76% of tourists want contact with nature. At the same time, in Crete alone, where the pilot phase begins, there were 43 million overnight stays last year. The “Star Sleep” online platform offers accessibility to a unique experience, as well as the possibility of contact with nature in an alternative and sustainable way. Usually, the opportunity to experience an overnight stay in nature is offered in exotic destinations, luxury hotels and luxury domes at high prices, making it out of reach. On the other hand, camping offers this contact with nature, but the quality of sleep is poor. The concept of the “Star Sleep” online platform is aimed at those who love nature and would like to experience an alternative outdoor experience. It is an online platform, where anyone who wishes can book the activity of spending the night in a comfortable luxury bed in an open space (openair), out in nature and experience the experience of a restful sleep under the starry sky. At the same time, Star Sleep Hosts are given the opportunity to register their unused private spaces. Thus they generate additional income, hosting tourists from Greece and abroad who wish to experience the original experience. Starting a business in the hospitality sector requires increased initial investment costs, unlike the start up business model. “Star Sleep” provides consulting services to Star Sleep Hosts for the security and setting up of their new business.

Welcome to our Star Sleep spot in Kaloniktis, a traditional Cretan village whose name means “Goodnight”—the perfect setting for your night experience under the stars. Nestled among olive trees on a family farm, this unique experience blends simplicity, comfort, and authenticity. Pick your own fresh avocados, relax in cozy seating areas, and follow the path to a secret view point for a magical sea view at sunset. Stargaze through your personal telescope, sleep in a fully equipped bed with mosquito net and ambient repellent light, and enjoy a fresh breakfast basket in the morning. Just a short walk from the village and a 15-minute drive from the city of Rethymno and the beach, this location offers the ideal balance between peaceful nature and cultural exploration.
