Monthly Rentals in Argilos beach

Beautiful stone cottage in a mountain setting 20 minutes from Sitia. Stunning scenery! Villagers extremely welcoming and hospitable bringing wonderful Cretan baking. Host gave us a private tour of the nearby archeological site and then delivered dinner to us! We were fortunate enough to be given a walking tour of the mountain by a fellow Canadian in the village. An unforgettable experience in a warm community. A car is needed and follow Nikolaos’ directions carefully.

We had an absolutely unforgettable stay at this charming summer cottage. Nestled within a serene olive garden, the setting is pure magic—peaceful, green, and filled with the gentle rustle of olive trees in the breeze. The view over the Aegean Sea is simply breathtaking. One of the highlights of our stay was the direct access to a stunning sandy beach, just a 30-second stroll from the house. It felt like our own private escape—crystal-clear waters, soft sand, and complete tranquility. Our little children, aged 3 and 5, absolutely loved it too. The garden and beach were perfect for them to explore safely, and they had the time of their lives playing, splashing, and discovering nature all around. The cottage itself is cozy, beautifully maintained, and has all the comforts needed for a relaxing getaway. Whether you're lounging on the terrace with a book, enjoying a meal outdoors surrounded by nature, or taking a refreshing dip in the sea, every moment here is a joy! Highly recommended!

We had a fantastic stay in the house in Xerocampos. It was so worth the drive to explore this side of the Island. The warmest of welcomes from Dimitrios beautiful parents Pasquale and Maria made our stay complete. They met us at the house with some amazing gifts of food and again on departure. The house is so comfortable, with beautiful outdoor areas for relaxing on the roof terrace or in the hammock in the olive grove. The little village has some great tavernas , and a fantastic little coffee spot for your morning fix. Great easy walk to mini markets and local beaches. Easy access to local villages for some exploring of local Gorges and remote beaches. Highly recommend that you take an opportunity to grant yourselves some peace and tranquility in this little piece of Crete.

The little house is lovingly decorated. Perfect for 2 persons. Since the weather was very good, we were always on the covered terrace during the day. Nearby, 10 minutes' walk away, there are some restaurants that offer very good Greek cuisine. We stayed 5 nights in Kato Zakros and felt very comfortable. Shopping is only available in Zakros, 7 km away. Our conclusion: highly recommended.
