Apartment holiday rentals in Paralia Kourna

Truly a great apartment! Fully matched the listing. It is sparkling clean and everything has been thought of: tea, coffee, washing machine, you name it. It is in a quiet area, but at the bottom of the mountain there is a nice restaurant to enjoy the sunset. We had to mess with the jacuzzi for a while: it went on every hour in the middle of the night, but the host responded very quickly and was able to explain to us how we could solve this. We had a wonderful stay, I would recommend it to everyone.

Absolutely stunning stay! This oceanfront apartment offers unbeatable sunrise and sunset views right from the balcony — truly breathtaking. The space was spotless, modern, and well-equipped with everything we needed. Just a short drive to the city center, yet peaceful and quiet at night. We loved waking up and running along the ocean and sipping wine while watching the sun dip below the horizon. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing, scenic vacation. Five stars! Lakovos was extremely helpful and very responsive, making everything smooth and stress-free. For a truly unforgettable dining experience, we highly recommend heading into the nearby mountain villages of Drakona and Theriso — the food, scenery, and hospitality are next-level.

Comfortable apartment with direct access to the beach and bar/restaurant services. Close to Rethymnon by car (15min), but far from its crowded center and its noise.

Such a great place! Beautifully clean and bright, exactly like the photos. It’s on a street that looks quite busy but the double glazing windows makes it very quiet and peaceful, you wouldnt know you were in the centre of town. The shop below sells everything you need from fresh fruit, milk, olive oil, pasta… a bit of everything really! The local shops and tavernas are fab and the beach is only a few mins walk. I’ll be visiting again soon! Thank you for a great stay

Niki and Cristos were really lovely and friendly hosts. Fresh flowers, homemade biscuits and cake, wine etc were provided and left in the apartment. The apartment was bright and clean. They treated us as family and really made us feel at home. Surrounded by the most amazing mountains. Beautiful people on beautiful Bali. What more could you ask for? Eif charisto! (thank-you) Margerita and Yianni xxxx

Highly recommend! Beautiful modern clean luxury apartment that feels like a home. Private driveway and parking. The apartment and views look even better than the photographs. Great location. Fully stocked home with all the essentials and more. The kitchen has everything you would need and more. Stavros is the perfect host. Everything was as advertised in the listing.

Maryellen communicated really well before and during the stay. The house is a fantastic location but you need a car or taxi to get to local restaurants and into Chania. Maryellen even booked the taxi for us to Chania. The house is fully equipped with everything. The views are amazing over looking the sea. The outside space is great with magical pool. It’s on a hill so probably not suitable for people who find it difficult with stairs and because the pool is an infinity pool you would need to be careful of children in the pool. The house is private and in a quiet location. We will be going back, one of the best Airbnb we have been to.

**Great stay in Rethymno** Stayed here for 11 days and found the apartment clean and fairly well-maintained. Though it's on a main road, the double-paned windows and doors do an excellent job blocking noise. The host was responsive and helpful throughout our stay. The location works well - easy access to the beach and nice sunrise views over the city. Rethymno's position makes it convenient for day trips around Crete, whether heading east, west, or south to the smaller coastal towns. Clean, comfortable, and well-located for exploring the island. Would stay again.

Beautiful and clean place to stay! Great location right next to Rethymo. Would stay here again!

We loved our stay and would definitely stay again! The apartment looks just like the photos and is really well maintained and immaculately clean. Plus they’ve also thought of everything, it’s really well equipped. The location is great, just a couple of minutes walk to all the old town restaurants and bars. Plus the rooftop is a real sun trap in the afternoon, we loved hanging out by the pool.

Highly recommend to anyone coming to the area. The place is exactly as in the pictures and it met our expectations and even more. The location is perfect, the apartment is incredibly clean and everything we asked for, we immediately received a response. The pool with a perfect view. And most importantly - Mina, the owner of the place. She was in daily contact with us to recommend attractions and restaurants and more.. And took care of every detail during our visit. We felt like family. And we will definitely be back in the future..

Very Happy with my Stay. I highly recommend this beautiful location.

Firstly Lena made this stay so comfortable and easy, she went above what she needed to and it was so helpful as we were checking in at 1am. The directions were easy and the old town felt super safe to navigate through Secondly the accommodation, I gasped when I walked in, it was so beautiful. The highest ceilings with exposed brick, beautifully clean with water in the fridge, toast, jam, coffee and tea as well as all the usual amenities. Side note - insanely great double glazing to block the noise out! You couldn’t hear anything disturbing (you can hear a bit but nothing extreme, which is crazy as when you open the doors it’s very noisy) Thank you again Lena. For your accommodation as well as the time you took to provide us with instructions, knowing we were arriving so late at night/early in the morning

My husband and I have only stayed 4 nights at Nikos' Kafenion, but it was a real pleasure. The place is an architectural gem, in an old, charming traditional house, and we were delighted to blend with the local community, even for a few days. We had dinners at a taverna in the village, among locals, kids, cats and dogs, and went for an evening coffee at the coffee place in the vicinity, too. It was our greatest pleasure to enjoy our breakfasts on the terrace, and to spend late evenings there, too. It is a quiet place in a nice village, and that was all that we needed for our vacation. Nikos has a well deserved reputation. He was friendly, helpful, attentive, answered to all our questions, and gave us valuable suggestions, every time. We've rented one of his cars and went to different beaches in the area, and to Kournas Lake. We would love to return to Crete and stay again at Nikos, and we definitely appreciate his hospitality and generosity. Efcharisto poli!

The host was super friendly and polite. Provided in advance a ton of helpful information that was valuable for our trip. The area is a greay village close to the beach of Gerani , Episkopi and Georgioupoli and of course Rethymno, which is less than 10 mins by car. Its an ideal destination for a short or long relaxing trip. The room was super comfy, absolutely clean and modern. Host provided everything needed to make our stay easy. I recommend the place as a cosy, modern, one bedroom place.

Lovely apartment, good location and great view. the ocean waves put us to sleep well. thanks to Simon for the experience.

Chrysa is a very friendly and helpful host. She answered all our questions very fast. The apartment was very clean and just like in the pictures. We felt very comfortable and would love to come back.

Perfect location in Chania, literally in the middle of the action of the old town. Every restaurant on our list was a short walk away. It was very easy to stop back at home to freshen up and go back out at any time. The house itself is meticulously renovated with a luxurious modern feel, yet still preserving the elements of the 500 year old history of the house. Three floors, two bedroom, 2.5 bathrooms. There are four outdoor spaces if you include the ground floor patio which we enjoyed sitting and listening to the music of the bar next door. The hosts are very helpful and their family’s beach club is the nicest one on Paralia Agia Marina. We spent almost a full day there. We rented a car for two of our days to get to the beaches and Nancy showed us where to park for free for extended periods. You can park closer for a fee, and the pedestrian street is open to cars early in the morning so I was able to drive right up to the door to load out. I would definitely stay there again.

Mike was great from the start…we booked last minute and he texted me immediately. He made everything very easy and was extremely friendly when we got there to check in. He showed us everything about the apartment that we needed to know and gave us lots of tips on where to go to eat and to see the best sites. The rooftop space was beautiful and the apartment was very close to everything in the area… We were able to walk to everything! I would definitely recommend staying there… Thank you, Mike!

Great stay, great location, great views. Very close to many bars and restaurants. Not too noisy at night. The only slightly negative aspect was the shower. Basically made the entire floor flooded. Overall, i would recommend the place and would definitely return.

Hidden gem! Loved this home, literally two minute walk to Golden Beach. Katerina is so sweet (she met us in-person, had local restaurant recommendations, and even provided a bottle of wine). The home was perfect for our group of 6 (great value for the money, too). Would 100% come again!

Beautiful place and great host

Andreas was a friendly and responsive host who answered our questions promptly. The flat was well equipped and in an excellent location very close to the old town. We would definitely stay again when next back in Chania!

Great stay with wonderful sunsets and a great beach just a short drive away with nice snorkeling. Would certainly stay here again. Very responsive hosts and the place was very clean and well taken care of. Also was nice to have a little emergency medicine kit, some after sun lotion, and even some food and wine for the first night. Great attention to detail and we all felt right at home. One of the nicest places I have stayed in terms design and function. Great views of the sea and surrounding landscapes.
