Monthly Rentals in Gonia

As a solo woman traveler and digital nomad, this was a perfect first stop on my journey. It’s a very safe area with a supermarket next door and a variety of cafes, bakeries, and restaurants in walking distance. I did not rent a car but I was perfectly fine with getting a taxi to go into the city center or to the beach! I got a great deal on a 4 week stay and the host is hospitable. I have 0 complaints, highly recommend.

We felt super comfortable with John and his family. From the first day, we were actively welcomed into everyday life and always felt very welcome. The room has everything we needed plus some extras 😉 Definitely worth a visit, as you could also reach some beautiful places quickly from there. Most important to us was the village location,far from tourist strongholds. Thanks for everything

We stayed in Zoi's apartment for 1 week. She was always available and always responded to messages. When we arrived late at night, she had put pizzas and ice cream in the freezer for us. For our breakfast, there was also everything we needed! The apartment has direct access to the beach and the old town of Rethymno is a 20/25-minute walk. Really a great place to stay with ocean views 🥰 always happy to come back!!

Gonia is a great, quiet village. Perfect for a relaxing getaway after the chaos of the more populated areas of Greece, yet still close enough to get to the other areas of Crete that we wanted to visit. The host is a super-host for a reason! She brought us fresh produce from her garden throughout our stay, including the most beautiful tomatoes that we had ever seen. The house is very quaint and the stone keeps it cooler during the very hot summer months. The outdoor space offered here is wonderful for relaxing, either downstairs in the shade or upstairs in the sun in the hammock or at the second dinner table. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here!
