Iliovasilema Luxury Apartment with Private Pool
Lia was so helpful and amazing during our stay. Fast responses when asked questions, she provided us with not only comfort but made us feel like we are at home. We didn’t have a car so lia was kind enough to help us in every way possible. Lia was the best hostess we could have asked for and we are so grateful for her. Definitely the best place we have ever booked and we will definitely be recommending this to others and we will come back for sure!

Blue horizon, relaxing guesthouse with pool
We came 5 people - my husband and I, with our 2 children and my mother-in-law. First of all, a few days before we arrived Elena (an amazing woman with a perfect english) contacted me and made sure she has all the details so she can prepare a perfect stay for us. The house was super clean and equipped, and the outside was the best! We spent hours in the pool enjoying the amazing nature around us. Elena and her husband Yiorgos are wonderful people - they were very kind, caring and responsive. We wish we could come again next summer 🙏🏻

My home - with private heated swimming pool
A beautiful Crete getaway in a great home. Charikleia will always be there for you to answer your questions, give you good recommendations and even bring some traditional sweets. The accommodation is very well located, quiet and relaxing with all the equipment to be comfortable during the stay. You have nearby not even a 5-minute walk to a small convenience store and a 10-minute walk to the beach and small restaurants (be careful in early November only 4 open restaurants). To get to Elafonisi or Balos, plan to drive 3h10 and 3h45. For a family of three we really enjoyed this largely livable place as a family. The pool is a real plus. It was a great vacation and I really recommend this place. Thank you again for your kindness and generosity. Thanks for the three of us!

Stone Villa, near Heraklion
We had done a JGA at the place. And there was nothing missing. Food/drinks were provided. We were right in love and felt right at home. For 6 people it was great and we definitely succeeded in the surprise for the bride. About 15-20 minutes by car to Heraklion, which is absolutely fine. Xristos is super friendly and accommodating. If I have the opportunity again, I would always go to this Airbnb :). Unfortunately, the weather was not so optimal with us, but we still had a lot of fun. Thank you for the wonderful stay and the great arrival.

Modern House with Pool near Beach
Impeccable quality, a caring host, quietly located. Everything necessary is available. We had a wonderful stay.

Sunterra - Studio with pool !
Everything was well organized, the communication was good and the location was perfect. Great place to stay.

Ostrako luxurious villa with private pool
The pictures do not adequately capture the beauty of this place. We loved staying at Eleftherio’s home. They warmly greeted us and quickly made us feel like family. They treated us to many goodies and the house was perfectly ready for us. Modern upgrades throughout, wonderful spa like showers. The best though- The views of the mountains are breathtaking. We also loved visiting the village. The tavern gernios is not to be missed. There is a cafe, bakery, grocery and playground about a 12 minute walk away. Such a peaceful beautiful place- we did not want to leave.

Pamela's house (private pool and spa)
The place was spotless, clean, and tidy. Pamela welcomed us for our short stay in Heraklion. We were well settled there, about fifteen minutes' drive from the city center and 10 minutes from the airport, which made it easier to organize the end of our stay.

Filoxenia Apartment
Great place, comfortable for a couple and good location!

Eleni Luxury Maisonette with Jacuzzi
Its a great loft styled house that has an amazing patio/ rooftop! The place is also very conveniently located close to the highway and has lots of restaurants, shops, and pharmacies nearby! As its close to the airport, we did hear a lot of loud airplane taking off but it DID NOT bother us and it was very cool to see plane taking off in the hot tub! The hot tub was such a great addition to the space and the host provided bathrobes for our stay which was also a nice touch! It is placed in an area that is very private on the rooftop so you can totally enjoy with privacy. The host is great communicators and respond very promptly! The check out experience was very easy and they made it extra hassle free!

Venetian Gate- New, modern apt in city center
We enjoyed the apartment which was very well equipped and clean as it seems in foto. In case that I would make to come to Heraklion I would choose the same place, so from the heart I would recommend to others who come. Whether as a family or friends!

"Arismari" Studio 2 min from Mades organized Beach
Andy is a great woman and a great host, friendly, cheerful, we felt at home with her. Separate entrance, rest in peace and quiet. The studio is very clean and cozy, it was nice to spend time on the terrace full of flowers. She hosted us as if we were her closest family. I greet and recommend this place with all my heart♥️. See you, Andy 😘

SEA and SUN
Beautiful little house literally five minutes walk from the beach. There is even a lovely little garden outside with plenty of sun and sea breeze. The location is excellent, there are restaurants and supermarkets within just a few minutes walk. Despina is a wonderful and kind host. I really enjoyed staying here and would love to return.

Elegant city Apartment, Heraklion
Nikos went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The property is modern, clean and well equipped. I highly recommend this as a place to stay.

Anantia Luxury Maisonette - Scenic View
My wife and I toured the Villa in the listing, and it was absolutely gorgeous, but we stayed at the single story Villa below and our review will reflect our experience there. One thing worth noting about the listed Villa is that it is two stories, both beautifully appointed. Our single story Villa, a part of the same complex, was beautiful, peaceful, and restful. The Villa was impeccably clean, the space spacious and airy, completely modern and luxurious but without pretense. I could live there year round and count myself fortunate. The location is fifteen or twenty minutes from a number of popular beaches, yet in the countryside far from the noise, clutter, and confusion of the city. The town has everything you need and nothing you don’t. If anything could be better than the villa it’s the host, Manos. Manos is the most friendly and generous host imaginable; a gentleman and beautiful person in every sense. If I have any regrets about the villa it’s that I didn’t book it for longer.

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.

"Eleni" Sea Luxury Apartment
Together with my wife and daughter I really did enjoy our stay at Elenis Apartment! We had to leave Crete earlier than expected (due to some private stuff). Eleni was very understanding and accepted our request of shortening the stay. We got a refund of 3 days which was very accommodating!! The flat got everything you need, we spent most of our time on the balcony looking at the sea. The beach close by is nice and quiet. The next restaurant is in walking distance of 25minutes, we do recommend a rental car though.

Avra Summer Living | Private Jacuzzi | Steps toSea
Modern accommodation close to the beach and all the restaurants in Agia Pelagia. Jacuzzi is a nice extra. Quiet. Host was helpful. If you come by car: the minor access road is steep. We enjoyed our stay.

House by the sea 4 Seasons Villa *Private parking!
The place is exactly like in the photos and Anna is a great host! We had a great time staying there for our girls trip. The place is 5-7 min by foot to the sea and nearest beach & restaurants. Anna was always very kind and responsive when we needed to reach out to her for any questions. I recommend this place to everyone and will stay there again the next time I’m in Crete.

La Luna Suites 2
La Luna Sweet is a great place for everyone. We were there for a week and it was perfect ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Maria greeted us in person and took care of everything. Thank you so much and we wish you wonderful guests

Villa Yiorgos
Our stay at the villa was just memorable! Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by Mr. Georgios, who took a lot of time to explain everything to us in peace. You can immediately feel his attention to detail and hospitality. The view is a real highlight: from the terrace you have a breathtaking view over the sparkling sea – like a painting! Waking up in the morning with this view and enjoying the sunset over the water in the evening was simply magical. The hosts are incredibly friendly and warm – you immediately feel at home. The villa itself is well equipped, very clean and offers everything you need for a relaxing vacation. A place to dream and unwind – we are guaranteed to come back!

Revamped Minimalist Stone Country House
I stayed with my wife and in-laws for three nights. The home was spacious and we enjoyed having the extra room. Thomais left us some treats in the fridge. A great home base. Note the beds are the firm side. The main living area has Air Conditioning but the upstairs bedrooms did not.

Esion Villas
The hosts were very nice and helpful

Alcyone Country Apartment with pool and Sea View
The listing is located in the countryside surrounded by tranquility just 10 minutes from the main road. The house is clean and tidy and the hosts are very kind and very quick to respond. I had a really good time at a great price. For cat lovers, know that you will be surrounded by some kitties every morning eager for attention and food, don't deny them a can as they are so tender.🥹
