Holiday rentals in Nea Presos

Iosif is a wonderful host. Not only as a welcome, but also in between, there was always fresh fruit and delicacies from the region. Iosif also informed and advised us on events and activities in the area. We enjoyed the tranquility and the view of the bay. A beautiful place to relax and explore the surroundings.

It was a pleasure and a nice experience to stay at Thanos's place! A perfect place for those who prefer to experience real Crete beyond the tourist crowds and in a peaceful way. The small village is adorable, the local tavern is amazing, the location also suits well for setting up a base to explore the island - the peaceful, distant beaches are just a 30-50 minutes drive away. The place itself is a gem, if you appreciate an experience to stay in the authentic surroundings and the host was always responsive and very welcoming! Would return there next time for sure!

Beautiful house and garden, incredible location, amazing views. We stayed 2 adults and two children (7 and 9), sleeping on the main bed upstairs + the convertible sofa downstairs. It's not a big house, but if you, like us, appreciate some compact living, I can totally recommend this place also for a family with children. A truly unique experience!

Armeni is a small village located in a Cretan mountains plateau. Stone Mansion, placed at the calm edge of the village, is a beautiful summer house, deserving its name. It hosts 3 apartments, with a large common yard/terrace. I was the only guest at the time, so I had all the luxury just for myself. The terrace itself and the surroundings offer majestic sky views with hypnotic sounds of pristine nature (frogs?) at night. In the morning, you are greeted with the calling of hysterical roosters. An authentic, rural, countryside at its best. The rooms are cosy, spacious and airy, modern, and fully equipped for a comfortable life. The nearest coast is located ~20 minutes by car, I loved a little bit more distant Xerokampos for its diverse beaches, dubbed "Greek Maldives". Eva and her mom were genuinely warm and forthcoming as hosts, even though we met just briefly. Greeted me with fruit and homemade cookies, communicated well on chat. This was despite my late notice and on Sunday. Thanks!<3

We had an exceptional time at Maria's. The house is beautiful, perched in a small preserved hamlet. Everything is perfect, nothing is missing for you to be comfortable and especially the decoration is splendid. The kitchen equipment, the quality of the linen: everything is tasteful and appreciable. We were welcomed like royalty, the fridge was full, it was incredible. In addition, we shared several meals with Elsa, Adonis, her husband and locals. These were moments of great friendship, where we were able to discuss Greek culture and music. Don't miss this place, it's an unforgettable experience. Once again, Greek hospitality takes on its full meaning.

I have only good things to say about this home, I was extremely happy with my stay here. The space is clean, comfortable and thoughtfully created. The hosts are warm and provided incredible Cretan hospitality. I felt really relaxed and welcomed through the whole stay. The village is something special with a kind of character and old world charm that makes this island a treasure. The surrounding areas are breathtaking and I believe the beaches nearby might be some of the best on the island. Maria was so generous sharing her suggestions of places to visit, always responsive and kind. Anna greeted me personally on arrival, gifting me amazing baked goods and some of the smoothest raki I’ve ever tasted. If you have the opportunity to stay here you absolutely should, it is the kind of place that you will always remember fondly. Thank you Anna and Maria! I am so grateful for your grace and hospitality ♥️

What a find this place was. Beautifully restored traditional house in an amazingly beautiful village in the hills above the Pefki Gorge. The house is well provisioned and very tastefully decorated. Great ventilation and insect screens on the windows. We were there for a week and the temps were very hot, but we didn't need to use the AC at all. Wonderful local taverna - we went three times. Don't miss the Sunday night music and traditional dancing. Fanis the owner is very friendly and absolutely hilarious. A great local kafeneio - don't ask for a menu, just ask what's for lunch. Great views to the Libyan Sea - it is just 10 minutes down to Makry Gialo. Search around and you will find quiet beaches without rows of sunbeds if that's not your thing. A great base to explore East Crete, there are awesome mountain roads with cute villages and amazing views. Elina gave us great recommendations for restaurants and was very helpful. We loved this place. Would give it 6 stars if I could.

We felt very comfortable. We spent most of our time on the patio. The apartment is practically furnished - for a simple breakfast and meal you will find everything you need. The hosts were very friendly, even provided a few small things and fruit. They also sent us a nice message with excursion tips. We immediately fell in love with Diaskari Beach - a not so crowded (at least in early June) beach, about 10 minutes away by car with a nice tavern and hammocks on the beach.
