Villa Alma in Crete, Sea View 2min from the beach!
nous avons passé une belle semaine dans le logement de Maria. La terrasse couverte est la plus belle pièce de la maison avec une vue magnifique sur la mer. La plage est à moins de 5 min à pied, par contre attention, pour les personnes qui ont des difficultés à marcher, la pente est plutôt raide à remonter. Maria est très réactive et répond très vite aux messages. agia pelagia reste une petite station balnéaire très bien situé pour visiter le Nord de l'île. Belle découverte

Steliana's House _Ground Floor with Private Pool
The apartment is immaculate, inside and out. We were greeted by Stella's kind father who showed us around the property. The kitchen and fridge were stocked with basic pantry items to get us through until we could go to a grocery store. We were celebrating a birthday and in response Stella had a bouquet of flowers and a greeting card set out. Such a sweet and personal touch. The beds were comfortable and the towels were soft. The washing machine was nice to have, especially with soap and softener readily available. The internet connectivity was fantastic. There is a small grocery store nearby (but the walk is uphill). Restaurants are a bit further. We rented a car so it wasn't a big deal for us. There is also a small beach a short downhill walk from the property. There are chairs and umbrellas available to rent. There is also a boat and paddle board rental on site. Overall, our stay at Stella's was amazing. We had an excellent experience and would highly recommend this property.

New Villa HALO just 100m from the beach
Jekaterina hat uns sehr herzlich und super flexibel empfangen. Unser Flug hatte abends Verspätung und dann waren unsere Koffer auch noch weg. Sie hat sofort ihre Hilfe angeboten und super schnell auf fragen reagiert. Sie macht das ganze Management rund ums Haus ganz, ganz toll! Das Haus ist genauso wie in der Beschreibung. Eine fantastische Außenanlagen und in 3 min ist man am Strand. Wir bedanken uns recht herzlich bei Jekaterina, dass sie unser Host war und schicken ganz liebe Grüße nach Kreta.

Seaview studio
Vielen lieben Dank Vasilis, wir haben uns während unseres Aufenthaltes sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Lage war prima und der Balkon ein echtes Highlight. Ich würde die Unterkunft jederzeit weiterempfehlen.

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 è stato veramente molto gentile ed attento. Sempre a disposizione e, se impossibilitato per qualsiasi evenienza, la madre o la moglie si sono mostrate sempre presenti. La casa è accogliente, tranquilla e vicinissima al mare (50 metri) e accessoriata con tutti i comfort. Facile da raggiungere dall'aereoporto di Heraklion e comoda per raggiungere le belle spiagge vicine. Consigliatissimo.

STUDIO NEAR THE SEA
Excellent séjour chez Myron qui nous a proposé de venir nous chercher à l’aéroport. En moins de 20 minutes, nous étions à destination avec en prime un accueil chaleureux et des informations très utiles. Le logement, en tous points conforme aux photos et à la description, est idéal pour deux, tout y est très bien pensé. Il est situé à 100 m de la plage et du Havana Beach Bar (qui propose des transats gratuits pour peu qu’on prenne une consommation et de bons plats faits maison) et de plusieurs tavernes offrant une cuisine traditionnelle Crétoise d’un excellent rapport qualité/prix. L’arrêt du bus pour Heraklion est à 200 m et vous y conduit en une trentaine de minutes selon la circulation, il y a aussi un bus express pour le Palais de Cnossos. Nous recommandons à 100%.

Golden Horizon Retreat
Επισκεφτήκαμε το σπίτι με τον άντρα μου και τον 1,5 χρόνων γιο μου και ζήσαμε υπέροχες στιγμές στο πεντακάθαρο σπίτι της Στελίνας! Οι παροχές ήταν ότι ακριβώς θα ζητούσες στις διακοπές σου και η οικοδέσποινα ήταν πρόσχαρη και εκτίμησα πολύ το γεγονός ότι μπορούσαμε να την βρούμε οπότε εμείς το χρειαζόμαστε. Ήταν άμεση και φιλόξενη. Σίγουρα θα ξαναεπισκεφτούμε την Στελίνα αφού ήδη κλείσαμε τις διακοπές μας για το καλοκαίρι! Ανυπομονούμε όλοι!! Ευχαριστούμε για όλα Στελίνα!!

Ammos Beachfront Luxury Apartment
Vasilis and Magdalena were amazing to deal with, responding immediately no matter the time. The accommodations are excellent, spacious, comfortable with each of the 3 bedrooms having their own bathroom and perfectly located on the 7 km beach with the bonus use of the pool next door. There is parking but it’s a narrow dead end street and we did get stuck a number of times behind service trucks for the restaurant next door. Easy access by bus into the town centre. It’s a perfect holiday spot for large families and friends.

Sunterra Seafront Villa with Pool !
We had an absolutely amazing stay! The house was even better than the pictures—spacious, spotless, and beautifully decorated. Our host went above and beyond to make our trip special. They were incredibly attentive, offering fantastic local recommendations and even arranging a taxi service for us, which made everything so easy. To top it all off, they surprised us with homemade traditional Easter cookies, which was such a thoughtful and personal touch. We felt so welcomed and cared for the entire time. Highly, highly recommend staying here—you won’t be disappointed!

Στουντιο στην Αγια Πελαγια με πισινα
Dora and her family were so friendly and helpful. Dora collected us from the bus and arrived the next morning with a pot of soup. Delicious. Everything about the accommodation was amazing. A lovely apartment nice pool area , nice walks. Bravo restaurant and staff are fantastic. Antonis is so friendly and welcoming. It’s our favourite restaurant. I would highly recommend this Airbnb

Private pool villa near a sandy beach
Wir werden es vermissen. Haus und Pool waren top. Wir haben eine wundervolle Zeit dort verbracht. Auch die Katzen haben wir gleich ins Herz geschlossen❤️ In 2 Jahren kommen wir wieder.

Fotini Anisaras Apartments "Α"
J’ai passé un excellent séjour ! Merci pour votre accueil chaleureux, ainsi que votre réactivité et flexibilité. Le airbnb est très bien placé : environ 20-25 min d’Heraklion en voiture et 10 min du centre d’Hersonissos, n’étant pas véhiculée je me suis déplacée en bus ou en taxi, il y arrêt juste en face du logement (au zorbas village hôtel) ou un autre arrêt à environ 15-20 minutes de marche. Il est mieux d’avoir une voiture pour se déplacer, aller faire les courses car le airbnb est un peu excentré, il n’y a pas d’hypermarché à proximité à pied, c’est une zone touristique avec beaucoup d’hôtels, le café molo en face propose des transats gratuits. L’emplacement est très agréable et safe, il y a par contre beaucoup de passage de bus, taxis, voitures mais qui n’est pas trop dérangeant. La mer est juste en face à même pas 2 minutes, la vue du jardin est super (sur la mer et les montagnes). Le logement est confortable et parfait pour une ou 2 personnes. Je reviendrai avec grand plaisir

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.

* *AmmiraMare | Poolside Relaxation Near the Beach
We enjoyed the stay in Fanis's place and recommend it. We had plenty of room for 3 people, and we liked the the fact that is looks more modern then some of the other places. We enjoyed breakfast at balconies, soaking the sun in, everything you need for cooking etc. is there, even a sandwich grill. Fanis was always quick to respond and helped us with any questions. As for the surroundings, we really enjoyed walking to Agia Pelagia beach (a 15-minute walk) and spending our day there, there are some good cafes and restaurants.

Beach front apartment with swimming pool
We had a wonderful stay at Dimitrios’ house in Lygaria! The home is spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing holiday. The view from the balcony is breathtaking, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. The location is ideal: peaceful and quiet, yet just a short walk to the beach and local tavernas. Dimitrios was an exceptional host, welcoming, responsive, and full of helpful tips to make our stay even better. One thing to note is that there are sound monitors inside the house. We’d highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing escape in Crete.

Asiklari's Project ApARTment
Alles gut ! Kann ich nur empfehlen. Vielen dank für den netten Service

Renata Mare Beachfront Studios, Studio 4 Sea View
The appartment was perfect, great location with a balcony and view of the sea. Close to nice restaurants and a quiet area. About a 10mins walk to the busier nightlife area. Was also easy to find taxis at the main street behind the appartment. The aircon worked well, and the flat had kitchenette ideal for 2 people. A small shower but worked well and we didnt mind it being small seeing you only spend 3mins of your day in it. Thanos was great at check in and check out and personally welcomed us even late on a friday night. he showed us around the neighborhood and gave reccommendations which was a nice touch.A really comfortable stay. Would stay again if we come back one day!

Experience and enjoy the sea on Mades Beach !!!
L endroit est juste merveilleux ! Calme avec une vue magnifique Popi est très réactive et avec beaucoup de bienveillance Nous recommandons sans hésitation

The Garden Room, 50m from beach, unique property.
Bonjour, Nous avons séjourné dans la petite maison de Manos pendant une semaine, nous avons pu profiter d un petit jardin ombragé très agréable, le quartier est calme. la maison est très bien située pour visiter la côte nord, elle est fonctionnelle, toutes les photos correspondent bien à l endroit.. Vous pouvez manger au resto à proximité ou faire un barbecue sur place, de nombreux commerces à quelques pas... La mer juste à côté...c était juste parfait ! Excellentes vacances en Crête

Anfi Suites 3
Ich habe mich unglaublich wohl gefühlt. Der Blick auf das Meer war traumhaft. Da überall Restaurants und Hotels sind, war abends Musik zu hören, aber mit geschlossenen Türen war alles ruhig. Es war super sauber und alles da, was man brauchte.

Coast Suite-Luxury Central Beach House
The owners of this place were amazing! They were so nice! The apartment is very clean and organized. The view is absolutely stunning from this place! Recommending everyone to stay here! Would stay here again if we ever visited!

Sunset Loft Crete
Nous avons passé un super séjour dans un endroit propre et conforme aux photos. Facile d’accès et proche de tout. Nous recommandons fortement ce logement.

Maria's Home
Wir haben uns in der Unterkunft sehr wohl gefühlt. Manos ist super freundlich, hilfsbereit und wenn man etwas braucht, sofort zu erreichen. Die Lage der Wohnung könnte nicht besser sein, nah am Strand und tolle Restaurants in der Umgebung, und man kann vom Balkon aus das Meer sehen. Alles war sauber und wie auf den Fotos beschrieben. Wir hatten eine tolle Woche Urlaub bei Manos und würden sofort wieder dort buchen.
