Villa Alma in Crete, Sea View 2min from the beach!
nous avons passé une belle semaine dans le logement de Maria. La terrasse couverte est la plus belle pièce de la maison avec une vue magnifique sur la mer. La plage est à moins de 5 min à pied, par contre attention, pour les personnes qui ont des difficultés à marcher, la pente est plutôt raide à remonter. Maria est très réactive et répond très vite aux messages. agia pelagia reste une petite station balnéaire très bien situé pour visiter le Nord de l'île. Belle découverte

Luxury Villa with Private pool next to sandy beach
The pictures don’t do this view justice. It’s breathtaking! The home is gorgeous and the outdoor space is wonderful. It was too cold for us to swim but we still enjoyed time at the beach. Most of the immediate area was already shut down for the season during our stay but there is a lovely area about a mile walk away. We spent a lot of time there enjoying the coffee shops and restaurants. The house and rooms were fantastic and there was more than enough space for everyone to relax. The host was amazing and went above and beyond to help us when we left some glasses at a restaurant. Thank you so much for a great stay!!

Dion house 🏡🏡
Athina und ihre Familie sind tolle Gastgeber, sehr herzlich und hilfsbereit. Sie machen es mit Herz, dass merkt man. Besser kann man es nicht machen! Sie sind auch jederzeit erreichbar, wenn man Fragen hat, einfach toll! Die Unterkunft ist wie auf den Bildern. Wir waren mit unserem kleinen Sohn und Hund da, beide wurden sehr herzlich empfangen. Für Kinder sind Buddelzeug, Kinderstühle und Planschbecken vorhanden. Wir haben auch einige tolle Gastgeschenke erhalten, was ebenso sehr nett ist. (Obst, Olivenöl, Wein und selbstgemachte Kleinigkeiten) Parkplätze findet man immer, entweder auf dem Grundstück oder an der Straße. Mit dem Auto erreicht man in kurzer Zeit viele tolle Restaurants und einen tollen Sandstrand. Die Nachbarn sind ebenso sehr nett. Wir können es für Familien nur empfehlen!

New Villa HALO just 100m from the beach
Jekaterina hat uns sehr herzlich und super flexibel empfangen. Unser Flug hatte abends Verspätung und dann waren unsere Koffer auch noch weg. Sie hat sofort ihre Hilfe angeboten und super schnell auf fragen reagiert. Sie macht das ganze Management rund ums Haus ganz, ganz toll! Das Haus ist genauso wie in der Beschreibung. Eine fantastische Außenanlagen und in 3 min ist man am Strand. Wir bedanken uns recht herzlich bei Jekaterina, dass sie unser Host war und schicken ganz liebe Grüße nach Kreta.

Seaview studio
Vielen lieben Dank Vasilis, wir haben uns während unseres Aufenthaltes sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Lage war prima und der Balkon ein echtes Highlight. Ich würde die Unterkunft jederzeit weiterempfehlen.

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.

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!

STUDIO NEAR THE SEA
Excellent séjour chez Myron qui nous a proposé de venir nous chercher à l’aéroport. En moins de 20 minutes, nous étions à destination avec en prime un accueil chaleureux et des informations très utiles. Le logement, en tous points conforme aux photos et à la description, est idéal pour deux, tout y est très bien pensé. Il est situé à 100 m de la plage et du Havana Beach Bar (qui propose des transats gratuits pour peu qu’on prenne une consommation et de bons plats faits maison) et de plusieurs tavernes offrant une cuisine traditionnelle Crétoise d’un excellent rapport qualité/prix. L’arrêt du bus pour Heraklion est à 200 m et vous y conduit en une trentaine de minutes selon la circulation, il y a aussi un bus express pour le Palais de Cnossos. Nous recommandons à 100%.

Ammos Beachfront Luxury Apartment
Vasilis and Magdalena were amazing to deal with, responding immediately no matter the time. The accommodations are excellent, spacious, comfortable with each of the 3 bedrooms having their own bathroom and perfectly located on the 7 km beach with the bonus use of the pool next door. There is parking but it’s a narrow dead end street and we did get stuck a number of times behind service trucks for the restaurant next door. Easy access by bus into the town centre. It’s a perfect holiday spot for large families and friends.

Sunterra - Studio with pool
I have been travelling all around Europe for the past 4 months and this was the best stay we have had. The host was welcoming, responsive and the space was so clean and beautiful. Could not recommend staying here more.

Στουντιο στην Αγια Πελαγια με πισινα
Dora and her family were so friendly and helpful. Dora collected us from the bus and arrived the next morning with a pot of soup. Delicious. Everything about the accommodation was amazing. A lovely apartment nice pool area , nice walks. Bravo restaurant and staff are fantastic. Antonis is so friendly and welcoming. It’s our favourite restaurant. I would highly recommend this Airbnb

Fotini Anisaras Apartments "Α"
J’ai passé un excellent séjour ! Merci pour votre accueil chaleureux, ainsi que votre réactivité et flexibilité. Le airbnb est très bien placé : environ 20-25 min d’Heraklion en voiture et 10 min du centre d’Hersonissos, n’étant pas véhiculée je me suis déplacée en bus ou en taxi, il y arrêt juste en face du logement (au zorbas village hôtel) ou un autre arrêt à environ 15-20 minutes de marche. Il est mieux d’avoir une voiture pour se déplacer, aller faire les courses car le airbnb est un peu excentré, il n’y a pas d’hypermarché à proximité à pied, c’est une zone touristique avec beaucoup d’hôtels, le café molo en face propose des transats gratuits. L’emplacement est très agréable et safe, il y a par contre beaucoup de passage de bus, taxis, voitures mais qui n’est pas trop dérangeant. La mer est juste en face à même pas 2 minutes, la vue du jardin est super (sur la mer et les montagnes). Le logement est confortable et parfait pour une ou 2 personnes. Je reviendrai avec grand plaisir

Villa Sunrise Majestic Seaview with Private Pool
Met een groep van 9 vrienden een fantastisch verblijf gehad. Het huis was prachtig en de tuin met zwembad ook ook. Ook erg aardig dat we bij het uitchecken nog konden verblijven in een ander resort van manolis voordat we naar het vliegveld moesten. Dankjewel namens alle boys!

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.

* *AmmiraMare | Poolside Relaxation Near the Beach
We enjoyed the stay in Fanis's place and recommend it. We had plenty of room for 3 people, and we liked the the fact that is looks more modern then some of the other places. We enjoyed breakfast at balconies, soaking the sun in, everything you need for cooking etc. is there, even a sandwich grill. Fanis was always quick to respond and helped us with any questions. As for the surroundings, we really enjoyed walking to Agia Pelagia beach (a 15-minute walk) and spending our day there, there are some good cafes and restaurants.

Beach front apartment with swimming pool
We had a wonderful stay at Dimitrios’ house in Lygaria! The home is spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing holiday. The view from the balcony is breathtaking, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. The location is ideal: peaceful and quiet, yet just a short walk to the beach and local tavernas. Dimitrios was an exceptional host, welcoming, responsive, and full of helpful tips to make our stay even better. One thing to note is that there are sound monitors inside the house. We’d highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing escape in Crete.

"8 Waves" Varsamas
Die Wohnung ist tadellos und wie beschrieben. Katerina ist sehr freundlich, immer erreichbar und hilft bei allem. Wir hatten eine herrliche Woche. Definitiv zu empfehlen!

The Garden Room, 50m from beach, unique property.
Bonjour, Nous avons séjourné dans la petite maison de Manos pendant une semaine, nous avons pu profiter d un petit jardin ombragé très agréable, le quartier est calme. la maison est très bien située pour visiter la côte nord, elle est fonctionnelle, toutes les photos correspondent bien à l endroit.. Vous pouvez manger au resto à proximité ou faire un barbecue sur place, de nombreux commerces à quelques pas... La mer juste à côté...c était juste parfait ! Excellentes vacances en Crête

Komissa's Beach House
5 stars are not enough to give Komissa's. The home is beautiful, historic and unbelievably located. It was not lacking in any amenity and if it was Yvonne was available to provide it. I cannot say enough about how wonderful my stay was. Yvonne is a fabulous hostess; every recommendation was spot on and she was kind enough to take me to her favorite taverna where we were treated like queens. She goes the extra mile (kilometer) to ensure you have everything you could want or need. She makes sure you see the "real" Crete, not just what the tour books tell you. While the pictures are 100% accurate and completely represent the home, u you cannot see just how centrally located the home is until you are there. And the rooftop! So peaceful and surrounded by so many beautiful plants I cannot wait to come back, now that I've traveled through Greece, i can spend my entire vacation at Yvonne's home. 100 stars all the way and i can't wait to come back to Ag.Pelagia! Efcharisto Yvonne!

Anfi Suites 3
Ich habe mich unglaublich wohl gefühlt. Der Blick auf das Meer war traumhaft. Da überall Restaurants und Hotels sind, war abends Musik zu hören, aber mit geschlossenen Türen war alles ruhig. Es war super sauber und alles da, was man brauchte.

Coast Suite-Luxury Central Beach House
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!

" 9 Waves " Varsamas
The apartment is in a great location for the beach, and an easy walk to restaurants. Eleni thought of everything, from offering suggestions, to plush bathrobes and slippers, to coffee supplies. There were even little welcome and parting gifts. The only problem we had was finding it initially, probably because we're old and American!
