Find Places to Stay in Panormos in Rethymno on Airbnb

Visited at the end of the season. A great apartment, right in the centre of the village. The village winds down around midnight so there is zero issue of noise from the tavernas etc. I loved the view of the lighthouse and the harbour lights at night. Top tip, there is a local bus (20) that will take you into town. The buses are very cheap and run on time and terminate in the village. We packed lite and used the washing machine, powder was supplied and there is a rail on the balcony to dry items. Balcony catches the morning sun. Free sunbeds on the not too crowded beach. On a separate note, I'd recommend the jeep safari across the island, you will see them advertised locally. A great was to see the island. Bed is very firm. I loved the stone walls of the apartment. The village, in fact the whole island felt very safe. If you want a dark room at night there are electronic shutters (and bug screens). We really enjoyed being lulled off to sleep by the lapping of the waves.

It is a great flat to discover the island. You can see the sea trough the windows! The town is a little cute village with Greek charme Furthermore a great host! (:

Great apartment !!! Perfect location to the sea just go down the stairs excellent clean beach !!!! Free sunbeds))) I recommend this option to everyone.

We were a bit late due to hire car issues but Kostas came to meet us within ten minutes of when we messaged him on arrival and showed us around the apartment. The place itself has a great view out to sea, a little back from the main beachfront and overlooking a beachfront cafe. It's only a minute to the beach from the apartment through the cafe. It's right in the centre of the village, very close to a supermarket, bars, taverns, etc. It's a delight to sit out on the terrace in the morning with a coffee (or evening beer!). The only slight niggle would be that you can hear the other occupants in the neighboring rooms quite a bit, on arrival we heard the Russian guests next door 'enjoying' themselves, but only that once. What are honeymoons for I guess! Would definitely stay again. Thanks Kostas!

Place is in perfect location! Great view, right by the water, very family oriented location! The entire area is super friendly and everyone wants to make sure you have a great time. The apartment is perfect! Highly recommend!

Very nice apartment, see view, literally 20meters from the beach (calm, not crowded at all, quite clean, free beach lounge chairs), well equipped, with 2 beds, air conditioning, see view terrasse... The village is calm and pretty, the locals adorable, good food in restaurants. Perfect if you’re looking for a quiet time in Greece, just to relax.

Kostas's single-room is spacious, quiet, well-kept and perfectly equipped. Clean especially. Everything is known again, including the electric drop-down wooden shutters that provide the darkness necessary for better sleep. Super comfortable double bed. Terrace ideal for breakfast with sea view, really at twenty meters. Panormos is an ideal village for those seeking tranquility, the Vinzi coffee house under the house deserves at least a stop. Everything is absolutely recommended.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Highly recommend! Great Host.

Really great airbnb experience! Quick communication and really hospitable host. Lili was nice person to deal with, she wait for our arrival till late and welcomed us with some fruit and refreshment in the kitchen. Place was very clean, quet, just in front of the sea. it takes 2minutes and you are at your own private beach :) we rent a car, local beach are not very clean. 10minutes from best beach we found here - Spilies beach, we recommend! Thanks Lili and Valia

Apartment where you feel right now

I highly recommend.

Lily's appartment offers a really good experience! As a family of 3 with a 18 months we found everything necessary at our disposal when we arrived. The garden is lovable, you can stay and admire the amazing sunset while the kids are playing with the facilities or enjoy a barbecue. If it's not enough, you can also swim into the swimming pool of the residence. Also, Lily's provided us with fresh fruits, local pastries and her husband helped starting their barbecue (too bad for him, he doesn't eat chicken lol). Their hospitality was remarkable ! The location itself is central between Heraklion and Chania, Rethymno is 20 mn away by road. The city of Panormo is 2 km from the appartment where you can find daily stuff, Bali is approx 6/7 km where you can find cristal clear beaches. We would definitly recommend these host to anyone who look for a family stay in Crete.

Very well received apartment very clean and complete gigantic pool with sea and mountains views. We keep very good memories of our stay on the ridge. Thank you for your welcome and your advice.

A great apartment, with a sea view and a well equipped garden for young children (our 2 year old daughter loved it), and well located (10 minutes walk from the center of Panormos.) Lili the owner lives next door and will take take care of you, little basket at our arrival as well as homemade cakes from time to time.

We stayed for 10 days with our 1 yr old daughter. We can not fault anything about the apartment. It was exactly as described, if not better and the view is superb from the upper patio/garden. It was ideal for us as the town has everything you need, friendly locals, supermarkets and lots of lovely restaurants. The beach is sheltered, ideal for swimming and you can rent 2 loungers and an umbrella for just €8 (or free if you order €8 from the cafe) Valia and Mrs Lili were great throughout and always on hand if needed. The pool was fantastic, generously sized and clean although we mainly went to the beach. Needless to say, we loved it and was perfect for our first family holiday.

7 nights spent with our 3 1/2 year old daughter, me pregnant Perfect hiring: ground with games and loungers, swimming pool in 1mn, beach in 10 small mn and 15 for the village: all that on foot Location on top And the friendliness of Lily ... fabulous person with advice and help !!! Avenante and always small attentions ... Far from the atmospheres of tourist factories !!! The TOP

Lovely completely cozy house for 2 or 4 people! Good beds, nice big couch, complete kitchen, clean, cozy, fresh decor. Everything present, hair dryer, shower stuff, hat, bag, outside seats, coffee, uzo, overall great stay! Swimming pool within walking distance, beach to lie a little further, but also doable on foot, sea view. Top location, we rented a car from the airport! Fine restaurants in the village, nice bakery, supermarkets, coffee places!

Diogenis’s place is even better than the pictures; the terrace overlooking the sea is the perfect spot to watch the sunset, and we found the nearby village of Panormos to be full of plenty of great restaurants & bars. We would definitely recommend this apartment and hope to be back in the future!

Very nice place for those who love peace and nature Beautiful walks to do nearby We recommend

The apartment is amazing. Nice amenities, very clean and an exceptional view of the sea which is at the foot of the apartment. Quiet area, the pool is nearby and is uncrowded. The accommodation is 20 minutes from Rethymnon which is a beautiful city. The accommodation is 10 minutes walk from the village of Panormos which is very cute and where you will find several markets and other shops. You can also enjoy a drink in the bars and restaurants of the small harbor. I will come back to Diogenis obviously.

Very nice apartment in panormos. The sunset views are fantastic. The apartment is well set up with everything you need, including a toaster, coffee maker, electric kettle, general cooking supplies (spices, sugar, oil), washing machine, cleaning supplies, and chairs & umbrella for the beach. There is separate air conditioning in each room, so you don’t have to cool the entire apartment at night. The shared pool is nice and clean, not too busy either. It is about 15 min to walk in to the village. Some of the shutters need to be fixed, but otherwise the apartment is great.

Very nice and completely furnished apartment with a sensational view! There is really nothing missing in this accommodation! We felt very comfortable and would love to come back.

Very nice apartment in accordance with the photos presented. We had a great time eating our meals facing the sea. We had a total of 4 terraces which was very nice. The apartment is cozy, tastefully decorated. The air conditioning in both bedrooms and the living room can withstand the heat at night. A dream apartment really. Note we have a swimming pool common to some apartments. The surrounding environment is not exceptional, however. Panormos is a nice little seaside resort but for lovers of beautiful beaches, it will be necessary to go to other corners of the Crete. Remains a very nice base for visiting Rethymnon and the hinterland.

Very well located. Clean apartment with terrace, pool and air conditioning! We had a nice time there, I highly recommend :)

Clean and modern, nice apartment. Very large bed :)

Great place in amazing location! Beautiful terrasse a

The village of Panormo was the first on our trip. A great place to come to your senses after a flight and understand that you are in Greece. Calm, beautiful. The apartments are great. All new. The only negative is a stiff mattress, but if you wish, you could take a blanket from the closet and sleep on it. Irini and Manoli are very welcoming and open. Thank!

The place is brand new looking, everything is clean and new, the area is most beautiful, close to the beach and the romantic view of the small village with its streets. The host was propmt and helped us in need, i definitely recommend this place, simply beautiful!

We had a wonderful time at Manolis apartment! The location is perfect and in the middle of Panormos, but still quiet enough. The apartment is very clean and the apartment was cleaned quite a few times during our stay (11 nights) which we did not expect. The terrace is amazing and you just share it with the guest of one other apartment. Overall the value for money is outstanding. We would definitely recommend staying there!

For the money charged, this is a fantastic place!

Great studio, clean and well placed!

A nice studio, with a small beach a few meters and restaurants by the beach, I highly recommend! There was just the bed which was not very comfortable ..

Elena's apartment is almost newly built and in a good location

Our stay at Elena went very well. The accommodation is consistent with the photos, the location very quiet with a beautiful view. Elena is very attentive and accommodating. The village of Panormos, very well located, we have reserved beautiful gastronomic surprises, there are shops, shops, ... all you need! To discover !

We arrived at eleven in the evening with a slight delay. Throughout the journey, communication with Elena was impeccable, providing us with all the information we needed to reach the house. Friendly and professional welcome, making us find a small welcome such as a typical Greek dessert and a homemade grappa. Cozy house equipped with all the necessary services. Optimal cleaning. The house has a discreet terrace from which you can see the sea. A few hundred meters away there are restaurants, markets and small shops. Located in a tranquil setting. At 20 min. by car you are in the center of Rethymno. We would like to underline Elena's willingness to provide us with contacts to rent a car. Thanks Elena for hosting us. Highly recommended.

Very nice apartment at the end of a dead end, not a sound around. The pool is very clean and the sea is 20m The village is 15 minutes walk, lots of nice and family friendly restaurant in the small streets.

Ntina's apartment is very spacious, clean and nice. We were very well received. The view from the small terrace is beautiful. The access to the communal pool is quite nice (towels available in addition to towels). We visited a lot which allowed us to find more spacious beaches because around the apartment, the beaches are small but they still allow to bathe. The village of Panormos is very cute but for more festive evenings, I suggest you go to Rethymnon which is a very lively city with pretty little streets with bars, restaurants and many shops (20/25 minutes by car) . We loved our stay;)

The apartment was ideally situated for our needs. The outside area was perfect for the two of us and gave sunshine at breakfast and a view of the spectacular sunsets in the evenings. Panormo is a comfortable 15 minute walk and has a lovely atmosphere. A perfect place to finish off each day. Check out Gironimos and Elias Cafe bar for great food, drink and hospitality whilst you watch the world go by. Panormo is a great location if you're driving as it gives you easy access to all the main attractions in the north and easy access to the south of the island, between 15 and 1hour 15min away I recommend: Arkadi Monastery for a flavour of local history in a beautiful tranquil setting. Livadi Beach (and Taverna). On the turnoff just before the busier Bali beach (15 minutes by car from Panormo) a quiet and relaxed family run place with great food. Preveli/Plakias area (south). The drive through the gorge to the south of the island offers spectacular views. Preveli was quite an experience walking down (then up) the steps to the beach. Not for the faint hearted, but a great challenge. Chania is best for the Market day lovers and has a pretty, bustling old town and Venetian Harbour. Knossos gives a great sense of time and place and insight into Minoan life, though too many guided tours made it feel a bit overcrowded and conveyor belt culture at times. However, combining this with the Archaeological Museum in Herkalion is a must (€16p.p for both sites within a 3 day period). The museum has a vast, well curated collection of artefacts from Minoan and Cretian history. Well worth a visit and a good way to spend a hot afternoon in the shade. Rethmyno is a great all rounder with something for everyone: endless beach, lovely harbour and old town. Visit the Fortress/ruins at the end of the day for beautiful views, it doesn't have lots of tourist information but if you like exploring old ruins then it's perfect and worth €4 to have access.

The apartment is very well located. We loved watching the sunset every night from the terrace. The swimming pool is perfect for refreshments after the days when we discovered the island by car. The accommodation is spacious, well equipped and Ntina is a dedicated host, attentive and responsive in her responses. We highly recommend this accommodation!

Ntina is very forthcoming and even picked us up from the busstop! We highly recommend her and her apartments.

Ntina is a perfect host the apartment was very clean and in a perfect location.

Ntina was very responsive at the solicitation very welcoming

The apartment was perfectly equipped. After only two minutes on foot you reach a small beach with stones, after 10 minutes two sandy beaches. The village center is about 12-15 minutes walk. There is everything you need. Ntina gave us fruit, bread, ham, cheese, juice, etc. to welcome, which was a perfect start to a relaxing week. Many Thanks!

We had a great stay!

Delightful apartment with all we needed for our overnight stay. Tastefully furnished and spotlessly clean in a very quiet part of the village. We are only sorry that we couldn't stay longer.

The apartment was very nice. The host was very friendly and gave us many informations about restaurants and shops in Panormos. The beach was very good for snorkeling and swimming.

Clean and convieniently located. Sea view

This is a comfortable 2 bedroom apartment with great views from the front balcony. It is located in a charming village with friendly people and fabulous restaurants. There are some interesting day trips out from this location. Great communication with our host. Thank you.

A great location ... a very nice place ... nice and reliable on-site support ... gladly again

Excellent location, spacious and well equipped, ideally located, with a nice shaded terrace with beautiful views of the harbor and the sea. The village of Panormo is small and very nice and perfect for a family holiday. Our hosts are considerate and available, as welcoming and warm as all Cretans. We highly recommend this rental, we came back delighted.

The apartment is simple but comfortable, very well located with beach, restaurants, and supermarkets nearby. It is a very good starting point to visit the east and south east of the island. Thank you Sinya 1

Everything was OK. It is nice place. The apartment is located near the beach. The apartment is very comfortable, clean, new furniture. We really liked it.

We had a wonderful stay at Sinya. Sadly we could not meet her in person, but she had everything organised for our Arrival (key, cleaning, some cold water in the fridge) and even helped us with booking a car! The appartment is located directly at the Harbour with a very nice beach, good for Kids as there are no bigger waves behind the Harbour wall. We loved the nearby (especially Makis, with the wonderful home made food and Barba Andreas with the best view on the sea), the bakery and the atmosphere in general. The apparment was clean - it was so great to be able to take a shower directly after the beach ;) Looking Forward to be there again, Ingo

Sinya greeted at home warmly. He prepared for us traditional Greek lunch / delicious feta cheese /. She was very helpful and communicative, warm and hospitable. The view from the balcony not to tell and sound of the sea. We highly recommend her guest house.

All perfectly!

The house: This is a two storey building with a large sunny terrace, two bedrooms in the second floor and a large kitchen + living room in the floor. Every thing is clean and well kept. The location in the village: This house is located in directly in the center of the village. When you step out of your door you see an snack bar (gyros, dakos etc.) and a proper supermarekt right on the other side of the street. 50m further down to the harbor are about 10 really good restaurants and some classy tourist shops. Beaches: There are mainly two beaches: One directly in the little harbor (5 min. by foot). My kids (13 and 15) loved the shallow water and the opportunity to jump from the quay. My husband preferred the second beach (10 min. by foot) which is more oben to the sea with rough cliffs and larger waves.

The House with 2 floors, living room and kitchen at the 1st floor. 2 bed rooms and huge balcony on the 2nd floor. we were there for a week 2 adults, 2 kids. The house was perfect for us, all the thing we needed (kitchen tools, towels). Markos was so pleasant and help with all our needs. The main advantage is the location, close to both beaches, supermarket in front of the house, and of course the Gyros in Sakis (next to the supermarket) - don't miss!! We were sorry that we didn't stay for another week. highly recommended.

The accommodation is exactly as described! Family friendly in the heart of Panormos. Everything you need is within a 2 minutes' walk (Panormos is very lovely, with some nice alleys, restaurants and shops to explore). As we have to children, the terrace worked perfectly for us. Also the toys which were ready for use. The hosts, Maria and Markos, had some food prepared for us (bread, water, fruits, noodles and a lot more) - thank you very much! A biiig thank you to Marko for the check-in, as he waited all day long for us to arrive. Highly recommended for everyone, with or without children.

Lots of space, nice big sunny terrace. For the children it has toys. The house is very well located, in the middle of the beautiful village Panormos near the beach.

Panormos is a pretty little village, the house with a beautiful terrace is very well located geographically and the interior is spacious. Maria is welcoming and warm, always good services.

A large, lovely house right in the bustling heart of Panormo. Maria was very helpful.

Highly recommended!

Recommend 10/10 if you want to have a wonderful time with your partner. Especially when It's super hot outside you are gonna love it. Spa is amazing addition to the apartment. I hope we come back soon :)

My girlfriend and I stayed in the apartment for a week. We had an incredibly great stay. Already at the reception we knew - here we are right! Many thanks to Laura & Chris for this wonderful accommodation! Also the place, Panormos, has a lot of charm and is recommended by me, especially towards the end of October / beginning of September. Then something less is going on and you can really switch off and enjoy the peace in the small village. Highly recommended!

Stunning apartment in the center of Panormos. House is little but Perfect for a few days. All services near by and also a good range of bars and restaurantes. For us was a good Very recommended

Nice building！easy access，about 2mins to the beach!

Great spot inside and outside. If you are looking some special, quite place, with local spirit- this is it. The pictures says only half truth, probably you will have no time to stay in apartment, because you cannot miss the evenings on Panormo streets, especially Stephanos cafeteria across the street. This is big added value. Also apartment have high standards, everything what you need. Everything was well prepared, including clear instructions and guidance. Panormo it is small village with harbour and 3 small beaches, many good tavernas, local shops and more. If you don't like busy towns, this place is for you.

A great small apartment with everything you need for a perfect short stay. Very restful sitting by the small pool in the evenings. Loved every minute!

What a stunning space this is. The craftsmanship of the interior is breathtaking. the kitchen has everything you could possibly need, there is a large comfortable lounge area, and a really cute mezzanine bedroom. The bathroom is very small but perfectly formed! Bear in mind that you don't have your own balcony or terrace. The large jacuzzi pool just outside the front door, but built within the building structure, is very welcome after a hot day at the beach. The hosts are excellent and all the bar and restaurant owners nearby are the friendliest we have ever come across! We are sure to return to Parnarmos!

This is the most amazing place. The spa pool was just beautiful and so refreshing after a hot day. The location is also wonderful. In the morning it is very close to the bakery or coffee shops, during the day only a few minutes from the beach and in the evening there are tavernas on every corner. Everything was how we expected, if not better. We arrived to a lovely hamper with some essentials. The place itself is very clean and well equipped with everything you need. Before we arrived we received lots of useful information. When we arrived we were met at the villa and during our stay Cheryl and Stefanos were in hand if we needed them. All in all a lovely holiday in the perfect place. Thank you. :)

The host met us on arrival and explained all we needed to know, also providing a welcome pack. We had a fabulous stay in the beautiful harbour town. Would thoroughly recommend this property and host.

This is a fantastic place with close proximity to local supermarkets and restaurants...and you can see from the pictures how close the sea is... We were grandparents, two grandchildren and me staying for six nights. As soon as we arrived Grandma said “this is lovely...I could sit in the garden for the whole stay and watch the view.” Of course, we didn’t do that as the village was just a few hundred metres walk so we could easily get in for coffee, shopping and dinner. The three bedrooms are all en suite and very well appointed and clean. That made for an easy and comfortable stay. The girls enjoyed the pool too, even in October. For a great accommodation and convenient location this is a strongly recommended villa.

Stylish villa in a great location with very helpful and responsive host. Highly recommended.

We stayed at the villa for 2 weeks. And we really enjoyed our staying! Villa is very clean, new and you can find everything you need for your comfortable staying. There is enough space for 4+ people, very comfortable beds, air conditioner and very fast WiFi. BBQ zone and pool (which is cleaned every morning) will help you to enjoy your time outdoors. Also you can admire the best sea view just from your window (the beach is very close to the villa so we went there every morning аnd when we wanted ). The village of Panormo is the best location for relaxed vacation. It looks rather authentic so you can feel the atmosphere of Greek village but at the same time all the facilities can meet your demands (supermarkets, restaurants, bars, souvenir shops, taxi and bus stations). Also we want to admit that the host Argiro was very helpful and with her help our vacation was magnificent! Looking forward to come back and to spend another wonderful holiday there!

Argiro’s home is wonderful!!! The setting is amazing and it is super close to town. We would absolutely stay here again!

Dream villa in a beautiful village, great for R&R with the family (were 6). Quiet area and slept amazingly well! Would highly recommend!

What a beautiful space! Everything about this stay was perfect :) The space is large, clean and stylish. The pool is amazing and the lounge chairs are great. The entire space is gorgeous, from the archways outside to the flowers and greenery. Next door is a brand new church that is breathtaking. You can see the sunset and the ocean from the villa. You’re also a very short walk to the downtown area of Panormos which has a beach, little stores and some restaurants. A short drive from Rethymno if you’re looking for a bit more nightlife :) We loved our stay and we can’t wait to come back! We hope to make this a tradition!

We had an amazing stay at Villa Louisa. The house is very spacious and clean. Also the location was perfect; near to the beach and the main streets of Parnomos (with lovely small shops and nice restaurants). Argiro is a nice and accomodating lady, she even helped us getting in touch with a local doctor. We had a fantastic holiday!

We really enjoyed ! great location and pleasant hospitality

Excellent hospitality, perfect location, very nice place.

The apartment was perfectly located and with magnificent views. All consistent, I recommend !!

We spent one of the best holidays at Penelope House . The house is perfectly located both for the local activities as well as for exploring the northern Crete atractions, both Knossos at Heraklion and Balos Lagoon past Chania. The amenities are all as described by the owner. What differentiates any house from best to fabulous is its owner and hospitality it provides to its newly met guests. This is what exactly Penelope offers, baking fresh cheese pies, giving her heart out open. Definitely to recommend to anyone for fantastic Greek holidays.

Penelope Home is very comfortable and fantastic for families. We were impressed with the fact they had thought about stair gates, bed rails to protect toddlers, high chairs etc. Tina gave a very friendly welcome when we arrived. Lovely location across the road from the beach. The house was cleaned half way through our visit, much appreciated! Great facilities. Penelope came to speak to us, a kind and friendly host! We had a super week! The terrace is a real delight!

The six of us arrived late in the evening but where promptly met at Heraklion airport with a car service that Kostas had kindly helped us set up. The hour drive to Panormos and Penelope Home was quick and smooth. Once we arrived we were met by Ntina who showed us around the apartment and helped us feel right at home. They ensured we had coffee and food for the morning. Our week at Penelope Home was exactly as we had hoped for. Panormos was peaceful and friendly with delicious food everywhere we went. There was easy access to the public bus which could take us to Rethimno for nights out or some more touristy destinations. We organised a day trip to Samaria Gorge with one of the local travel agencies. Across the road was a nice, quiet beach with a friendly cafe up top. We took a stroll one evening up the path towards the graveyard and watched the sunset. The views were absolutely amazing everywhere we went. We had plenty of space and sun at Penelope Home. The sheets and towels were changed halfway through the week. Those that slept in the upstairs bedrooms did not have much access to the wifi and downstairs we would have to restart it now and then to get connection. Penelope and all the holiday advisers were incredibly kind and attentive. Everything was clean and felt very comfortable in the home. We used the barbecue one evening which worked quite well. Overall, we had an absolutely wonderful and relaxing stay at Penelope Home. I will definitely be recommending to friends and family, if not to return myself one day as well.

We rested at the Villa Penelope Home in May 2019, and our vacation exceeded all possible expectations! Wonderful home with all modern comforts, good repair, necessary things, a lovely backyard with barbecue area and excellent location. Our group consisted of 7 adults and 3 children from 9 months to 3 years, and we all lived comfortably in a villa. It should be noted that the house is really completely ready to receive guests (we found everything in it, starting with washing powder and capsules for a dishwasher and ending with a lot of little things for a beach holiday and a children's car seat). In the village of Panormo there are grocery stores, a good bakery, a butcher’s shop (unfortunately it did not work during our holiday), many taverns and restaurants. Separately, we want to advise the Akira tavern near the villa and the Kastro tavern, located at the end of the village, near the hotels. The villa itself is located at a convenient equidistant distance from the cities of Heraklion and Chania. Many thanks to the owner of the house, Penelope, for the warm welcome, delicious homemade cakes, for the presented souvenirs and in general for our wonderful holiday!

We cannot express enough how welcoming and amazing Penelopi and her home are. Perfect small village with amazing beaches, restaurants & shops. Food & wine was fresh and cheap! Lovely kitties everywhere. We enjoyed every moment of our stay with our 13 month old, and extended family. Kostas was very responsive to all our questions. We would love to visit again.

We stayed at the beginning of April 2019 for a week in this accommodation. As usual, when booking accommodation through Airbnb, careful selection and viewing of offers was the order of the day. Furthermore, we had deliberately chosen a place between Heraklion and Rethymnon, so Panormos was ideal for us. A "problem" of Crete are the great distances: to see a few of the highlights in a week, you tear off quickly 1,000 kilometers .... you should therefore inform in advance what you would like to look at. From the previous reviews, we knew that this accommodation had been rated extremely well, which we can now very well confirm. From the beginning of the booking we were well looked after and informed, the handover worked perfectly (although we arrived shortly before midnight) and - the big "highlight": it was still warm food and a bottle of wine waiting for us (everything went up Cost of the house). In short: the start was successful and the following days confirmed the good impression. A few of the things we really liked: lots of space, four bedrooms (the fifth bedroom is for emergencies) and 3 bathrooms. So especially when you are not traveling with your family, but with friends there is enough space for some privacy. The roof terrace is of course great - here every morning we have our breakfast (overlooking the harbor). This should also be possible in the summer, because the terrace faces north and is also covered, ie even in the summer months it should never be overly hot here. Oh yes (important for the traveling young people): at least on the main floor, the Internet connection was good and fast enough (about 30 Mbit), in the upper floor, however, the signal dropped sharply. And when it came to the last evening, our hosts appeared, inquired after our health and handed us a small farewell present - that matched the invariably good impressions.

The apartment is located directly on the sea. Panormos is the starting point for many great excursions. Please do not miss the sunset from the opposite lighthouse. Go towards the cemetery and just go uphill through the cattle gate. The decor of the apartment left nothing to be desired and Penelope received us with homemade cheese bags and raki. The cleaning lady came in between, as in the hotel. Great!!!

You can expect a great house with plenty of room. Fabulous decks and an excellent location. We loved it!

From the first moment we felt ourselves at home in cozy, stylish, comfortable, brand new and super clean house of Menelaos! The location is fantastic: 30 seconds to the nearest beach with free sunbeds, 1-2 min to all stores and tavernas and 7 min to the bus stop, so you don't need a car to feel happy )! Before i was a bit worried that such a central location would be very noisy but Panormo is just a paradise village for us: small, quiet, peaceful, picturesque, not that touristic, with friendly people making you feel a local one. It was a bit crowded and loud only on Saturday night. The house of Menelaos has a small and super cozy back patio, where we liked to spend our slowly mornings drinking coffee and relaxing in the shadow of vine. A pretty good house layout gives you some sense of privacy and allows you not to hear through the wall the snoring of other members of your company ). We traveled not in a high season so we almost didn't hear neighbors as well. Menelaos and his mother were just the perfect hosts: super helpful, hearty and hospitable! We arrived late at night but they met us with welcome homemade drink and sweets, shown us around the house and neighborhood, gave us the best advices and presented us the homemade olive oil, tea, extremely delicious jam and rakia! In addition we found in the kitchen all needed spices, sugar, water and coffee. Menelaos was available 24 hours a day and ready to help us with all our needs! We learned from him that in Panormo sometimes in the morning you can buy a fresh fish directly from fishermen's boats, that on Thursdays there is a market with local foodstuffs in Rethymno etc. All that we were missing is only some place for grilling in patio to be able to cook fresh fish and nothing more. We were absolutely happy in this wonderful house and already planning to COME BACK!

Menelaos is a wonderful host and met us with homemade lemonade, baked goods and lots of kindness. The house was spotlessly clean and located in a charming village. Communication with Menelaos has been very simple, and he always responds immediately. We who traveled are a family of two adults and four children. We are happy to return and can highly recommend the house and the place.

Great apartment with nice backyard and super location. Nice little village with nice beaches and good tavernas. Recommended.

Excellent location , excellent host and sparkling clean house. We couldn’t have asked for more!

We had a fabulous time staying at Leny’s seaside house. I HIGHLY recommend staying here! We were treated with warm smiles from Leny and his mother, hand-squeezed lemonade and fresh pastries soon arrival (totally unexpected and greatly appreciated!). The hosts were exceptional and assisted us immediately when we had questions or needed some assistance. You could not ask for better! The home is modern and finished with all the amenities you could want/ask for. AC units in all 3 bedrooms and the living room, refrigerators and a fully stocked kitchen with any dish, pot, pan, utensil you could ask for. There was a coffee maker and small espresso machine that saved my life (jet lag, lol). The bedrooms were very spacious and comfortable. They even brought in a pack ‘n play baby cot and high-chair for knowing we had baby. There was a washing machine which came in handy and a drying-rack on the patio. My husband and I enjoyed some quiet time on a small balcony off our bedroom which overlooks part of the harbor and Mediterranean. The location is exceptional if you want to enjoy the bustle of a smallish Cretian village. There were many tavernas and markets within walking distance and a small beach that wasn’t very busy. The beach is within the harbor, so the waves are small and perfect for small children to play safely. I searched for months for a place to stay during our trip to Crete. I kept coming back to this house and I’m so happy we stayed here, our visit was made even better by outstanding hosts! Thank you Menelae (and mom!)!!

Menelaos is the best host anyone can have! Very cooperative and cooperative, with instant answers to his messages! Its home is excellent and beautiful, with attention to every detail. As for cleanliness, something very important to me, it was impeccable! Generally very good experience I hope in the future to relive it!

Just turned back from Panormos, beautiful Crete village, where we spent two exceptional weeks. Leny’s house is the best place I’ve ever rented at Airbnb. It is even better than you can see on the pictures. 30 sec from the beach with free sunbeds, 5 min from the beach where you can enjoy all the water entertainments: parachuting, waterbikes, etc. Beautiful authentic taverns just round the corner. We didn’t even want to leave the house and the village to explore the island! It’s our third time in Crete, and this was the best for sure! House is absolutely gorgeous - cosy, stylish, bright, homey. There were four of us, and we it can easily fit six. Lovely garden for evening cocktails and sunny terrace for morning bath takings! The kitchen is fully equipped, looks like everything is brand new. We were met by Menelaos and his lovely mother, who welcomed us in the house and showed everything. Menelaos was always in touch, ready to help with any issues! So great place, great home, great hosts! 5 star vacation!

If you search a calm and beautiful place for your holidays Panormo is the good choice. And Menelaos house is the place to be for good holidays. Good equipments and very clean house. Near the beach and not too far the village center. We appreciate also the warm welcome and attention of Menelaos at our arrival. Yannick and Rachel

Great view..On the sea 2 minutes by car ... A large and spacious apartment with all the amenities to make you feel at home.

Very modern, new and cleverly furnished apartment in a wonderful house. The host very friendly. We were very satisfied.

The stay was perfect, the house is new and clean, in a very good position for visit the north part of Crete. Aris and his family, especially grandma Maria, show us a great hospitality, they are been super generous and kind, highly recommended!!

We came to Panormo for a few days and had an delightful stay with Manolis. The town is gorgeous, the people very friendly and Manolis is simply the best host ever. He is always there to help and to welcome. We would love to come back and highly recommend Manolis' appartments. His restaurant is also amazing. We would love to come back!

Manolis was the perfect host. He upgraded us to a 2 bedroom apartment for free. He and his family were friendly and welcoming. The apartment was as it looked in the pictures and had lovely wooden furniture. The apartment was cleaned every day and the sheets and towels were changed during our stay. The area was lovely. It was very safe and the people were really friendly. We ate at the taverna a few times. The food was delicious and very cheap. Manolis was a more than generous host going out of his way to help us. Thank you Manolis for making our week at Panormos so memorable. We will recommend you to our family and friends and look forward to returning in the future.

Manolis met us at the bus stop (we didn't rent a car, which we recommend highly if you can) and took us to the apartment. There were refreshments waiting that were refilled every day. He also has a restaurant on site, and we were treated like kings. Him, his sons, and all of the staff went out of their way to accommodate us. The beach is easily a short walk away as are other tavernas, stores, and shops. Highly recommend staying here.

It was all perfectly spotless with incredible views and the hosts really showed what Greek hospitality has to say ...

Exceeded expectations! Zaharoula and Dimitrious are wonderful and generous hosts and made our family feel extremely welcome to their lovely holiday apartment. The apartment was very spacious inside and it allowed the four of us to spread ourselves out without feeling squashed. We had one open living, dining, kitchen area, two double bedrooms (both en-suite) and two balcony areas. The building is designed in such a way as to provide plenty of shade from the sun to keep it cool but there is A/C should you require it. The kitchen was well equipped and everything was immaculately clean when we arrived. Zaharoula provided us with beach towels so we could avoid adding to our luggage and they also provided an inflatable for my daughters to take to the beach. In fact, Zaharoula and Dimitrios provided so many unexpected little touches that we were made to feel special. For example, Dimitrios took both myself and my daughters to visit his farm animals and areas where he grows produce, keeps his bees (we stayed at a safe distance!), collects herbs and showed us how he makes his honey. He also recommended visiting the local Klados Winery which was a great afternoon. The location of the apartment is just a couple of minutes by car away from the main north Crete road and made it convenient to visit local places and beaches. Within walking distance is a small village shop and a number of lovely local tavernas. In summary, our holiday experience was profoundly affected by the hospitality we were shown. I would 100% recommend this apartment and Zaharoula and Dimitrios.

The best vacation in our life! Incredible people! The cutest place with perfect view! Thank you very much for your welcoming and your attitude. We felt us not as guests but as part of nice Greek family! Probably we spent the best holidays in our life with Zaharoula, her husband Lionis and their nice son Gianis. Ευχαριστώ πολύ!!!!!!! If you want teste real Crete you must stay here!!!!!

The stay at the accomodation of Zaxaroula made our vacation a dream. Our expectations have been topped by far. Zaxaroula and her family are so nice, we almost didn't feel as guests but as part of the family. In addition to that comes the tasteful decorated appartment that provided us with everything we needed. The apartment is as beautifully located as we hoped watching the pictures before, it is in the midst of the countryside with the most beautiful view over the fields with olive and orange trees and the sea behind. Also important for us was the nearness to the sea (2,6 km) which we could reach within 5 minutes by car. Also a nice walk into the centre of the village of Roumeli to buy rolls and eggs in the morning is made within 8 minutes and gives you the best holiday feeling but also the possibility to live in a real lovely small greek village away from noise and touristic centre. It was the most wonderful stay, that we would immediately repeat.

It was great holiday experience! House is very clean, everything feels new. It also conveniently located few minutes from the beach, tavernas and stores. Kos's mother Despina welcomed us with fruits and other treats, she was lovely! I highly recommend this house!

It was our first stay in Crete. We were conquered by the island, the village and the rental. All this largely thanks to our guests. The rental is ideally located in the village but also to visit the west side of the island. It is perfect, clean, spacious with a view of the sea from the 2 balconies, in a small charming village and especially very quiet (even in August). The narrow streets just below the rental become pedestrian every night and transform with the various taverns in open-air restaurant. The atmosphere is great and so cosmopolitan. You will enjoy a very good home cooking. We did not meet Kos who worked, but on the other hand the welcome from his parents was just exceptional. They live in the house below and are charming. It almost feels like coming into the family. The mom of Kos is simply a love, with always a little attention, a basket of fruits, homemade cupcakes a glass of raki and even gifts for our departure ... THANK YOU VERY MUCH for all these attentions, we are not ready to forget our stay in Crete and those partly thanks to you ma'am. See you soon maybe.

Excellent apartment! As in the description: large spaces, very large double room, nice outdoor terrace with a table for 6 and two sun beds. Very clean and solid (excellent double glazed windows, for a perfect sound proof to greek cicada proof!). The entrance with many beautiful flowers is also pretty. Kos has always been available to give us information and solve every problem. The reception of the parents of Kos, who live below, was very warm and welcome. Panormos is a nice village with little shops and taverns, touristy but quiet, I would say ideal for families. Although we were in the center, we never had any night noise problems and it was still the second week of July. Leaving the apartment you are spoiled for choice for taverns, we have always eaten in a different place and tend to be well. A few minutes walk there are two beaches, very pretty the western one, equipped so much to be comfortable with sunbeds (at 7 euros!), Shower and bar, but still rather spartan. From there by car you can make beautiful tours: Rethymno, Cnossos, Preveli, Arcadi ... In short, we really enjoyed it!

This was the perfect home in the perfect little seaside village. We LOVED our stay at Kos’s place. Although we did not get to meet her we became quick friends with her mother Despina. Even with a language barrier we communicated through google translate, sign language and my interpretation of Greek. 😂. We were welcomed with fresh watermelon and cherries and other treats during the week to help take care of my two children who got the flu the day we arrived. Despina’s hospitality was above and beyond!! The town of Panormos was the exactly what we were looking for. It was quaint, fairly quiet but with everything we needed within walking distance. We rented a car to be able to explore some of the island and it was easy to get around with a gps...since I do not read Greek. We all fell in love with Despina and Panormos.

We had a great holiday. Kos's parents are in the house next door. They are exceptional. What a welcome, hospitality, kindness, kindness. I do not have enough adjectives to describe them. We love it! Everything was perfect! The house is very well equipped. The rooms are large, the barbeque area under the vineyards with the lemon trees is nice. The terraces overlook beautiful views. The house is 2 steps from the sea! Small beach but not as crowded as tourists in other cities of the island. Everything is within walking distance, bakery, grocery store, restaurant. It is very well located to be able to circulate on all the island. My 4 year olds had a lot of fun. What happiness!

We had a great holiday in the apartment. It was everything as described. Huge rooms, you have a lot of space and nothing was missing. A fantastic view of the sea from the terrace have the holiday feeling perfectly rounded. Kos's mother welcomed us warmly and it was a very family atmosphere. It was easy to feel at home. The language barrier (Kos' mother did not speak German or English) was not a problem at all. We can recommend the apartment without reservation!

This is such a lovely property in a great location. We felt like we were in a typical Greek village with very friendly people and great facilities, particularly the choice of restaurants. With the beaches very close by it made for a very relaxing holiday. We also had such a warm and friendly welcome from Kos’ parents who were the perfect hosts. Thank you for your hospitality!

Very nice accommodation in Panormo on the north coast of Crete near Rethymnon. The apartment is on the 1st floor. It has a great terrace overlooking the rooftops of Panormo. Despina, Kos's mother, lives with her husband on the ground floor. Although she speaks no German and no English, but the communication works anyway. She is a very loving person and so she has furnished the apartment. Everything is very clean and comfortable with love. Unfortunately, we could not enjoy that with our two small children, had to bring the filigree accessories to safety ... and yet two Kleinigleiten have broken ... The welcome was a huge portion of sliced watermelon in the fridge, and in between there were times delicious home-baked cookies and cakes and farewell olive oil ... Thank you ... The stay was fantastic and we would like to visit you again ...

The apartment is in a great spot in Panormo, perfect for exploring the area. There is plenty of parking nearby and it is only a short walk to a supermarket, bakery, tavernas and beaches. Would definitely consider booking if we were visiting again.

Many thanks to the owner for the warm welcome! Everything is organized in the best way! The apartment is beautiful and fully consistent with the photos! Panormos is one of the most picturesque and cozy villages of Crete. I fell in love! This is the first vacation spot where I felt at home. A nice bonus for cat owners - Panormos is Kitty City. Suitable for a quiet and relaxing holiday. The beach is small, very clean. Everything you need is within walking distance.

We had a nice week in Panorama, which is quite cute and familiar small, the perfect village for relaxing days. Everything is available just around the corner from our flat, Kostas and his family are very nice and he was helpful in any situation. Thanks an kalimera :)

Kostas' place was a delight. The view from the balcony was lovely, and we spent afternoons outside on the balcony looking out over the sea. It would be hard for the apartment to be closer to the beach, just a walk past a cafe and you are there, on the sandy beach with calm and gentle waves. Plenty of good restaurants and things to do nearby, and a well furnished and clean flat. We had a great time.

Kostas is an amazing host! The apartment was as described, super clean and comfortable and had all that we needed for our week’s stay. Great location to beaches and restaurants. Felt very safe in the village.

Kostas's apartment is located in the characteristic village of Panormo, where all the essential services are present during the holiday. It is located in a very beautiful and recently built house, a few steps from the equipped beach. The apartment is a nice and very clean studio, equipped with everything you need for a pleasant stay. The terrace overlooking the sea is certainly the strong point of the house: it is wonderful and very relaxing. Kostas is very kind and helpful with his guests. Highly recommended apartment to experience the island of Crete by staying in a quiet and characteristic area.

The place was perfect for our stay. We enjoyed breakfast on the patio each morning and too in the view. The small town is adorable with plenty of shops and restaurants. Enjoy your stay! Not a single complaint, thanks for having us Kostas.

I had a wonderful time staying in Kostas’ apartment. Everything was exactly as described - it’s just metres from the lovely sandy beach (with free deck chairs!) and has a big balcony which has the sun all day long and is private enough for sunbathing. The apartment had everything I needed, was very clean and Kostas was very quick to respond to any questions I had. Panormos is a lovely quiet village, the beach is fantastic and very safe for swimming due to the two piers which form a kind of enclosed bay. There are plenty of restaurants close by and a supermarket very close for anything you need. I’d recommend highly.

The place was welcoming, quiet and clean, city good communicating with the host. All was perfect!

We had a great time in the apartment. Thank you very much!

Giannis and his father were very kind to us and they provided great hospitality. The house was warm and traditional. It is in a great place if you want to do somw mini trips. Totally recommend this place!

Very spacious house with a large roof terrace and an extremely warm welcome by the father.

Perfect spot for a stopover, quiet locatiob and a good night's rest. Thanks for the warm welcome.

If you want a quiet, rustic, rural escape this is the place. The luxury of Antonias Home is the simple pleasures of life. Welcomed by Manolis, the house is huge and spotlessly clean. Home made wine, rakis and home grown vegetables are provided. Centrally located in the village Antonias Home is easy to find and well placed for exploring the region. The kindness and generosity of the family is exceptional and is beyond the normal Airbnb experience, true Greek hospitality.

I recommend the house, it is very clean, spacious and comfortable!

We had the pleasure of staying at Antonia's house with my wife, daughter and parents. Two rooms proved sufficient to host all of us. Manolis turned out to be a fantastic host, always there to help, advise and share local tips and food. With a rented car the location appeared to be a great base for the exploration of northern Crete. We mainly spent time between Rethymno and Heraklion both being within 60-90 minutes of driving from the house. The stay at Alfa village truly exceeded our expectations providing some insight into local life and culture. We highly recommend the house and the host.

The stay was outstanding the apartment was excellent and the communication with the host was fantastic The cleaning service was spot on clean towels and bedding every three days with a time to expect the cleaner wonderful The host waited for us to hand over the keys and go through what we needed to know The location was superb lots to do locally in the village but I do recommend exploring the beautiful island We already have plans to return in the new year Keep up the excellent work xxxx

Very kind and polite owner, we did a late checkout without extra charge, a new house, just like they were in the pictures, close to the sea, nice view terrace, all the amenities described were

The flat is brand-new, clean and well-equipped. It has a spacious and comfortable terrace with nice views of the sea and nearby hills. Elena is a great host and charming person. She welcomed us with some Greek pastries, water and raki, gave us plenty of local advice. She was flexible about our check-in/check-out hours. Panormo is a good holiday spot, quiet but with everything you need for your vacation - all within the walking distance from the flat.

Manolis and Irini are perfect hosts. Very friendly and attentive. Apartment is clean, fresh and fully equipment. Location is quit and central. Special word about rooftop terrace. Its great.

Due to power outage the host let me stay in one of the amazing hotel rooms. The host was very helpful.

A truly enjoyable stay, beautiful location, Manolis and his wife were really kind and helpful. Highly recommended

Perfect

Manoli's place is beautiful, super clean and very cozy. He was always very fast in answering and precise in his communications. During the night we spent some time looking at the stars from the beautiful rooftop terrace. Defenitely recommend it :)

Beautiful apartment. Clean and well decorated. Near the beach and shops. Both hosts are warm. The view from the terrace is superb.

Very good apartment, clean and nice. Great location and there is a magnificent roof. The host is very helpful.

Great! Clean, cozy and close to the beach.

An amazing and magical place to spend a vacation. Close to the beach and always things to do (Panormos is a very cute town). The amenities included were great...towels, washing machine, beach umbrellas, barbecue grill, and of course, THE POOL. Laying on the roof of the villa and looking up at a blanket of stars was one of my favorite experiences of the holiday. Would highly, highly recommend this place for anyone reading this. Leo and family were extremely nice, helpful, and genuinely seemed like they wanted us to have the best vacation possible. Thank you and please consider staying here!

Amazing! This word describes our holidays perfectly. The house is beautifully planed with all the necessities and frankly the hosts are the best in the world! I recommend it to anyone who wants to have a great holiday in crete.

This villa is very special and a fantastic place to stay. Large spacious rooms, fabulous pool and gardens all beautifully maintained. A warm, personal welcome and a lovely meal ready on arrival along with all the necessary supplies which we were so grateful for, having arrived late at night. Spectacular views of the sea to the front and equally great views of the mountains to the rear. Easy walk to the village from the villa meant a car was not necessary. The villa is very private but the hosts are contactable should you need anything at all. We would definitely stay again only next time we would stay for more than a week as we didn’t want to leave.

An apartment with a wonderful outlook especially at sunset.

The apartment is located on the edge of Panoromos, which is a quaint little village with many tavernas, shops and bars, and also several sandy beaches. The apartment is about a 10 minute walk away to the town centre and several sandy beaches, albeit there is a small rocky beach about two minutes walk away, which is apparently good for snorkeling. The apartment is quite spacious, well equipped, and generally very clean, although the bathroom could do with modernising. All in all, we had a great time at Ntina's apartment and would recommend it as a base for exploring Crete.

Beautiful condo by the sea! Bright, clean, quiet, ideal for a family of four! Panormos is a small town perfect for rest, but also very interesting for its location, as it is also close to Heraklion, Knossos, Rethymnon, Chania and right next to the beautiful beach From Bali ... Ntina made us feel welcome when we arrived in Panormos and responded to our messages promptly.

Large, very clean accommodation. Reactive exchanges with Ntina, very attentive (thanks for the bottle of champagne

This flat is a gem, great location with amazing sunset and sea views, walking distance to great child-friendly beaches and tavernas. Easy drive to Rithymno, Heraklion and Bali. We loved our stay here.

Very nice stay in a lovely home, nice public pool and little town on walking distance is so cute!

Beautiful spacious apartment with access to a shared pool. nice base for middle Crete. Rethminon, Iraklion but also Matala is good to do. Ntina is a very good hostess, has welcomed us with fresh fruit, water bread and toppings. that's how we had a nice start. she reacts quickly and is very helpful. in a word, fantastic!

Ntina greeted us with kindness and showed us how the apartment worked. She had bought some food for us to have breakfast. The apartment is clean and spacious and the air conditioning was very much appreciated. There is a small pebble cove located less than 100m from the house. Very uncrowded but very clean ideal for snorkling and looking for sea snails. A sandy beach a little further to the port of Panormos. The village is very nice, lots of shops and good taverns. A large communal pool is also available to the apartments of the hamlet. Stay very appreciated by the family.

Great accommodation. Very good location near the beach and between two big cities of Crete. Very clean and tidy. Highly recommended, especially for families.
