, decency, gallantry, acumen, honesty, and inexhaustible humor.
A dynamic woman from a family of hoteliers, Aristea Mamidakis worked alongside her husband throughout their careers. She was strong and gentle, sweet and demanding, generous and practical, instilling the values of family, morality, and dynamic creativity in her two daughters, Marilena and Gina.
The family business continues to inspire for its entrepreneurial spirit, vision for hospitality excellence, love and support for the arts, and charitable contribution.
