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

Villa Repsimia with Private Jacuzzi
Elena ist eine nette und zuvorkommende Gastgeberin. Wir konnten uns jederzeit bei ihr melden, haben sehr schnell Rückmeldungen bekommen und sie hat sich um unser Wohlbefinden in der Unterkunft erkundigt. Die Unterkunft ist sehr sauber, gut ausgestattet und man hat seine Privatsphäre. Sie sieht genauso aus wie auf den Bildern. Die Unterkunft ist sehr ruhig gelegen. Man benötigt ein Auto, um Aktivitäten zu unternehmen. Wir können die Unterkunft und Elena als Gastgeberin nur weiterempfehlen! ☺️

Kores boutique houses - Aspasia
A great ,spacious, quirky botique 3 bedroom apartment in the heart of the old city of Chania. Very clean with all the amenities, large comfortable beds and modern bathrooms. The good wifi and a washing machine were crucial for us. Best of all is the location which is on a lovely, narrow pedestrian cobblestone street in the old town. Restaurants galore and a 5 minute walk to the gorgeous harbor area. Of the 3 Crete cities ,Chania Rithymno, and Herakliona, Chania was the most beautiful and well kept. The best of the 3 to use as a base(We did day trips to the other two towns.) Gannis was abroad, but his friend Christina was so nice, and helpful .She met us where we parked the car and led us through the old town to the apartment.

Tasos Sea View Studio 2
We loved our stay at Anastasio’s! The apartment was clean and just as the photos described. The location was beautiful, overlooking the water and within walkable distance to everything you could need. Anastasio and Fotis were extremely responsive and helpful, always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. They even allowed us to check in early when we arrived to the city earlier than expected. Thanks for a great stay!

Brand new ocean wave's villa!
I had an incredible stay at Giorgos' apartment! The sea is literally the backyard, and starting every morning with the sound of the waves and finishing the day with a breathtaking sunset was definitely a highlight. The apartment itself is very comfortable, and falling asleep to the soothing sound of the ocean waves was just perfect. It's an easy and beautiful 30-minute walk to Chania town, and the WiFi was great for working remotely. Giorgos was an amazing host, going above and beyond to ensure all our needs were met. This is definitely one of the best Airbnbs I've stayed in – highly recommend!

City Beach,Seafront Villa by CHANiA LiVING STORiES
The place was great! We loved it! Close to the beach, great restaurants, walking distance to the old port and supermarket, not too far from the highway. The lodging was enormous and had so much room, ac worked great, having a parking space was very practical. Go ahead and book you won’t regret it.

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.

Apartments with panoramic view

Beachfront home rentals with a pool

Blue Velvet Coast Seafront Villa with Heated Pool
Our stay at the villa was nothing short of incredible. The location was peaceful and serene—away from the busier tourist areas, it truly felt like our own private resort. The views were absolutely stunning, and every moment there felt like a dream. The house itself was fully equipped with everything we could possibly need, and the heated pool was a highlight—especially during the cooler evenings. It made it easy to enjoy every part of our stay, no matter the weather. George, our host, was fantastic. He was always just a message away, ready with helpful suggestions and warm hospitality. His attention to detail and genuine care made our stay even more special. We’re already dreaming about our return. Highly recommend!

Suite Anthos with Shared Pool, Ammokrinos
Excellent experience - 5 stars across the board! If you're looking for a quiet exclusive place to stay, that offers all amenities for a great price - this is it. High quality furnishings, perfectly clean, super friendly and attentive host, amazing location just a few steps from the beach, basically no traffic - all you hear is the ambient sound of the sea, great restaurants close by,... the list goes on. Highly recommend!

Sueno Villas, Del Sol Villa, dream above the sea!
Incredible stay, stunning villa, lovely to walk into the little town, and a brand new restaurant opened called ‘Dusk’ a few minutes walk away which was 11/10. We adored the hot tub, luxury, all the little touches. Juicer for fresh orange juice and funky toaster. Thank you Crete is exquisite 💖💖💖

Exclusive Sea View Suite & Free Parking
My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and it was better than expected! The location was great, we had easy beach access to a relatively quiet part of the beach. There were loads of great restaurants near us and we could walk into the town centre within 35 mins. Lovely amenities and very clean. Beautiful view of the ocean and square from our window. Pool was great with a lovely bar. Check-in was very easy and the staff at the hotel were very friendly. We would 100% recommend this apartment to anyone staying in Rethimno and looking to have a peaceful area to stay and don’t mind walking into town.

Ocean Bliss Villa, By Hellocrete
Ein traumhafter Urlaub! Nassi und Dimitri haben uns herzlich empfangen und sogar in eine Taverne eingeladen – dort gab es das beste Moussaka, das wir je gegessen haben. Ein echter Glücksfall! Die beiden waren jederzeit hilfsbereit und haben uns tolle Tipps für Ausflüge gegeben. Wer Ruhe, Natur und Authentizität sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Keine Hotelburgen, keine Touristenmassen – stattdessen Idylle, Gastfreundschaft und ein respektvoller Umgang mit der Umgebung und den Kirchen. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und eine unvergessliche Woche erlebt. Beim nächsten Mal kommen wir mit unseren beiden Töchtern zurück – und freuen uns auch auf die süße Katze, die wir „Muzzi“ getauft haben. Vielen Dank für alles – bis bald! Liebe Grüße, Steffi & Martin

Zoe villa , South Crete , Triopetra
Wat een fantastische ervaring hebben wij gehad tijdens ons verblijf in deze prachtige villa in Zuid-Kreta! Alles overtrof onze verwachtingen. Vanaf het moment van aankomst viel meteen op hoe extreem netjes en hygiënisch alles was. De villa was werkelijk brandschoon en tot in de kleinste details verzorgd. Alles wat je maar kunt bedenken was aanwezig – van keukengerei tot strandlakens – waardoor we ons meteen thuis voelden en volledig konden ontspannen. De gastvrijheid van de gastheer was buitengewoon. Hij was altijd bereikbaar voor vragen, gaf ons geweldige tips over de omgeving en zorgde ervoor dat het ons werkelijk aan niets ontbrak. Wat een warm welkom en service! Ook de ligging van de villa is absoluut een pluspunt: prachtig in een rustige omgeving, met schitterend uitzicht en toch dicht bij de mooiste stranden en charmante dorpjes. Kortom, wij hebben een droomvakantie gehad. Een bijzonder woord van dank aan de gastheer voor de perfecte ontvangst.

Casa Calma 1. Beachfront luxury appartment!
Wir hatten einen wundervollen Aufenthalt in der Casa Calma. Antonis war ein äußerst aufmerksamer und herzlicher Gastgeber. Schon bei unserer Ankunft hat er uns persönlich begrüßt – mit köstlichem Essen und erfrischenden Getränken. Besonders gefreut haben wir uns auch über das liebevoll ausgesuchte Abschiedsgeschenk. Die Unterkunft selbst ist modern, stilvoll eingerichtet und bestens ausgestattet – es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Der private Pool war ein echtes Highlight und hat den Aufenthalt besonders gemacht. Die Lage ist ideal. Der Ort lässt sich bequem zu Fuß erkunden. In unmittelbarer Nähe befinden sich Supermärkte, eine Bäckerei und viele gute Restaurants. Auch der Strand ist schnell erreichbar – das flache Wasser eignet sich perfekt für Kinder. Wir haben unseren Urlaub in vollen Zügen genossen und kommen sehr gerne wieder!

Luxury Villa with Seaview and Private Pool
Die Hilltop-Villas entsprechen genau den Fotos. Moderne Anlage, tip-top gepflegt. Sehr aufmerkame Gastgeber. Giannis und seine Mutter Anna waren sehr zugewandt und extrem hilfsbereit. Der Aufenthalt bei ihnen hat uns sehr gut gefallen!

Coastline of Paradise Luxury
Der Check-In hat super geklappt, obwohl unser Flug Verspätung hatte und wir erst um 00:30 Uhr im Dorf ankamen. Maria hat auf uns gewartet und uns willkommen geheißen, vielen Dank! Der Ort selbst ist sehr ruhig. Es gibt einen Supermarkt, der aber wegen Saisonende leider schon dauerhaft geschlossen hatte. Die umliegenden Strände sind sehr idyllisch und teilweise waren wir sogar die einzigen dort. Zu den typischen Kreta-Sehenswürdigkeiten ist es sehr weit zu fahren, dafür hat man hier gute Entspannung ohne viel Trubel. Genauso, wie wir es wollten.

Μικρό εξοχικό με υπέροχη θέα στη θάλασσα
I loved the tiny house, every millimetre, it’s across the road from the shepherds caravan and you are lightly woken by him calling the goats in the morning. Wonderful. The cliffs are covered with wild thyme and the scent mingles with the sea breeze bringing another sensory tweak to the exceptional surroundings. From the moment you cross the mountain peak you are greeted with a never to forget 180 degree view of the deep blue Libyen Sea, that literally is on your terrace of the property. There are two empty beaches at the foot of the cliffs, but two cafes and a slightly busier beach in the village if you prefer. It’s an unspoiled paradise, on Sunday you can hear the monks song and the bells echoing up from the village. We only spent three nights in Tris Eklieses, but it will remain with me forever as a really unique experience. Outside of peak season the village supermarket is closed the nearest one is about 1/2 an hours drive away, I envy the owners, it’s a very special place. THX4ALL.

Valentino Apartments (apartment 3)
Niki and Cristos were really lovely and friendly hosts. Fresh flowers, homemade biscuits and cake, wine etc were provided and left in the apartment. The apartment was bright and clean. They treated us as family and really made us feel at home. Surrounded by the most amazing mountains. Beautiful people on beautiful Bali. What more could you ask for? Eif charisto! (thank-you) Margerita and Yianni xxxx

Studio Thea 3
Sehr schönes Studio mit Blick auf das Meer und die Berge. Es gibt im selben Haus gleich nebenan noch ein Studio zu mieten und unten eine Wohnung. Die Vermieterin ist sehr nett und hat dafür gesorgt, dass es uns an nichts fehlte. Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber und man kann zu Fuss an den Strand, oder zu den Tavernen im Dorf. Allerdings ist ein Auto von Vorteil (Parkmöglichkeit gleich vor dem Haus).

East Seafront Suite
Great location, very short walk to the port, beautiful view of the ocean from the balcony. The host was extremely responsive and always willing to help make our stay comfortable! Apartment was very clean and the jacuzzi is a great feature. Multiple cafe’s/bars just downstairs with great food, drinks, and service. Highly recommend staying at this property if you want to be close to the venetian port and all Chania has to offer.

Ocean Blue I, Seaside Suite
Perfect beachfront location- so close you sleep and awake to ocean sounds. Well situated between Matala and Reythmos, plus easy by car to get to archeological sites before the crowds. Perfect weather even in November!

Elena Apartment near to the sea!
We had a great time staying at Galini apartments. Erini and her husband were helpful responsive to any queries. There was always raki, watermelon and coffee available! The apartments were clean and a short walk to the beach, restaurants and supermarket.

Sofia Seaside Apartment, with Sea view
I had an amazing stay at this Airbnb! The view was absolutely breathtaking, and the easy access to the beach made the experience even more special. The location is perfect for anyone looking to relax and soak in the beauty of Kalamaki. While communication could have been a bit smoother, the host provided an extensive online guide for the region, which was incredibly helpful for planning activities and exploring local spots. It was a great resource that added to the overall experience. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone seeking a beautiful coastal getaway!
