Great atmosphere and great service.

Vrahakia Apartment #2 at Marina Galatas
Been before. Love this place. Swim on the door step. Family run great welcome. It is beautiful and Georgio mum helped me with my tango dancing .. I was terrible !

Klea Apartment
Manolis is the perfect host, his apartment was impeccably clean and very well equipped. He had thought of everything, and left some goodies out for us to enjoy. The apartment is spacious and comfortable. And the view is really beautiful, we loved having our meals and evening drinks on the balcony. The only downside was the nightlife was a bit lively for us, and it did affect our sleep at times. However we would go back, but this time with ear plugs! Thank you Manolis for all of your amazing recommendations, and just generally for being so helpful. We hope to see you again one day .

Seafront Deluxe Apartment
This was our first time in with them know, and we were somewhat sold on Stratos offering because of it being a Seaview apartment. It was right across from the beach. It was well appointed clean modern two doors opening to the balcony that faced the ocean, a wonderful Nespresso machine with coffeejust great and Stratos met us when we checked in. We got to meet him in person. It was just a great overall experience.

Sea Waves Apartment 2
Super apartament with great location 🤩The hosts are very nice and they take care of every guests 😊 They also serve delicious wine!

Destino in the Venetian Port by 8essentially
The apartment is spacious and comfortable and the view is absolutely spectacular! Although it is rented through a company, communication was easy and responsive. The surroundings are very lively, so we expected some noise, but the windows are very well insulated, so it wasn’t bothersome. The location is hard to beat! We would definitely come back!

BlueWave Kalives/Beachfront house/Up to 3 Bedrooms
We had a really nice stay at Georgios place. Enjoying the seaside view while having breakfast on the terrace is amazing. The flat was clean and we found everything we needed. Would love to come back

The Wave House|Seafront Escape in Peaceful Mochlos
Maria was very responsive and accommodating to all of our needs! This was a beautiful place to stay, very safe and peaceful.

Vista Mare Villa Heated Pool
The villa is lovely and has everything you need for a holiday. Clean and well maintained. There was extra cleaning during the week. Great view of the sea and the mountains. The cars passing on the main road, which is 100m below the villa, create a slight noise, but it is not unbearable. Maria is a great host and despite the late evening time of arrival she was waiting for us with a smile. She took care of us all the time and gave us valuable advice. There was a problem with the dishwasher, which was fixed the next day as soon as I informed Maria. We had a great week and would come back again.

Sea-esta Beach House
villa is located in the centre, very close to the beach, restaurants. Nice people around, very helpful. Although sleeping is in a first floor, and kitchen, living room and a terrace is on the 2nd floor, it has sence, because of a beautiful view from terrace. we really enjoyed our 5 nights stay. Thanks a lot

VOTSALO
We had a lovely stay at Mapia's home, everything was what we were expecting with the added bonus of meeting Mapia's parents and other members of extended family. They were all available if we had any problems (we didn't) but not intruding at all. George another family member, introduced himself and we could go to him if we had any questions. A lovely relaxing holiday, thank you Mapia 😊

House on the beach with unique colors of sunset!
I stayed at Katerina's place with my wife and two daughters, 22 and 14 years of age, for a family holiday. The apartment is right next to the beach, and was everything we hoped for. It was spotlessly clean, and we weren't short of any amenities, the kitchen had everything you could want to make your own meals. Katerina was also very helpful recommending local tavernas, and places to visit. If you are staying here, a rental car is essential. Katerina and her husband George were also very kind, as we had fresh fruit from their farm, and some beer in the fridge, and also some gifts of wine and snacks. We all enjoyed our holiday and I can definitely recommend Katerina's place.

Beachfront house with an amazing view
Had an absolutely beautiful stay at this apartment. The location is absolutely perfect for a relaxing get away. The property is really well equipped and has everything you could need. Maria was super friendly, responsive and communicated really well throughout our visit. We visited just before the main season and Mochlos was quiet and sleepy, just waking up. You'll need a car if you want to explore the island from here. Cannot recommend this property enough - we just had the most lovely time.

Mochlos SeaView
Exceptional location, right in a small bay with lots of restaurants all around. Even in November, one or two were still open. Kitchen really equipped with everything you need; so also ideal for self-catering. Directly diagonally opposite there is a small mini-market that is open every day. Has balconies on both sides and a large sun terrace upstairs on the roof. Check-in and communication with Popi easy. I will definitely come back.

Orpheus House beachfront 2bdr panoramic view
I can see why Katerina is a super host -everything about our stay was absolutely perfect! We felt very comfortable in her place! We found it very convenient and yet peaceful! The view from her balcony was amazing! Katerina was very responsive and pro active ! I would stay here again if I were to visit Chania in the future!

Blue Sea Apartment
Chrisi is an excellent hostess! She was always helpful and always in a good mood and friendly. The apartment is perfect for excursions, but also perfect for the beach around the corner. In addition, there is everything you need to live and there is even a small bottle of Raki in the fridge to welcome you. We will come back here again!! Brigitte and Peter

1BR Renovated Apartment By the Sea
A great stay in a calm area of stalida. The beach is walkable from the apartment. There are two nice balconies to sit at, and one has shadow at all times on one of them which is very convenient in the heat. There is air condition in the bed room and a large fridge to keep stuff cool. The washing machine and stove are all new and clean. The street in front of the house is ok to park at, but there is no specific parking spots. The back balcony has a view to the sea and we really liked staying there in the evenings to chat. All in all a great stay.

Seafront apartment, 40m from the beach!
We spent four very nice days here. The view is really beautiful and in 10 minutes you can walk to a supermarket. In front of the house you could park well.

Seafront Luxury Suite
This place cannot be faulted, excellent host, we wanted for nothing. Great location for centre of town, easy walking distance to amenities, would come back here again without hesitation

Veranda Seaside with Private Jacuzzi
this was a fantastic location, while you're in a busy area the apartment is actually peaceful and relaxing, the jacuzzi is perfect, the views from the balcony are unbelievable and it's a great spot for sunbathing, eating, drinking and relaxing. everyone has been super helpful and communicative from the minute we booked, the shop being downstairs means they are there almost 24/7 if you need anything. from this location there's so many things to do, we went on a bus to heraklion and hired a car and highly recommend agios nikolaos but you can really make your trip whatever you want it to be. thanks for a lovely stay!

Between 2 beaches + lonely coast ❤️island studio
We really enjoyed being guest at Dimitris place. The apartment is very cosy and welcoming. The kitchen was very well equipped (oil, vinegar, spices, sugar, coffee).

Zen Townhouse - Infinity Seaview
The apartment is perfectly located to explore the island, you are in the center of the island, immediately on the highway (recommendation: before moving in, be sure to practice driving backwards to the mountain!!) and yet the apartment is very quiet and has a great view of the sea. Especially the small balcony directly above the sea appealed to us, even if it might be a little too hot/not shaded in summer. Here you can also quickly make friends with the 4 cats, who occasionally also drive the neighbor dog to whiteness. Those who are afraid of cats should prefer to look for another apartment with these attached specimens, cat lovers will love it. Marianna's mother is a good soul, bringing eggs from the in-house chickens as well as fresh fruit and vegetables. All in all for us the perfect place to combine exploring the island with relaxation.
