Waterfront holiday rentals in Decentralized Administration of Crete

The place was exactly what we expected and very comfortable and clean. The host was flexible with us for checking in and was there to greet us when we arrived. The host provided information to help us schedule our taxi to the port to catch our early morning ferry. The location was perfect with everything we wanted in walking distance.

We really enjoyed our stay at Stratos’ flat. It was comfortable, clean, and had beautiful views of the sea from the balcony. It was well situated for the beach and only a short walk away from the old town. Stratos was a great host- he was extremely responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Thank you!

We had the pleasure of staying in Rena's apartment from 26/5 to 2/6/25 and it was a fantastic experience! The apartment was as described, but the view from the terrace exceeded expectations! Unfortunately, we were unable to meet Rena in person, but she was always available for our every request. She had warned us in advance that the village market would still be closed, so we were able to stock up on groceries before arriving, but she still made sure we had everything we needed in the house (thank you again!). In the house, there is every type of useful accessory for the kitchen, but also some thoughtful touches that I have never found on other occasions! The road to reach this small village is quite winding, but we felt so good there that we only moved once. There are 2/3 beaches (where we were often alone) reachable with a nice walk in the middle of nowhere breathing the scent of oregano! We hope to be back!

What a gem! The location is right at the harbor with a nice balcony overlooking the square. It’s the perfect location to enjoy the scenery, walk to many historic sights, wander through the streets of the Old Town, and countless restaurants. It’s also walking distance to the main bus station. The rooms are as beautiful as the photos show and you can see Iosif has taken time to create a comfortable and tastefully decorated place for guests. Fully equipped and the host kindly left us fruit, cookies, and a local wine. Iosif is great with communicating the check in instructions (with photos) and answering all questions. Highly recommend you stay here!

A lovely base for exploring the area, close to the harbour to easily get to Spinalonga. Irini was so helpful, the view from the balcony was worth every penny. We are already looking to book again next year :)

One-of-a-kind, beautiful stay. If you’re lucky enough to find Stelios and Nina’s home available, book it. The most unique Airbnb I’ve stayed in. Wonderful hosts. Prime location. Gorgeous home with an amazing balcony. 10/10.

Was a really beautiful apartment, so peaceful.

Modern construction and large, quiet with good aircon . Janika helpful in every way.

Gorgeous place to stay and a fantastic host! Harry was a magnificent host and his property was a beautifully designed, well appointed home. We especially enjoyed the hot tub on the roof and the location being away from town was nice. Two nice restaurants and a beach are nearby and it has easy access to the highway which gets you Heraklion very quickly. My only criticism of the area is that there were a lot of cars going by late at night with very loud music which woke us up a few times. This of course was nothing that could be prevented by the host or the location it just happened several times so I wanted to make note of it. If my travels ever take me here again I will definitely be booking this beautiful, contemporary Airbnb! Thanks so much Harry!

We really enjoyed our stay at this accommodation! The highlight was definitely the beautiful terrace with its stunning sea view – the perfect spot to start or end the day. The location is also excellent, with many lovely restaurants within walking distance, which we truly appreciated. It was also a great base for exploring the area by car. The designated parking spot is about 200–300 meters away – during our stay, there was always something available, so it worked out just fine. All in all, a wonderful place that we would happily recommend!

We spent wonderful and relaxing holidays in Dimitri's apartment. The apartment is fantastically beautiful and tastefully furnished, with high-quality furniture and it really lacks nothing. The terrace has a unique beautiful view of the sea and we spent many beautiful hours there. Dimitris is super friendly, always available and with helpful tips for excursions, restaurants, etc. he helped us a lot. He also organized the transfer from the airport and it worked out perfectly. The location of the apartment is also perfect. Supermarket and restaurants are within walking distance and the bus station is just across the street. We highly recommend the apartment, for us the most beautiful so far and we will gladly think back to the time and come back soon.

This house is absolutely stunning! It is even more impressive in person than in the photos. The view took our breath away every morning ! The house is about 10 minutes from Kissamos which is the small town where we bought food to cook at home. I do advise renting a car to get to the surrounding towns and beaches. The host, Ria, was incredibly communicative prior to our arrival and just as accommodating once we got there. Our flight was delayed and we didn’t arrive until almost midnight. She was so kind to provide us with food and coffee for breakfast as well as some olive oil made from her family’s business. Ria was so welcoming and helpful! We felt very safe and at peace in the house (we visited with our 3 children who are 7, 10, and 11). This was by far our favorite vacation and we look forward to returning! We highly recommend! 🙌🏻

Very nice accommodation, with really great amenities. It is exactly as described and as shown in the pictures. There was already a very good selection of food, as well as lots of fresh fruit and water. Check-in /out via key box very uncomplicated and flexible. Our absolute highlight, the roof terrace with the fantastic view. Communication with the owner was flawless. Many thanks to Fanis

We had a wonderful & relaxing break. The location & outside space were amazing. The host was kind & generous. We will definitely come back. Thank you for all the little gifts.

lovely appartment, great host. Thanks!

The owners of this place were amazing! They were so nice! The apartment is very clean and organized. The view is absolutely stunning from this place! Recommending everyone to stay here! Would stay here again if we ever visited!

Wow! We went to a bachelorette party 4 girls and it was simply amazing! George was long before the trip spoke to me on whatsapp and was available for all my questions. Booked us a taxi from the airport that arrived just on time and everything was very clear through whatsapp. Also at the entrance to the property, George received us, took luggage ( until check-in) and kept them in a secure room. The property is stunning and just right,cozy, clean, quiet neighborhood and right next to all the fun - exactly five minutes walking distance. Buy us some nibbles that were waiting for us in the room, was always available for questions and recommendations for us and even made me really good and took me a ride to the massage he had booked for me in advance in the area. Really was just perfect. I really recommend to anyone who wants to clear their minds and get reliable and professional service above and beyond.

Loved our stay here! The location is great. There is a view of the water and it’s very close walking distance to old town. Parking was really very close. It was usually pretty full, but we always found a spot.

We had a great time at Fotis and Amalia’s place. Definitely one of the cleanest places we’ve stayed! The location was perfect as we like to stay just outside of the hustle and bustle but close enough so we can dip in and out with ease. There’s plenty of bakeries, restaurants and supermarkets around. The views are just outstanding and we ended up getting food a few times to eat at home as we enjoyed to look at the sea from the house. It was also easy to cook, there’s plenty of utensils if you wish to prep a meal in. The bed was really comfortable, as I’m 7 months pregnant asked if we could have a couple of extra pillows and this was ready for our arrival. We were pleasantly surprised with the amount of groceries we had available at the house too! Fresh fruit (we loved making our own fresh orange juice in the morning!), bread, butter and many other snacks! Fotis was also great at recommending places to visit like beaches, restaurants and museums. We 100% recommend this place!

I‘m more that happy that we decided to stay at Dimitri‘s place. He ish very kind and helped us right away, if we had any questions. The location is peaceful and has a great view. The beach is not far away and the size of the apartment is just perfekt for a single person or a couple. I will definitely visit again.

The apartment is a gem in Ierapetra. Lovingly furnished, as good as new, extremely clean, and equipped with absolutely everything you need. The sea is 50 meters across the street; at night, you can hear the waves from your bed. Niko is a wonderful host who always responds promptly and is happy to give tips. Highly recommended if you're planning to visit the eastern part of Crete.

The apartment is perfectly located to explore the island, you are in the center of the island, immediately on the highway (recommendation: before moving in, be sure to practice driving backwards to the mountain!!) and yet the apartment is very quiet and has a great view of the sea. Especially the small balcony directly above the sea appealed to us, even if it might be a little too hot/not shaded in summer. Here you can also quickly make friends with the 4 cats, who occasionally also drive the neighbor dog to whiteness. Those who are afraid of cats should prefer to look for another apartment with these attached specimens, cat lovers will love it. Marianna's mother is a good soul, bringing eggs from the in-house chickens as well as fresh fruit and vegetables. All in all for us the perfect place to combine exploring the island with relaxation.

5 things we loved 🥰 : 1. The proximity to the sea: going to the beach around the corner and go for a swim 2. The huge terrasse with the table where we had breakfast and yoga every morning outside 3. The very well equipped and cosy apartment from hair dryer to toaster, from books to jazz CD's 4. The proximity to everything ; the town via multiple ways along the coastal path. 5. The warm welcome from Christina Plus the ease to park the car at the end of the street We recommend this apartment and would love to come back

We had a really great stay at Hersonissos. The apartment was in a perfect position in the town and the host was extremely helpful and friendly. The only issue for me was having mobility issues the stairs were hard work, but I knew that was going to be the case and it was not misrepresented at all. So just be wary if you’re the same, but being extra careful to get up to the top sundeck was definitely worth it for the views - thank you!
