Apartment holiday rentals in Istro

One of the best Airbnbs I've ever stayed in. Perfect location, pristine clean, and very well furnished. Responsive and friendly host too. If I visit Crete again, I'm going to try and stay here.

Manolis was accommodating and showed around the apt. the pool was nice to be at when you've been at the beach all day. could absolutely stay longer

My boyfriend and I spent five nights here for my 22nd birthday and it did not disappoint. The photos on here do not do the place justice and the local area is just the right amount of quiet busy also with an abundance of restaurants and bars. We didn’t get a hire car as we managed with the local buses as they are so much cheaper and we were able to get to beaches such as Saridari and Paralia Psaromoura, which we would recommend. We also would highly recommend a boat tour to Dia island if you are able too. Restaurant wise in Gournes we cannot recommend Nami Restaurant enough and it is a must! The beach opposite is a lovely shallow beach but we aware it can be quite windy hence why we explored other beaches - would advise if u go to these beaches you leave early (especially if u want a sun lounger)! Already missing this place and Giorgo of course. All the best, Millie and Nathan :))

A good base for excursions in the east of the island. We were welcomed with homemade oil and rhaki and Easter bread. A very nice gesture. For us, it was a relaxing time, everything fit.

Every aspect was wonderful! Close to everything with car but absolutely private and everyone there is like family. Above and beyond for sure

We spent 5 days in Cora's beautiful accommodation and can recommend it 100%. Everything looks exactly like the photos, very tasteful, clean and cozy. From the balcony you have a wonderful view of the valley, directly behind the house the hike through the Kritsa gorge begins and the village itself is charming and has all sorts of things (arts and crafts) to offer. During our stay, we had two concerns that we addressed with Cora. She was immediately available, super friendly and helpful. We will be happy to come back.

We felt very comfortable with Anna and Hans. The two are really very friendly. We were warmly welcomed and greeted with raki and Anna's homemade baked goods. Since both speak German, we were also able to have a chat or two. We received tips for activities in the area. The apartment is quietly located and has everything you need. The kitchen is very well equipped, even with spices. It was always an experience to enjoy the beautiful sunsets on the balcony. We will be happy to come back.

We stayed for a couple of nights and didn’t want to leave! The views and location are absolutely stunning. The wonderful caretaker, Kokka, brought us fresh tomatoes every day and introduced us to all of her cousins -we truly felt like locals. Nick is a Superhost extraordinaire -incredibly kind, with lightning-fast responses and wonderful conversation. Also loved Manros’ Melydron Beach Bar and Stefanos Taverna Exipiretisis -both were highlights of our stay! Lastly Georgios’ Porto at the end of the beach had the best pizza and pasta in town. We can’t wait to return next year!

Apartment very well located, clean on arrival, some fruit and enough to eat, very appreciable, thank you, I recommend it.

Everything has already been said, it's just unbelievable. Popi embodies Greek hospitality. There were drinks and vegetables in the refrigerator. You could help yourself in their beautiful garden. The highlight was the great food. We had fresh fish and many different vegetarian things. Simply delicious. Unfortunately, it was only 4 days, but they were great. We would come back anytime. Thank you Popi

A nice clean studio, quiet and in a good location. Mike provided us with all the necessary information and was very responsive to our requests. The beach located a stone's throw away is very pleasant!! Good stay

Fantastic apartment in a beautiful location. Very clean, fixtures and furnishings of a high standard. Shops and restaurants on the doorstep but still very peaceful. Amazing balcony on the edge of the sea.

The Location was perfect with beautiful views , nature, close to restaurants and very quit . The apartment is very clean and has everything you need. Eliza was responsive, flexible, friendly and very welcoming. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We spent 3 dream days in the apartment of Nikos and Chryssa's house. The apartment is consistent with the photos, very clean and very well equipped. The interior is very comfortable too. But the most impressive is the breathtaking view of the sea, the bay and the city of Agios Nikolaos. Day or night, it's magical! Our hosts were very attentive (eggs and fruits from the garden as a gift) and discreet. Please note that a car is essential for this accommodation. I recommend this accommodation, we will be back!

We enjoyed our stay very much! Nice view! Recommendation!

We loved the central location of this Airbnb and the sea view. The front porch was delightful! Agios Nikolaos was a great place to relax in for a few days after a whirlwind cruise through 9 other islands. We were able to settle in and explore the town. It’s not as touristy as many other islands we saw, and we liked that! Felt like locals by the time we left. Just what we were looking for. We had a small rental car, stick shift, and found the hilly street parking slightly challenging, but we figured it out. Took a lovely drive to a Elounda, stunning views. Owner was very responsive to our occasional questions.

Although we booked for 3 people and it was only prepared for 2, the host was very quick and helpful in solving the problem! Very good room and conditions :)

It was just nice to vacation in the beautifully renovated old town house. Georgios was always available, even wanted to help us when we had an accident with the rental car. You live very privately and from the roof terrace you have a beautiful view, you can even watch the fishermen.

We had an amazing stay. The location was perfect, with tons of walkable restaurants and bars nearby. There was so much going on in the area, and the lively atmosphere made it really fun to explore. One of our favorite parts was the hot tub on the balcony. It was the perfect place to relax at the end of the day. The homemade wine was a really nice touch and absolutely delicious. We’d definitely come back.

amazing stay and we enjoyed the welcome gifts. thank you again for a great stay!

We had a wonderful stay from 06/15 to 06/23! The accommodation is beautifully located – slightly elevated with a fantastic view of the surrounding olive groves. The decor is tasteful and cozy, everything was very clean and well maintained. We were particularly pleased with the lovely welcome gift with raki and small snacks - a great gesture! Communication with the hosts was consistently excellent, we always got a response very quickly. A small flaw: The small room with the double bed has no window, only the small one at the entrance door. Otherwise, everything was really great – we can absolutely recommend the accommodation and will be happy to come back!

We had a great time at Manolis' place! We will gladly book again next time. :-)

Great place, as described and clean.

This is absolutely the best airbnb any of us had ever been to! The place was absolutely spotless and looked better than the pictures - it was so so lovely to have the private garden area which is something most other airbnb’s in the area don’t have. Evangelia was so lovely and helpful, nothing was too much to ask - she even woke up at 4am to say goodbye before our flight! Overall we have the best time and I would recommend it to anyone who is staying in the area, Thank you so much for such a lovely time Evangelia!!
