Sweet cottage in Chanioporta
Our family really liked tis apartment, especially nice that there is everything for cooking!! This is very important! And the courtyard is great, very convenient! To the center 20 minutes walk, an interesting road. Good wifi, good bedding, beds. And pleasantness from the owner. Thank you!

Luxury Villa with Private pool next to sandy beach
The pictures don’t do this view justice. It’s breathtaking! The home is gorgeous and the outdoor space is wonderful. It was too cold for us to swim but we still enjoyed time at the beach. Most of the immediate area was already shut down for the season during our stay but there is a lovely area about a mile walk away. We spent a lot of time there enjoying the coffee shops and restaurants. The house and rooms were fantastic and there was more than enough space for everyone to relax. The host was amazing and went above and beyond to help us when we left some glasses at a restaurant. Thank you so much for a great stay!!

Siroco Apartment, 100 meters from the beach
Very nice place, as described by the owner.

Dion house 🏡🏡
We loved staying at Dion House, it was a beautiful,peaceful place a 5 minute walk from the beach. Athina was an amazing host, we were welcomed with wine and homemade pie, and Athina was always quick to respond and very helpful. She was also very accommodating for our 1 year old and had everything we needed. The only downside was that we went out of season so many of the nearby restaurants were closed. We were able to dive to some lovely restaurants, but places to eat within walking distance start to open after April. Overall an amazing stay!

Stalis Lux Beach Apartment
The apartment was ideally located, very close to the beach and restaurants, but we were not disturbed by any noise whatsoever. Plenty of space for a couple and a small child. The outdoor terrace has a good view of the sea. Magdalena was the perfect host, arranging transport to and from the airport and quickly responded to any questions we had. We basically had a very good time and will hopefully return in the future.

Evangelia Casa, comfy stay, centrally, with views!
An oasis of calm close to the seafront, harbour and old town. The house is beautifully renovated and as all that you need for your stay. Communicating with the owners was excellent & we got an instant response. It would have been helpful to have a bit more information about services in the immediate area especially grocery shops. Overall we had a lovely stay and would recommend to others.

Cosy house next to the beach
Matthaios's place is a really nice and well equipped private house with private garden, very-very close to the beach, in a calm and quiet environment, we liked it here a lot, came with a baby, she had super nice naps :) We got a lot of help from Matthaios, any question I had he responded accurately.

Steliana's House _Top Floor with Private Jacuzzi
Stella's home was absolutely stunning. Comfortable, beautiful decorated, and nestled in the hills overlooking stunning sea views. Stella's father met us upon check-in and we so appreciated all the personal touches. Stella also made every effort to accommodate us during the stay. Thanks again, and while I'm sorry we couldn't stay for the full time, I hope we can be back one day!

Attalos Studios with swimming pool
We were very pleased with our chosen space. The pictures corresponding to 1 to 1 of the apartment. The hostess was really friendly and easy to communicate with. We had nothing to complain about and would book again every time.

Georgia Seaside Villa Analipsis near the beach
We had the absolute pleasure of staying at Marios' villa, and we cannot recommend it highly enough. From the moment we arrived, Marios went above and beyond to make us feel welcome—I've never had a host as warm and accommodating as him. He helped us with our luggage, had drinks and snacks waiting for us at the villa, and immediately made us feel at home. Our conversations with Marios were a highlight of our stay. He is incredibly knowledgeable about Greece and other cultures, and we learned so much from him during our time there. He was also very communicative, checking in regularly to ensure everything was going well and offering great suggestions for things in the area. The villa itself was breathtaking right on the water with a stunning pool and garden. The location was perfect, centrally situated, and we enjoyed beautiful walks on the beach every day. We wish we could have stayed longer and are already planning our return to Marios’s villa.

New Villa HALO just 100m from the beach
Amazing place to stay and Jekaterina is the BEST host! She was so attentive to our needs and made such fantastic recommendations everyday, which made our stay even better. Thank you Jekaterina! We hope to see you again soon!

Private pool villa near a sandy beach
We will miss it. The house and pool were great. We had a wonderful time there. We also took the cats to our hearts right away.❤️ In 2 years we'll be back.

Fotini Anisaras Apartments "Α"
Only stayed for one night but this was a good place to stay. It is a bit small for two grown ups and two kids but if you keep things organized it's still a pleasant stay. WiFi was way too slow for remote work but connecting my laptop to my phone's hotspot saved the day. Maria was very friendly and helpful so this place is definitely a good option for couples and even families who don't need big indoor spaces.

Anasa Luxury Seafront Villa 2 with Heatable Pool
Perfect stay! Everything was clean and comfortable with lots of thoughtful touches. We will definitely be back the next time we visit Crete!

"Okirroi Villa 11" 2 Bdr Apt with Sea View & Pool
We stayed for 10 days with 6 people. Great service, very clean, Andreas, the manager was super kind and helpful. Only downside was the highly frequented road (even at night) right in front of the property. The kitchen equipment was sufficient for everyday cooking. All in all a great place to have a good time and enjoy Greek hospitality.

Khroma Luxury Suite 3 beach front apartment
Perfectly located right on the beach, it offered stunning views that were simply breathtaking. The host was incredibly friendly and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our stay. The apartment itself was spotless and well-equipped, with all the amenities we could ask for. The decor was inviting and made us feel right at home. Waking up to the beach front every morning was a truly magical experience. Overall, our stay was fantastic, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable experience in Crete.

Sea Aura Crete-family seaside house in Ag. Pelagia
We had a wonderful stay at Irene & Emmanouel's. The two hosts were very warm and helpful and were always available to help and advise. The children were able to go directly from the apartment to the beach and enjoyed this great child-friendly beach very much. The location right on the water is incredibly beautiful and you feel like you are on vacation in a few seconds. The apartment is just as great as described and has everything you need. We loved a fully equipped children's room, beach toys right outside the door and much more. Thank you so much for everything

Wide Sea Suites with heated jacuzzi
Giorgos’s place was just what we needed, really well looked after, relaxing and the jacuzzi was an extra bonus. The location is very peaceful and there is a nice little beach right across the road. We hired a car which was really beneficial and we could park right outside the accommodation. The accommodation was perfect, clean, pretty and had everything we needed. Giorgos was there when we needed him, quick to respond and friendly. Thanks for a great holiday!

Trinity Seaside Family Maisonette in Gournes
very nice everything, cozy house clean Bravo.

Beachfront flat with a panoramic view of the bay
Super nice bright and well decorated apartment. We felt at home. Lovely balcony overlooking the sea. Eva was there to greet us and explain about the apartment. There was free bread and various delicacies in the fridge. Quick, friendly, and welcoming communication with Eva. We can highly recommend the apartment.

Sea Waves 1 & 2
The host are super nice, always respond to app and ask if all is well (She had even baked brownies for us). In addition, the apartment is quite spacious and every room has air conditioning. The balconies are very nice to start the day with a beautiful view. The bathroom is also great, with a rain shower and even a washing machine. In addition, everything was clean and well arranged.

Apartment with garden by the sea
The place was very good, matching the descriptions and the photos. It is very easy to walk to the local beach or if you have a car, the drive to other beaches or the high road isn't long at all. The host was very helpful and super responsive to our messages. Great experience overall!

Seabliss Jacuzzi Suite with Hamam, Beachfront.
Great location, great hosts! A contact person on site at all times and fast communication. There are lots of free parking around the apartment. Gladly come again!
