Destination MAXIM is back! In 2018 and 2019 we took models to five exotic locations including Thailand, Bali, Samoa and Mozambique, but when some nasty virus struck, we were forced to wind down our tours. So, this year when we received an invitation from the amazing Acro Suites in Crete, Greece we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to get Destination MAXIM back up and running. And what an AMAZING return tour it is!
Eleven models joined us at Acro Suites to experience breathtaking views, amazing weather, epic photo shoots and fun activities. Our first group of six (featuring Oliva, Bree, Stephanie, Nicole, Blair and Sara) took an amazing catamaran ride for their activity, while our second group of five beauties in Estelle, Cece, Sophie, Elizabeth and Alex, went horse riding in the Cretan moutains.
The accommodation was mind-blowing and the food was incredible to say the least, but most of all the staff were on a level we have never experienced before. Resort manager, Michalis left no stone unturned in his efforts to make us feel welcome, while Sami made sure we ran our schedule like clockwork and get to where we needed to be on time, every time. Michalis Junior, for want of a better name, even stepped in and modelled for MAXIM to help us create content for the resort. And a huge special thanks to Dimitris for all his help – nothing was too difficult for the staff at the stunning Acro Suites.
“As a sheer feat of engineering and design, Acro Suites is quite possibly the most exciting and bold new resort to open on Crete in recent memory.”
The largest of the Greek Islands, Crete is lauded for its stretches of beaches and vibrant local culture, blending the Greek way of life with influences from nearby Italy and more far flung North Africa. It’s a civilisation that began in 2000 BC, and is even thought to be the birthplace of Zeus. In modern times, the island has become more known for its tourism trade than Gods, although the slight sense of otherworldliness can still be experienced in the surviving Venetian fortresses and many hidden beaches. Today, Crete is a must-visit for jetsetters chasing the sun and visitors who enjoy the privacy and shelter of its famed cliffside resorts.
The breathtaking Acro Suites is the ultimate
