meet asterion. designed for adults.

The son of a billion-star universe and the host of a five-star hotel, King Asterion represents a sanctuary where you can reign in your inner kingdom and expand the limits of your own universe.

King Asterion looms large in the mythology of Crete. As the island's first king, his long reign is associated with Crete's rich cultural heritage, while as husband to the Phoenician princess Europa and stepfather to her children fathered by the mighty Zeus, he embodies the island's outward-looking ethos and deep-rooted hospitality.

So, Asterion is the first King of Crete, the husband of Europa, and the stepfather of Minoas.
