Fitness-friendly vacation rentals in Decentralized Administration of the Aegean

Savvas was a wonderful host and his apartment was perfect. It was spotless, even more impressive and spacious than the photos suggest, and in a great location! It’s a short walk to the old town, and in the middle of a thriving residential area, with great restaurants and cafes nearby which aren’t tourist traps. Despite this being right on your doorstep, it’s very quiet- especially at night. Savvas was a very responsive and helpful host. Also, I worked from the apartment for 3 days during our stay, and had no issues whatsoever. The WiFi was super fast. I wouldn’t hesitate staying here again, or recommending it to friends.

Me & my partner were having a bit of a bad stay in a hotel that wasn’t what we expected, we found Greg’s air bnb & within less than an hour of us reaching out to him, he’d picked us up, taken us to the property & checked us in, which we found to be amazing service. We then continued to have a lovely comfortable stay for the next 2 nights. Greg recommended some lovely local spots, we particularly liked the local bakery for breakfast. The place was clean, comfortable, as described & in a more secluded, quiet & less touristic location but still within close walking distance to the old town

A wonderful week at the end of the season. Peaceful, well equipped and great views. Lovely host, felt so welcome. Perfect.

Sweetest and calm place ever !!!

Everything went smoothly. Communication with the host was easy and the check-in process was hassle-free. We also enjoyed the sauna and the closeness to Fira. Would recommend and consider booking again.

There are more surprises in the room than a great ew.ihtiyac. There are more surprises in the room than you can think of. He is a good ew owner. We would definitely like to visit again.

The one-room apartment on the first floor above a good bakery corresponded to the photos. The balcony was larger than expected. The friendly landlord supplied us well with produce from his garden. The price/quality ratio was right.

We felt comfortable and were welcomed by George in a super friendly way and accompanied with travel restaurant tips throughout the vacation, the communication took place very simply, reliably and quickly via WhatsApp, which we found very pleasant. We received excellent restaurant tips from George! Accommodation is very well maintained and clean, a beautiful planted outdoor area, great view of the sea, unfortunately we could not use the pool due to the weather, but it looked very inviting. Due to the steep slope, you can only get by on foot, which is why our rental car was worth its weight in gold... it's worth it anyway, Crete has so much to offer. Good starting point for excursions by car to explore the island.

Fantastic place. Great views from the sun terrace overlooking the bay, so could sit and watch boats and cruise ships on their way to Chania. Only 5 mins walk down a gentle hill to the beach, shops & restaurants. Felt very private, although there were other apartments there, it is laid out so you are not overlooked. Everything was spotlessly clean on arrival and apartment staff were there every day keeping the pool and surrounding areas clean & tidy. Gas BBQ on the terrace was great. Good choice of restaurants along the beach, as well as a few small supermarkets in the centre. 40 mins drive from the airport and well positioned for visiting Chania (which was beautiful) and exploring the area. We had a thoroughly relaxing stay and have already recommended it to friends, and would definitely stay again. Kreta Eiendom's team were very responsive, when we had a small issue during our stay.

Great stylish big apartment for your money in the most convenient area of Rhodes, beautiful furniture, appliances, audio equipment, many balconies, no street noise, you can live without the use of a car, close to Ellie beach, there are all shops, restaurants around! Leon is a very responsive host, gave detailed instructions on how to cope with a broken coffee machine, and she worked! I would like to stay at this apartment again!

We stayed in one of the private villas apart of the hotel. Our villa was stunning and perfectly spacious for the 8 of us. We loved being right on the water in a quieter area right outside of Naousa, but still close enough that we could walk to explore the restaurants and shops. Everyone was so helpful and kind throughout our stay, we will definitely come to stay here again if we ever make our way back to Paros!

Great stay! We would be happy to come back, especially for the awesome location in the center of the pretty city of Rethymnon, for the two large sunny terraces and for the great kindness of the hosts! Even if the kitchen is very small, it's a pleasure to cook there. The place is fully equipped and the dishes provided are beautiful! Internet is fast, but sometimes there are small outages of a few seconds and the signal enters the main room but is weak in the bedrooms.

This is a little gem of a place! A little bohemian and relaxing with beautiful views of both sea & mountain. The pool is fabulous but as the lovely beach is a 5 minute walk you are spoiled for choice. The bathroom was the only slight issue, clean & adequate but very small. I will definitely be coming back.

We all loved Tilos and Zefeiris's place. He and Vlada were very friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed lots of fantastic walks, beach and snorkelling, food and the amazing scenery all around.

The location is excellent for exploring the city on foot while being a little off-center from the disturbances of beachfront bars and restaurants. Welcome and professionalism of the host, you can go there with your eyes closed!

I stayed at George’s place with my mum and sister for 8 nights and we had a lovely time. We were greeted by his mum Casia and she was very welcoming. She was very friendly and helpful. When we requested additional things she immediately provided them. The view from the apartment was amazing and the beach is only 1 minute walk. The kitchen was equipped with everything you’d need as we cooked ourselves most days. The area was very quite and peaceful and we felt very safe. It’s only 15 mins drive to Rhodes old town which was also very convenient. The communication with George was excellent. We had a slight issue with the aircon and he got it repaired very quickly. There are lots of restaurants, small and big supermarkets, gift shops, etc. We enjoyed watching the airplanes landing to the nearby airport and also the cure land train which provides sightseeing tours. We’d definitely come back and recommend George’s place.

A truly exceptional stay at Uppolis House in Syros Uppolis House is an absolute gem. Perched above Ermoupolis, it offers breathtaking views of the town, the sea, and nearby islands like Mykonos, Naxos, and Tinos. The house itself is beautifully designed, impeccably clean, and thoughtfully equipped with every amenity you could imagine — and more. It's clear that great care has gone into every detail. Aggeliki is a wonderful host — kind, responsive, and incredibly accommodating. Our stay exceeded all expectations, and we can't wait to return.

We had a wonderful week. The villa was perfect, just as described, really well designed and with fantastic views. The location is brilliant, Lindos is stunning, and the weather was perfect. We had great times on the beach and in the sea as well as soaking up the history - of which there is of course a lot. Getting up to the acropolis is a must. We love Greek food and everywhere we ate was high quality in lovely settings (every restaurant in Lindos has a rooftop with views of the acropolis). Christina couldn't have been more friendly and more helpful. On the final day we had a late flight home and Christina arranged for us to be looked after at their beautiful boutique hotel in the centre of Rhodes town so that we could explore the city with our bags securely stored. We genuinely couldn't have asked for more. We love seeing new places each year but this is the first time we have ever been tempted to go straight back! Thanks again Christina!

We can highly recommend this accommodation. It's tucked away in a very secluded spot, which makes it wonderfully peaceful. At the same time, you can reach restaurants and a mini market in just a few minutes. A car is essential! The garden is stunning. The biodiversity is incredible. There's always something new to discover. The house is quite small and simply furnished, but that was absolutely fine. Everything was clean, and that's what matters most. The long driveway leading to the house can be a bit intimidating—it just slopes down without any railing or guard. But that’s just part of the Cretan charm. Giannis was always very friendly and helpful—thank you for everything! We also got to know the neighboring family and even visited them. Such kind people. And the animals! Aphroditi the horse, a peacock, chickens, and turkeys—our daughter loved them. Overall a great experience. We were very happy and would definitely recommend it. Who knows—maybe we’ll be back in a few years!

Ideal apartment in very central location. Demitros went above and beyond in helping get us to the ferry on time and then going back to get our passports that we stupidly forgot. He modestly used the term Philoxenia in acceptance of our huge appreciation.

We had a wonderful two weeks at this rental. Sthatis and Alexandra were fantastic hosts, very responsive and accommodating. The house is exactly like the photos (minus the hanging chairs- but they were not missed). It is ade up of two separate apartments each with 2 bedrooms. It is well equipped and gets the most beautiful sunsets, perfect for an evening barbeque . If you wish to explore the island you will definitely need a car but it is wonderfully located between many of the islands attractions and accessible from both airports. The lovely maid (whose name I cannot remember- sorry!) attended twice. We had some unusual weather while we were there, including a sandstorm which coated the entire area in dust, but Stathis and Alexandra had organised the following day to have the outdoor areas cleaned and the pool water serviced so that we could use the facilities, which we were very impressed by. Overall it was a fantastic choice and we would recommend it to anybody considering staying

You have to stay at Stamatis’ apartment! Perfect location 5 minutes from the Main Street, tons of space, patio, comfortable beds, good a/c. Stamatis is the most wonderful Airbnb host. He fully stocked the kitchen with breakfast items, drinks, and snacks. Decor was so cute - loved all the books and feeling like we were locals in Fira. He had amazing recommendations for local activities and restaurants, organized a boat tour for us and invited us to visit one of his family’s art galleries, which is stunning. He met us at the bus stop and picked up our bags until the apartment was ready. He even offered to drive us to the airport at 4am (we didn’t take him up on it)! Parking available on the street or in a lot a few minutes walk away. No view of the caldera at sunset or a pool, but Stamatis organized use of a pool at his friend’s hotel one night, which was amazing. There are steps up to the apt and it is an uphill walk to town, fyi. 100% recommend!

I had the pleasure of staying at Villa Majo with my family for two weeks in August. The villa itself is beautiful and ideally located in Agia Palagia, just 20 minutes from Heraklion and about the same distance from the airport. The property is brand new and impeccably maintained, featuring five comfortable bedrooms. The upstairs rooms offer stunning sea views, making mornings truly special. What truly sets this place apart is the exceptional hospitality. Maria, the owner, is incredibly attentive and goes above and beyond to cater to your every need, acting almost like a personal concierge. Whether it's arranging beach trips, restaurant reservations, or even a manicure, Maria has it covered. And the massage—simply the best I've ever had! Rena, who looks after the villa, prepares and serves delicious breakfasts daily and cooks amazing dinners in their charming wine room, separate from the main house. Her culinary skills are outstanding. I highly recommend villa Majo. Perfect stay !

We had a great time at Rachel's place. The apartment was as described and impeccably clean, comfortable beds, pool and beautiful environment, we will definitely be back. Rachel as well as Sylvia and her husband were very welcoming and available. We thank them.
