House vacation rentals in Decentralized Administration of Crete

We had a lovely week in Crete. The accommodation was beautifully presented with great amenities. The perfect balance of the privacy of your own villa with the benefits of a small resort. Poppy and Alexandros were extremely helpful and accommodating - thank you for a lovely stay.

Breathtaking views! Do you want a clean and beautiful place to stay? Then you've come to the right place! 🤩 The accommodation is modern, clean and well equipped. The outdoor area is just perfect, great seating, mega pool also for kids and with the spa whirlpool just a paradise! Not to forget this beautiful view of the sunset 🤩 Not only is the accommodation perfect, but the hosts, Maria and Savas, are also great hosts! Friendly and courteous, and always available! They brought toys for my son and despite the fierce challenge with the Sahara dust, they did everything to make sure we can enjoy our vacation 100% 😊 We are already looking forward to our next visit to Crete and to Maria 🥰 Thank you for everything!

This house is absolutely stunning! It is even more impressive in person than in the photos. The view took our breath away every morning ! The house is about 10 minutes from Kissamos which is the small town where we bought food to cook at home. I do advise renting a car to get to the surrounding towns and beaches. The host, Ria, was incredibly communicative prior to our arrival and just as accommodating once we got there. Our flight was delayed and we didn’t arrive until almost midnight. She was so kind to provide us with food and coffee for breakfast as well as some olive oil made from her family’s business. Ria was so welcoming and helpful! We felt very safe and at peace in the house (we visited with our 3 children who are 7, 10, and 11). This was by far our favorite vacation and we look forward to returning! We highly recommend! 🙌🏻

Simply stunning apartment, glorious views and easy access to the little village of Kalyves. We spent most days by the pool and evenings eating at the many restaurants by the beach. The apartment is beautiful and well equipped, the views from the living room are stunning. Eleni is an attentive and very responsive host who looked after us extremely well. We will be back very soon!

Villa anasa exceeded expectations. The pictures don't do it justice, the attention to detail in the interior is impressive. We had a lovely stay and would highly recommend. Gorgios was a gracious host and helpful in every way possible.

Our family of eight stayed at Villa Athena for 10 days in late May and it was wonderful. From the beginning to the end communication with Aggeliki, and with Jerry, was excellent. Checkin couldn’t be easier as Jerry meet us and walked us through the Villa. The Villa was very comfortable for our group of 8. The bedrooms were well appointed and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped which was perfect as we made a number of large dinners for the group with no problem. The outdoor space was spectacular, with lots of lounge, a very functional kitchen/bbq area, and an unbelievable view. While on Crete there was a very muddy rain one afternoon which made a real mess of everything outdoors. Jerry was over the next day power washed everything and cleaned the pool. Backed to normal within 24 hours. Thanks Jerry. Villa flow is a beautiful property that can easily handle a larger group, and which I would highly recommend choosing for your stay on Crete.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A dream vacation with friends – DejaView in Crete is a real gem! We were able to spend some unforgettable days in the vacation home DejaView – and it was just fantastic! The house itself is modern, stylish and equipped with everything you could wish for. The spacious pool and the breathtaking view over the Cretan landscape to the sea inspired us every day. But what really makes this place special is the host. From the first moment, he was incredibly warm, helpful and attentive – after a very short time, it felt like we had found a friend on site. Whether tips for excursions, restaurant recommendations or just a nice conversation – he was always there for us and made our stay something very special. DejaView is the perfect place to unwind, enjoy and feel good. We will definitely be back.

This very clean and ultra-modern vacation home exceeded all our expectations! Such a warm personal welcome by the owners. A well-stocked refrigerator upon arrival, as well as fruit, coffee and refreshments. Beautiful large private pool. Fantastic luxurious enjoyment in all comfort with comfortable loungers and bathrobes/slippers. It was perfect for us, definitely recommend it and will undoubtedly come back soon!

A short walk from downtown Kalyves, but far removed from the hustle and bustle of the town of Kalyves. Several good places to eat, with some services such as medical and a pharmacy, a couple small markets with enough provisions. The location had absolutely amazing views of the bay of Souda, very private and quiet. The property is secured by an electric gate, to keep wandering tourists away, in that this accommodation appears historical in nature, maybe all that’s left of an old kastelli, based on the rock walls. I could be wrong, but I would guess that the actual accommodation is what used to be the powder magazine for the old fort. We enjoyed the place immensely.

This was the best AirBnb I've ever stayed at, and it really made our trip to Crete. Maria was an A+ host. She was extremely responsive and helpful and pointed us to all of the best beaches and restaurants. The house is in immaculate condition, very clean, and very spacious, and is only 10 minutes from downtown Chania. Thank you for everything, Maria!

Fantastic old traditional house, well preserved and carefully modernized. Kind hosts eager to assist and give recommendations of nice nearby places to visit. Amazing view of the valley.

This is the kind of place you'll never forget. Wow wow wow! The view is really great; in the green, between the rocks overlooking the sea. There is no one around and you really have a cottage to yourself and that on a very beautiful piece of Crete. It is smart to do groceries on the way (in the kitchen you will find everything to cook and there is a barbecue), because a large supermarket is almost half an hour's drive and the tavern in the village is great for the day, but in the evening you do not want to take that dark route on loose stones (that road is anyway getting used to, but to do). Do you feel like checking out for a few days? Then this is really the place. We will definitely come back!

We had a wonderful and relaxing vacation in Dimitri's apartment. The apartment is fantastically beautiful and tastefully decorated, with high-quality furniture and nothing is really missing. The terrace has a unique beautiful view of the sea and we spent many beautiful hours there. Dimitris is super friendly, always available and with helpful tips for excursions, restaurants, etc. he helped us a lot. He also arranged the transfer from the airport for us and it worked out just fine. The location of the apartment is also perfect. Supermarket and restaurants are within walking distance and the bus station is just across the street. We highly recommend the apartment, for us the most beautiful so far and we will be happy to think back to the time and come back soon.

Absolutely beautiful place, we loved it! The outdoor areas and views are amazing! Lefteris was extremely kind and helpful, shared a lot of great recommendations with us! We’d come back in a heartbeat

We enjoyed our entire stay! From the minute we got there, until we left Joanna was easily reachable and the property is fantastic. We hope to be back again!

The place was exactly as described. Very friendly landlady. Requests were met. An earlier check-in was possible without any problems. Messages were answered quickly and kindly

We had a wonderful stay at Evangelo’s place. Check in was smooth and we were met with some groceries which was helpful. Always replied quickly and with helpful information. The views were incredible and very peaceful. Due to its remote location, you need a car but it was perfect for a quiet getaway. Some special memories here :) thanks!

Never had such a nice and dedicated hosts! The house was perfect, we had a great time!

We really enjoyed staying at the Epicurean. It is very close in the car to Agios Nikolaos and has a small wonderful beach 5 minutes away.

This place is fantastic. Two outdoor seating areas both with breathtaking views facing west so you can watch the sunset. We were there in December during Christmas and they had a nice wood burning stove to help warm the house in addition to an electric heater. There is nothing like the ambiance of a wood burning stove . They provided all of the firewood. They also had a fully stocked kitchen . It was an easy walk to town with all the restaurants. Almost all of which were closed when we went. The beaches are a walkable distance. One of the highlights was the Aradena gorge, a 30 minute drive. The trailhead is in a beautiful ancient town. The hike is technically challenging due to loose rocks. Honestly, one of my favorite things was the area. Off season, it is incredibly quiet and peaceful. I loved seeing all the goats and sheep on the hillsides. One thing to note is the bedroom is on the third floor and the bathroom is on the first floor. This was not an issue for us.

It's a dream come true! This place was just perfect – from the amenities to the loving furnishings to the warm hospitality of Ksenia and Giannis. Everything is high-quality, tasteful and designed with so much attention to detail that you feel comfortable and welcome from the first moment. A real highlight was the terrace with a breathtaking view of the sea – waking up in the morning with the sound of the waves, ending the day in the evening with this panorama... priceless! Particularly beautiful was the proximity to the cozy tavern, which is run by the host family. There is the same warm, open atmosphere as in the accommodation. We spent wonderful evenings there with delicious traditional, regional Greek cuisine, live music and a lot of cordiality. A place we think back to with a smile – and a place we definitely want to come back to. A thousand thanks for everything!

Elpida, a dream house, definitely recommended. Not only the location and the view are sensational, but also the house itself. We (married couple 63/61) were allowed to enjoy Angelika's unobtrusive and warm hospitality in May 2025 and had a relaxing week in or above the beautiful village of Mochlos. We have nothing to complain about, on the contrary - we have rarely found such a great place to stay. Perfect furnishings and very well-equipped kitchen, always a shady spot and very pleasant insect protection. The steep driveway up the mountain is also no problem after the first exercise. The scent of the plants is simply wonderful. Dear Angelika, thank you for sharing Elpida with strangers, we will be happy to come back to you and Koko and are already looking forward to it, best regards, Anne Dietz and Stefan Schmädeke from Hanover

We had a wonderful stay in Aptera. The location was perfect; close to Chania and an easy drive to other locations in western Crete but still rural, quiet, and private. There's an incredible view of the mountains right out of the front door. Mihalis was really friendly and gave us many local recommendations. We highly recommend a stay here!

May 2025, 10 nights stay for three (2 adults, 1 toddler). Villa is really fantastic. Beautiful views of the sea and the bay. It offers a lot of space for more people (2 couples, 4-6 friends, 2 families) and for longer stays (storage space, cabinets and shelves, etc.). The equipment corresponds to the description and offers, even in the kitchen, everything you can need. Our highlight was the covered terrace. Our flight was moved up at short notice. A significantly earlier check-in was not a problem at all in our case. Stelios is a very friendly, helpful and dedicated host. We recommend him and his villa without restriction. Small limitation: the accommodation is a bit off the beaten track or the region is a bit scattered (mainly due to the geography of the area). Without your own car, it will be a little difficult in our opinion. However, there is a free parking space right by the house.
