Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Keratokampos

Pasiphae House was something out of a dream! It was beautifully designed in the traditional Crete Village homes style. The location is isolate in the mountains, but amongst a great community of people. We were greeted by Yianna and Koula that gave us the walk through of the house, and we're always in constant communication. Ioanna supplied us with a long list of things to do and try in the area which we took full advantage of. Overall it was a beautiful stay and would highly recommend.

We had a great stay at the place. The large garden and the great views of the bay of Heraklion were amazing. The house itself was a little smaller than expected, especially with two almost adult children. The surfaces of the kitchen could have been cleaner and the dishwasher was unfortunately broken. These were the only criticisms. Jannis took care of us touchingly and contacted us again and again. The house is fantastically located at the end of a dead end and Google does not know the way there, but the directions from Jannis and Evi are perfect. A small tip: a car is mandatory! All in all it was a great holiday.

I really enjoyed staying here. The view, the tranquility and in general the apartment was a dream to be in. I felt right at home and didn't want to leave. Always happy to come back. Highly recommend this property.

We had a great stay Everything was as described They were great hosts the villa was modern, clean and everything was there we needed. A toaster and microwave could be added to the kitchen, but tk he honest what made our stay was ‘ rocky’ We miss him We loved him and the host was so wonderful like ‘ Rocky’ Thank you for having us stay and highly recommended and appreciate all you did for us X X

We had a wonderful stay at this charming, quiet little apartment. The location was ideal—just a 5-minute walk to the beach, which made it easy to enjoy the sea whenever I wanted. The apartment was cozy, perfect for a peaceful getaway, and had everything I needed. Penelope was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. She offered fantastic local recommendations, from restaurants to hidden gems nearby, and were always responsive and helpful whenever we had a question. A sweet bonus was Sisi, the adorable resident cat! She made us feel even more at home with her cute personality. I’d highly recommend this place for anyone looking to relax and experience Crete like a local. Would definitely return!"

Having stayed in the area before, a quiet location was the most important aspect for me along with easy access to the beaches and a short walk into Hersonnisos. I couldn't have wished for a better location. The apartment was quiet with little traffic noise, compact and clean. The nearest beach was just a few minutes walk away with cafes and restaurants next to the beach. Hersonnisos itself was about 15 mins easy walk. The garden was a perfect spot for some sunbathing on those lazy days when you didn't want to leave comforts of home. It was an ideal suntrap. I didn't need anything from George on my 10 days, staying at Blue Coast Gardens -Juniper. but he was within easy reach with a whole host of helpful numbers and contacts made available, should have needed to contact him. It was great having a large comfortable double bed with good quality bedding and Aircon if it got too hot at night. All the equipment provided was in great working order, the apartment spotlessly clean. Loved it!!

Dear Alexis, dear Nikoleta, thank you so much for the wonderful stay in your house. We are looking forward to tasting the cake you made for us with our best friend today back home :-) Everything was so lovely and cosy. Have a good season 2025 and looking forward to come back again. All the best for you Uli and Guido

We had an amazing stay in Agios Ioannis. The house is beautiful, clean, calm, with beautiful views and a great garden. Perfect location to escape tourism and enjoy the mountains. We highly recommend and hope to visit again!

If you are looking for peace and relaxation, this is the place to be. Vacation away from tourism in the Cretan mountains. We especially enjoyed the outdoor kitchen and the pool. In September, however, it is already much cooler on the mountain than on the coast. Since a car is absolutely necessary anyway, we were able to switch to the beaches on windy or cloudy days. Konstantinos gave us great tips on request and we were offered free cleaning 2x. Clear recommendation!

We had the most amazing experience staying at this Airbnb! The house was absolutely stunning with breathtaking views that made every morning special. It was beautifully maintained and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. What truly set this place apart, though, were the incredible hosts. They went above and beyond to make sure our trip was perfect. From arranging convenient transportation from the airport in Heraklion to renting us their car—which was spotless and ideal for exploring Crete—everything was seamless and stress-free. Their warmth and hospitality made us feel right at home, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Crete. We can’t wait to come back!

I would give this place 10 stars if I could. If you aren’t sure if you should stay here or not, I promise you will love the place. It’s beautiful and the host was there to help me and answer questions. He even came to meet me when I got lost so I could follow him to the house! The inside of the house is absolutely gorgeous. The host left us inside enough food, snacks, and beverages to last a week, which was such a pleasant surprise. I recommend renting a car as access to the city is not within walking distance but even in the neighborhood there are two small restaurants and a little convenience store practically right outside the gates of the house. Heraklion is fun and Crete is a beautiful place to rent a car and visit sites. Even balos beach is doable in one day from there if you plan ahead. Then there are other beaches much closer and easier like Voulisma to the east. Or you can take a beautiful drive through the mountains and eat a great with w a view. Much to do! House is perfect!

Beautiful and a big apartment. I booked this apartment very spontaneous but we could handle the check in very good. Great communication and support! Thank you!

Place looked exactly like the photos. Loved having an additional half bath room, on top of the full bathrooms in the bedrooms. The hosts were responsive to questions and assisted with providing additional bedding upon request in a quick timely manner. Very modern amenities with automatic blinds, stove tops, fridge, and smart Air conditioning system (which worked great). The kitchen in both the house and outside were well equipped with lots of utensils and cooking ware. The outside grill was perfect for when we made sausages and chicken, and we had plenty of tools for bbqing or cleaning the grill. The location is surrounded by many markets, shops, and bars. Loved the pool and hot tub. Just wish the hot tub could get a little hotter. Hottest temperature could get the tub to luke warm temperature. Our small group would definitely stay again.

We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay at Alexandros's villa. Alexandros met us at Heraklion airport on arrival and showed us the way to the villa. The villa had everything we needed for our 10 day stay, set in a very quiet, relaxing location overlooking olive groves and vineyards. The local tavernas offer an amazing selection of good quality food and they are mostly run by families. You can really enjoy the famous Cretan hospitality. Alexandros was always on hand to assist with anything we needed including restaurant recommendations and questions about the local area. We are already planning our stay next year! Thank you for everything Alexandros!

A gem and a beautiful retreat in southern Crete. The villa has everything your heart desires, a beautiful view, pool and a modern kitchen that makes every heart of a hobby cook beat faster. I will miss the morning and evening bath in the pool with the view. Since it has almost no light pollution, you can see a starry sky and the Milky Way with the naked eye. Secluded beaches are easily accessible by car within 30 minutes, so a car is highly recommended. Doesn't have to be an SUV. Sam is available at any time and communicates very quickly. Furthermore, he or Lefteris are always available with tips and advice. Sam and Anel are more than super hosts and I can recommend their villa villa 200%.

It was a real treat to stay at this property. The structures are lovely and very well maintained, and the setting among a private olive grove and swimming pool is special. Everything was just as pictured and described in the listing. The host was very nice, helpful, easy to communicate with. Within walking distance, there's nothing interesting in the nearby village, but there are some great hiking trails a short walk up the hill from the property, and the charming town of Archanes is a 10-minute drive.

The is a family house, simple, pleasent and authentic. The natural surroundings are amazing. The silence is incredible. Meni and Andreas, the owners, are very nice people and we felt the love they invested in every detail. Thanks 🙏

The name Golden View is exactly what you get. The view is phenomenal. Especially in the early morning when the sun rises you can see why it's called Golden View and it was a pleasure to wake up to this view. The accommodation itself is comfortably furnished. The bathroom is kept a little small. Due to a missing shower wall, the bathroom is flooded, but also dries again due to the existing drain. The outdoor facilities are absolutely top. We often used the great and large barbecue area with the large stone barbecue. The pool area with the many loungers is fantastic. Emmanuel was a great host and very helpful. On the first day he even drove us to the supermarket, waited and drove back again so we didn't have to carry as much. He also always had tips ready for us. We were even invited in the circle of a family dinner and treated very courteously. Hospitality is paramount here.

the villa is very beautiful and functional. the sea view is breathtaking. it's a little wonder every morning.

Nicely decorated, relatively close to the airport

It was my second time at Manolis’ place and I love it. It’s one of most magic places I know on this planet and Manoils and his parents are always very friendly and helpful. The kitchen is very well equipped and the apartment very cosy and bright. Especially in autumn I like this area and the balcony because it’s very calm and relaxed - you are very near the ocean. Like last time Manolis mum prepared some dinner for me and the fridge was full of food ❤️. Unfortunately there was some strong wind during my 4 weeks there and so I had some power outages and wifi / fon connection outages. Manolis did his very best and was very helpful to get it fixed as soon as possible.

Our stay was a gift of peace and tranquility in a separate apartment with its own terrace and barbecue inside the property. We felt at home. Everything was spotless and we found some extras in the kitchen (water, beer, coffee...) that we greatly appreciated. Mel and Micchael are fantastic hosts, charming, friendly and respectful. They provided us with a compendium of good recommendations for eastern Crete and also everything we needed. The shared pool was always available to us, and we fell in love with the kittens. We are very grateful to Mel and Micchael, we wish them the best. If we return to eastern Crete, we will certainly stay here again!

Hospitable hosts, delicious desserts, a beautiful view from the terrace, close to the beach, are all you need for a vacation.

Konstantinos was a very friendly and helpful host. The place was beautiful and peaceful. I would definitely visit again if I ever return to Crete. Thank you Konstantinos, for creating such a memorable experience during our stay in Crete
