Beautiful Apartment,1-5 persons, 100m from the sea
The host was incredibly polite and hospitable throughout our stay. The apartments are conveniently located, with easy access to local restaurants and taverns. On one occasion, we encountered an issue with the tap, but the host promptly resolved it without any additional charges. Their excellent English skills and helpful resources were greatly appreciated. I wholeheartedly recommend this host and their apartments. You're sure to have a fantastic time during your stay.

Siroco Apartment, 100 meters from the beach
Very nice place, as described by the owner.

Dion house 🏡🏡
We loved staying at Dion House, it was a beautiful,peaceful place a 5 minute walk from the beach. Athina was an amazing host, we were welcomed with wine and homemade pie, and Athina was always quick to respond and very helpful. She was also very accommodating for our 1 year old and had everything we needed. The only downside was that we went out of season so many of the nearby restaurants were closed. We were able to dive to some lovely restaurants, but places to eat within walking distance start to open after April. Overall an amazing stay!

Stalis Lux Beach Apartment
The apartment was ideally located, very close to the beach and restaurants, but we were not disturbed by any noise whatsoever. Plenty of space for a couple and a small child. The outdoor terrace has a good view of the sea. Magdalena was the perfect host, arranging transport to and from the airport and quickly responded to any questions we had. We basically had a very good time and will hopefully return in the future.

Amphitrite beach house (with private pool)
great place, perfect for a familh as well. A short walk to the beach and local taverns. A short drive to Agios Nicholas with great shopping and city walking.

Cosy house next to the beach
Matthaios's place is a really nice and well equipped private house with private garden, very-very close to the beach, in a calm and quiet environment, we liked it here a lot, came with a baby, she had super nice naps :) We got a lot of help from Matthaios, any question I had he responded accurately.

Steliana's House _Top Floor with Private Jacuzzi
Stella's Home was the most positive Airbnb experience I've ever had (and I've had some really lovely ones). The place is beautiful and the views are some of the best I've ever seen with the beach being only a 6 minute walk away. Stella was also an exceptional host. She stocked the fridge with some complementary groceries which made for a really positive start to our trip, especially after a day of traveling. It was also one of the most thoughtful things a host has done for one of my stays. Stella was also very communicative, checking in to make sure everything was going well for us and if we needed anything. The hot tub was amazing, the house was spotless and comfortable, the description of the space completely accurate. 5 days was not enough for us here and if I ever make it back to Crete, I will definitely be staying here again. Highly recommend!

Fissi villas agritourism accommodations
We (father, two children) booked Yanna's house for 9 days in April 2025. Yanna and her husband Yiannis gave us a warm welcome, and check-in was very easy. The house is beautifully situated on a hillside with an east-facing view toward the sunrise. You quickly learn to appreciate breakfast on the patio! The house was very clean, equipped with everything you need, and had comfortable beds. The highlight is certainly the outdoor area, which has been lovingly designed. The old coastal road is below the property, and traffic can be a bit annoying during the day on weekdays. However, it is quiet at night and on the weekends. A car is essential; it's a 10-15-minute drive to Agios Nikolaos (pleanty of restaurants and supermarkets). Yanna can give good tips for restaurants in the area. Cretan hospitality is well known, but Yanna and Yiannis have taken it to the next level!

Beachfront villa Phi, jacuzzi and amazing views
Incredible stay! The home is perched on a cliff with panoramic views of Agios Nikolaos and the sea. Clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed with plenty of space to relax. Peaceful, private, and just a short drive into town. Highly recommend.

LazarLux - One-Bedroom Suite Mountain or Pool View
The place was very luxuiriousy

Ammos Lux Suites - Astrèa Apartment Private Pool
Our stay was very pleasant. Maria very helpful and very friendly. The apartment is very clean easily accessible and with very nice style in terms of aesthetics and practicality at the same time. Definitely a super choice if you want to stay in Agio and be in a nodal point with a sea view.

"Havana 4" Sea and Pool
Our stay at Aleksandros went extremely well. We loved the place and the atmosphere of the place. The fact that the accommodation is in a beach club made it easy for us to enjoy the restaurant. The waiters were lovely! Our 2 year old son had space and could enjoy the pool as much as the beach. Small downside if you plan to stay on site to eat, the amenities of the accommodation remain limited but Aleksandros is available whenever needed. We highly recommend the place!!!

Beachfront Linum Escape Retreat Heated Pool
To say we had a fantastic stay would be an understatement. Irene, our host helped from the minute our feet hit the ground. She was there upon arrival offering a quick tour and helpful suggestions. She filled the fridge and pantry with snacks and breakfast items for us for the next morning. Not to mention homemade marmalade and marble cake. The kitchen was very well stocked, She then contacted us daily to help with restaurant recommendations, tips on things to do and researching ideas for us to make sure we had a good time. The villa had beautiful furniture, was pristinely clean (and I am picky about this). Bathrooms had everything you would need with nice quality linens. It was the best airbnb experience I have ever had. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again. Thanks so much Irene for making my first trip to Greece so fantastic!

New Villa HALO just 100m from the beach
Amazing place to stay and Jekaterina is the BEST host! She was so attentive to our needs and made such fantastic recommendations everyday, which made our stay even better. Thank you Jekaterina! We hope to see you again soon!

Fotini Anisaras Apartments "Α"
Only stayed for one night but this was a good place to stay. It is a bit small for two grown ups and two kids but if you keep things organized it's still a pleasant stay. WiFi was way too slow for remote work but connecting my laptop to my phone's hotspot saved the day. Maria was very friendly and helpful so this place is definitely a good option for couples and even families who don't need big indoor spaces.

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.

Sea Aura Crete-family seaside house in Ag. Pelagia
Very good accommodation! Good location and large and clean! Optimal comfort, everything is equipped and the little touches of the hosts were much appreciated!

Dejablu (Heraklion)
We really enjoyed our stay. Harry was very responsive and friendly. The house was really nice, just as described, and had everything we needed. The view is beautiful—if you wake up early, you can see the sun rise right in the center of the big window and watch it move all the way up. The location is good. We did hear some highway noise, and there was a friendly group of dogs that barked in the morning. But at least you could pet them they were sweet. The hot tub was nice. Although we didn’t use it as much as we thought we would. It’s on the roof, and since the house has a central spiral staircase, you need to come down it to get back inside. That made it a bit tricky with wet feet and the April nights were a bit too chilly to stay on the roof for too long after the tub. But we really enjoyed using the BBQ. Overall, we had a great time. Harry’s hospitality was top notch.

Wide Sea Suites with heated jacuzzi
We had a wonderful time in Giorgio's place. Everything was exactly like on the pictures. The host was extremely nice and available. The apartment had all we needed, super clean and beautiful. Thank you so much again. I recommend this place 100% for couples.

Joy garden house
A wonderful stay in a charming garden house. It has a great location, close to the city yet peaceful and quiet. There's ALWAYS hot water in the shower. The nearest beach is just a 5-minute walk along a sidewalk. A 10-minute drive will take you to the magical Vulisma Beach, with its incredible water color and afternoon shade from the cliff—perfect for those who prefer to avoid the sun. The host is amazing and always ready to assist her guests. The house is in a garden, so sometimes ants might visit, but we found insect repellent in the house and used it.

Apartment with garden by the sea
The place was very good, matching the descriptions and the photos. It is very easy to walk to the local beach or if you have a car, the drive to other beaches or the high road isn't long at all. The host was very helpful and super responsive to our messages. Great experience overall!

Stamatis 2 Sea View Family Luxury Apartment
We had a great stay at Matina’s place. It’s very comfortable and spacious. We loved the location, with some restaurants, small beach and our favourite Kimzu Sea Lounge just a couple of minutes walk away. For those that like a bit of exercise you can use the running track which is also very close. It’s also only about 10 minutes walk to the town and the lake. Check in and check out was very easy and the host was always available for any questions. Would definitely stay here again if we return to the area.

Seabliss Jacuzzi Suite with Hamam, Beachfront.
Great location, great hosts! A contact person on site at all times and fast communication. There are lots of free parking around the apartment. Gladly come again!

Junior suite by the beach - Lemon
Anestis was extremely helpful and pleasant and the place is amazing! Great view and sound of the water which was very relaxing. Close to a great beach town which was walkable.
