Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Gazi

Magdalena and her husband Marinos were extremely kind. They picked us up from the airport after our flight was delayed over 11hrs. They made us feel right at home and the fridge was stocked with an assortment of drinks, bread, meat & cheese. The place is very spacious and comfortable. Used the washer and air dried our clothes no problem. One of the bathrooms has a huge assortment of different products to use that were great. If we asked a question, it was answered right away. Feel like we have made life long friends here. So much hospitality! Would highly recommend this place.

We had a great time in the apartment! You need a car, because otherwise you can't do much. If we had problems, someone was always quick to help and everyone was super nice and friendly! We would definitely go back.

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 🙏🏻

Hello. The place perfectly matches the photos, the outdoor patio is very nice. Host was very responsive in answering our various questions

Huge thanks to my hosts Nikoleta and Alexis! I loved staying at their gorgeous "landscape" apartment -- the photos don't do it justice! It's super peaceful and serene, with lovely views and landscaping and Alexis' art, plus some adorable visiting cats and a wonderful shady secluded area to sit outside. I arrived rather late (c 8 pm) but Nikoleta had been very proactively communicative and ensured I had perfect directions to the place. She was waiting there when I arrived and not only welcomed me warmly but also went far above and beyond, even offering me a bite to eat which Alexis kindly and deliciously prepared. They thought of everything and left so much food and so many supplies for me, even full breakfast supplies, very effective mosquito repellant and all toiletries/linens/etc. I fell in love with the place and the vibe, and especially appreciated being able to walk in less than five minutes down to the Knossos site when it opened at 8. Ten stars, I hope to stay again for longer!

Dimitris's studio was very comfortable and clean when we arrived. The check in is very easy and Dimitris is a friendly and responsive host, checking to make sure we had everything we needed. The apartment is within walking distance to everything we wanted to see and close to the bus stop to go to Knossos Palace. A very nice stay in Heraklion!

This property is on the top of our list of all of the Super-host level properties we’ve been at whether Air B&B or any other platform. Premium quality and high marks for design aesthetics promoting maximum relaxation inside or in the yard with breathtaking views all day long and spectacular sunsets. All meals at the property must be had out doors! It was a perfect retreat after long days of sightseeing. We would rent it again in a heartbeat and will recommend it to family. John & Autumn

May 2025, 10 nights stay for three (2 adults, 1 toddler). Villa is really fantastic. Beautiful view of the sea and the bay. It offers plenty of space for more people (2 couples, 4-6 friends, 2 families) and for longer stays (storage space, cupboards and shelves, etc.). The furnishings correspond to the description and offer, even in the kitchen, everything you need. Our highlight was the covered terrace. Our flight was moved up at short notice. A significantly earlier check-in was no problem at all in our case. Stelios is a very friendly, helpful and dedicated host. We recommend him and his villa without reservation. Small restriction: the accommodation is a bit off the beaten track or the region is a bit scattered (mainly due to the geography of the terrain). Without your own car, it will be a bit difficult in our opinion. However, there is a free parking space directly at the house.

The apartment was beautiful, right on the water, with so many conveniences - stores, restaurants, etc. We received so many, perfect recommendations on places to eat, beaches to visit, wineries, etc. Thank you for an amazing experience!

Because of unforeseen circumstances, we only had one day in Crete. This was the perfect place to stay. It was centrally located. It was beautiful and comfortable.

Best place in Ammoudara beach. Great apartment with large terraze. You can use swimming pool and beach beds. Beach bar with homemade delicious greek food. Family business very friendly. Close to public transport 20 mins from Heraklion centre

The apartment in residental area. It was spacious and clean. It had everything that family with babies needs - baby bed, baby chair, potty, toys, stove, microwave, clean towels, paper towels, soft toilet paper, even beach towels. Soft comfortable beds. It even had UK power adapter. Note that apartment is on second floor without a lift. Despite outside being 37C, inside is comfortably cool even without air conditioning. Host is friendly, caring and responsive. Even prepared some meal for our arrival. Grainy sand beach is walking distance across the road. It had some seaweed and trash in it and we collected some. You are welcome. Rocks start to appear 25-30 meters from shoreline. It was most of the time uncomfortably windy. Residental area, not much around. No walking distance parks or benches. Nearest free playground 2km away. Closest paid playground is near the shop, very close, 8eur per kid. 10/10 overall, because we traveled a lot and did not stay put.

Great clean place, only 10 minutes walk to the beach. Big rooms, filled with everything you may need. Nice treats, easy self check-in, everything is pretty great. Only bad thing is that if you are using public transport, busses are sometimes delayed and it is not possible to go to the center by walking (7 km) Owner answers fast and precisely. Overall great experience

Sula and Theo were absolutely wonderful hosts, so friendly, warm and welcoming. They were responsive to any questions we had, spent time talking to us and in general were just lovely people. The flat was also perfect, very close walk to the beach and with wonderful and affordable places to eat close by, and with a beautiful garden. Perfect stay :)

We stayed in a really well furnished home, with all possible comforts available. The host is really nice and welcoming. The only thing is the neighborhood, quiet but a little shabby. However the house is amazing, we couldn't ask for better

This is a good place to stay, we had a great time, helpful hosts, good atmosphere.

We had an exceptional stay at Tasos. The apartment is even more beautiful in real life than in the photos, with a breathtaking view of the sea that literally takes your breath away. The private jacuzzi is a real plus, offering incomparable moments of relaxation. The apartment is perfectly equipped, everything is thought of for your comfort. In addition, you are less than a 10-minute walk from Agia Beach and the best restaurants in the area, ideal for enjoying the area. Tasos is a very attentive and responsive host, who does everything to make your stay absolutely perfect. You can book without so much so so, you won't be disappointed. P.S. Don't forget to feed the little cat of the residence, he is absolutely adorable. 😉

We had an amazing time. Manolis is very helpful and friendly. He gave us some great recommendations of beaches to go to and restaurants. The apartment is in a great location. It has everything you need and is really nicely decorated and very clean. If we end up in Agios Nikolaos again we will definitely stay there again

Stayed 2 nights in Heraklion at this property. It is as described and in the photos. Perfectly located for a very short walk to nearby bars and restaurants. Great local food recommendations. No noise in the evenings even though close to the busy district.

Amazing spot! Would definitely stay there again

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.

Small clean renovated house, easy communication with the Host, when we visit Heraklion again we will stay there again.

Christina’s studio is impeccable, walking distance from the city center. Plenty of good restaurants nearby. Highly recommended!

Kostis’ apartment is cozy, clean and extremely well located. The terrace is spectacular, offering great views of the ocean and an amazing sunset. We truly appreciated Kostis’ hospitality, always one step ahead of our needs with timely communication and great local recommendations.
