Chic Maisonette Sea View
Très jolie maisonnette avec une vue extraordinaire sur la mer, dont on peut profiter à tout moment des 3 terrasses (une en bas niveau cuisine/salon et une autre pour chacune des 2 chambres). Propreté impeccable, avec passage de la femme de chambre chaque jour. La communication avec Daphni avant la réservation, puis avant notre arrivée a été au top. Nous avons pu déposer nos bagages à midi en arrivant puis accéder à notre logement dans l'après-midi. Il est possible de se rendre à pied à ma plage de Voulisma (jolie plage, mais privée et bondée), mais également à d'autres magnifiques petites criques isolées et désertes. Les restaurants d'Istron ne sont pas les meilleurs de Crète, avec les terrasses donnant sur la route principale et sans vue, mais nous avons trouvé des restos très sympas, à quelques kilomètres.

Newly built beachfront penthouse
Lovely Penthouse apartment with gorgeous shared pool. Very comfortable and well equiped. Area is gorgeous. Access to lovely safe beaches was the easiest we have ever had. Andre recommended Car Plan for car hire who were also excellent Whilst we picked up the car at the airport thay had an office very close to the apartment which happily we didn't need to use. Gorgios and Stefania who were our local contacts were also extremely responsive and helpful. Thanks to everyone for helping to make our holiday special.

Beautiful Apartment,1-5 persons, 100m from the sea
The host was incredibly polite and hospitable throughout our stay. The apartments are conveniently located, with easy access to local restaurants and taverns. On one occasion, we encountered an issue with the tap, but the host promptly resolved it without any additional charges. Their excellent English skills and helpful resources were greatly appreciated. I wholeheartedly recommend this host and their apartments. You're sure to have a fantastic time during your stay.

Verano "Mar" Apartment_near the sea-free parking
Ich war für 8 Nächte mit meiner Freundin Anfang September vor Ort und es war überragend! Sowohl preislich als auch von der Lage ein absolutes Juwel 💎 Analipsi als Ort auch absolut empfehlenswert wenn man einen erholsamen und unvergesslichen Urlaub haben möchte - von tollen Restaurants mit Meerblick bis hin zu Griechisch traditionellen Tavernen in der Innenstadt und absolut warmherzigen Menschen - und das alles wenige Gehminuten vom Apartment entfernt! 🇬🇷 Das Meer war atemberaubend klar und der Sandstrand ebenfalls nur 5 Gehminuten vom Apartment entfernt! Es war einfach nur traumhaft morgens aufzustehen bei bestem sonnigen Wetter auf den Balkon zu gehen und den Anblick auf Palmen und dem Meer am Horizont zu genießen 🌊☀️ Alles was man benötigt gibt es vor Ort und auch die Anbindungen zu benachbarten Städten wie Chersonisos sind günstig und vielseitig 😁🙏🏽 Jederzeit würde ich das Apartment über Kallia erneut buchen! 🤝🏽 Lieben Dank für diese tolle Unterkunft und die einfache Abwicklung! 🫶🏽

The Splash
Marianthi is a very friendly host and the apartment is super nice being very close to the wonderful sea! We have been here for the second time and enjoyed every moment!

Verano "Oasis" Apartment_near the sea-free parking
Small but modern apartment, close beach at one side but also close restaurants, shops at the other side, our apartment (oasis) was at the back and was very quiet what we enjoyed so much, the apartment equipped with basic stuffs. Very clean and I can recommend this place. Our host, Stelios was very helpful and gave me plenty of informations, recommendation etc. Thank you and well done Stelios!

'ERONDAS' Stunning Seafront Apartment
We had a wonderful stay. The apartment has the best views. In the middle of everything you need in Plaka, great restaurants and shop 50 yds away. I will visit again next year again in October. Thanks Lilly.

The Host, 5 min from the beach
Die Unterkunft auf Kreta war einfach super und hat alle Erwartungen voll erfüllt. Die Wohnung war sauber, gemütlich und bestens ausgestattet. Die Lage war ideal, nah am Strand und zu guten Restaurants. Die Gastgeberin war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und würden jederzeit wiederkommen! Absolute Empfehlung!

Villa The Calm Of The Sea
Very private, no noise from neighbors. We hardly heard any noise from the traffic as the apartment is not directly on the road. We stayed for a week and spent much time on the incredible balcony: you can always find a space in the shade there. We loved the Galini beach nearby. only downside is that you have to walk for 200 meters along the road, as there is no footpath. There is a private beach closer by, but not everyone will be willing to climb down. It's doable for most people, but it is no walk in the park. If you like solitude, or if the Galini beach is too crowded, then certainly try to go the private beach. The WiFi in the apartment and on the balcony is good enough to stream video to one laptop. We had a tremendous time and certainly will come back some time in the future

Sunterra - sea front house with pool 2
Highly recommend! A quiet area, close to everything. We stayed here start of October with our 14 yr old and 3 month old son. The apartment looks like the photos, very clean andy tidy. Very comfortable bed, was huge 💛. We had asked for a cot, which was there. The pool was lovely, very refreshing, solar heated. We were the only ones using it, due to out of main season, an unexpected luxury. The beach is a mix of sand and stones, literally just outside the gate. Within 10 mins walk is a supermarket, pharmacies, a patisserie with huge pain au chocolates - highly recommend, they also had pastries (cheese and bacon, mushroom and ham etc). If you walk along the sea front for about 20mins get into Gournes which has several beach bars, and restaurants/ cafes, we went to Taverna ambrosia, very good even had a baby change area (not everywhere has these) and soft play at the back. It’s a 45 min walk to the Creta aquarium, definitely worth a see. Ioannis arranged several taxis for us.

The Wave House|Seafront Escape in Peaceful Mochlos
Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit in Mochlos. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und kommen bestimmt noch einmal mal wieder. Die Beschreibung der Ausstattung war, bis auf Kleinigkeiten wie fehlendes Öl, Salz, Pfeffer, sehr zutreffend. Danke für die unkomplizierte Kommunikation.

Milly's Village House
Es war das dritte Mal, dass ich in Millys House übernachtet habe, und es war einfach wieder wunderbar. ☺️ Lage, Unterkunft, schöne Nachbarschaft mit tollen Bars und Restaurants (und freundlichen Katzen) - es war alles sehr schön. Sehr guter Kontakt bzw. Verständigung mit dem Vermieter, auf Nachfragen wurde ganz schnell eingegangen. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen! Die Gegend ist ein Traum - und Millys House mit dem schönen Sitzplatz unter dem Baum davor ist sehr gemütlich. Danke und liebe Grüße, Petra & Jürgen

Villa Asterias sea-front House
wonderful stay!

Cretan Dream house by the sea
We had a great time in Mochlos, a really beautiful village, it’s still a hidden gem I would say. The apartment was lovely, cosy and comfortable, the bar next door was actually really nice and we sat there many times. Recommendation!

Amphitrite beach house (with private pool)
great place, perfect for a familh as well. A short walk to the beach and local taverns. A short drive to Agios Nicholas with great shopping and city walking.

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 😊

“Shiny” sea view apartment at Istron
We had a great stay! The apartment had everything we needed with a beautiful view from the balcony. Good location, just 15 min away from Agios Nikolaos. Would recommend!

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!

1 BR Renovated Apartment By the Sea-SummerMemories
Amazing place. Very private and quiet. Location is also great, lots of restaurants, bars and coffee shops to walk to. If I have the chance will definitely come back. Recommend it!

Sea Waves 1 & 2
De host zijn super aardig, reageren altijd op app en vragen of alles goed gaat (Ze had zelfs brownies gebakken voor ons). Daarnaast is het appartement vrij ruim en heeft elke kamer airco. De balkons zijn ontzettend fijn om de dag op de beginnen met een prachtig uitzicht. Ook de badkamer is super, met een regendouche en zelfs nog een wasmachine. Daarnaast was alles schoon en goed geregeld.

Cozy apartment
The apartment was tidy, free of clutter and clean. Simple but all the things needed and promised were available. Grateful for the welcoming tray and particularly the offering of Cretan oranges. The host was very prompt in their responses any time we have a question which was very helpful. I had been to a few more airbnb places in the previous days and this was the most comfortable bed I experienced that week. Please note that it is located up the hill so take this into consideration when planning to drive/walk there.

"Kyma Crete Beachfront"
The apartment is top renovated, perfectly located just next to the sea, with a perfect view over the sea and harbor. Perfect beach for swimming in the morning, or whenever required. Good style decoration, that fits the apartment very well. Well equipped kitchen, also with all the things required for cooking already there, salt, pepper, oil,… The best bed mattresses we have tried, which can sometime be a challenge when sleeping out. Very helpful host that received us, even though we arrived 0:30 in the night. This is not our last stay there.

Sunset home Crete 2
We loved our stay in Alex's apartment. Tris Ekklisies is a perfect peaceful seaside village, away from the crowds. The beach is so close and we loved the quiet side, finding a spot under a tree for the day. The sea is great for snorkeling and there are a few tavernas to choose from. The drive down the mountain is spectacular, we recommend Sunny Hill Cafe for a drink or some food on the way. The apartment was lovely, bright and comfortable. We hope to be back one day!

Sea-Si Luxury Home
Nous avons eu un véritable coup de cœur! Dimitra est une hôte exceptionnelle, elle incarne à merveille le sens de l'hospitalité et de l'accueil des Cretois. Alors que nous avons réservé pour une arrivée le soir même, elle s'est démenée pour trouver un lit bébé pour notre fille de 18 mois (le logement n'accueille pas d'enfant habituellement) et a multiplié les adorables attentions. Même sa fille de 10 ans a prêté ses peluches!! Nous avons été très touchés par cet accueil particulièrement chaleureux. L'appartement est parfait, superbe décoration, hyper fonctionnel, tres bien equipé et calme. Mention spéciale pour la qualité de la literie, très confortable! Sisi est une petite ville balnéaire très agreable, restaurant et commerces accessibles à pied. C'est de loin la meilleure expérience Airbnb que nous avons vécu, tout a été absolument parfait, sur tous les points. Merci Dimitra!!
