Villa Alma in Crete, Sea View 2min from the beach!
nous avons passé une belle semaine dans le logement de Maria. La terrasse couverte est la plus belle pièce de la maison avec une vue magnifique sur la mer. La plage est à moins de 5 min à pied, par contre attention, pour les personnes qui ont des difficultés à marcher, la pente est plutôt raide à remonter. Maria est très réactive et répond très vite aux messages. agia pelagia reste une petite station balnéaire très bien situé pour visiter le Nord de l'île. Belle découverte

Kores boutique houses - Aspasia
Beautiful, clean, and very responsive. The stay was as advertised. This home is well maintained, comfortable , and close to everything.

Tasos Sea View Studio 2
Perfect location, 20m to the beach, many restaurants, friendly people, parking spot bit tricky but never more than 200m. Communication perfect, very proactive. Exactly as the pictures shows.

Lygaries, villa Louisa , by the sea, no car needed
Beautiful place, great for families. Lots of toys and even a potty for the kids! Cleaner came mid week which was not necessary but so great. Beach is a 3 min walk. Really need a car to get there which was fine for us! Thanks for everything.

Brand new ocean wave's villa!
Great place. Great location. Kitchen was a bit small for the size of the space, but very workable. Air conditioning on the first level for the common space didn’t work (we notified the owner but were told we were wrong - we weren’t). But that didn’t really affect our stay. If the weather was hotter I could see it being an issue. But overall, we really enjoyed the rental.

Seaview studio
Had a great time here! Vasilis was very accommodating and the place came as expected. Clean, great views of the water, and centrally located to the shops and restaurants in town. Highly recommend!

City Beach,Seafront Villa by CHANiA LiVING STORiES
Alkis was an amazing host! He went above and beyond with helpful directions and recommendations. Daily check-ins and lots of cleaning via whats app, to ensure we were happy. He even helped navigate the streets by piloting us through some closed roads when we went anywhere, many thanks Alkis.

Apartments with panoramic view

Beachfront home rentals with a pool

Suite Anthos with Shared Pool, Ammokrinos
Excellent experience - 5 stars across the board! If you're looking for a quiet exclusive place to stay, that offers all amenities for a great price - this is it. High quality furnishings, perfectly clean, super friendly and attentive host, amazing location just a few steps from the beach, basically no traffic - all you hear is the ambient sound of the sea, great restaurants close by,... the list goes on. Highly recommend!

Luxury Villa w BBQ, Pool & Steps to the Beach
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful villa! The house is truly luxurious, in perfect condition, and tastefully designed with great attention to detail. The layout of the rooms is simply brilliant — spacious, comfortable, and perfect for relaxing and spending quality time together. The heated pool was one of our favorite features — always at the perfect temperature to cool down and unwind at any time of the day. The location couldn’t be better: just a few minutes’ walk to the beach, where you’ll find plenty of great restaurants, cafes, and shops. A very special thank you to our amazing hosts! They were incredibly warm, welcoming, and always just a message away. Every little question or request was answered within minutes — we felt truly taken care of from the very first moment. We can highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a perfect holiday on Crete. We would love to come back anytime! Thank you so much, Eleni&Georgios!

Your Private Retreat by the beach,with Heated Pool
We had a fantastic stay at this villa in Crete! The location was absolutely perfect—centrally positioned on the island, it made exploring both the east and west sides, as well as all the nearby towns, super convenient. The house itself had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and the hosts went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and supported throughout our visit. The grounds were impeccably maintained and much larger than the photos portray. One of the highlights was the charming taverna right next door, and there were plenty of other great restaurants less than 10 minutes away by car. The warm hospitality from everyone we met made it feel like a true home away from home. We can’t wait to return one day and would wholeheartedly recommend this villa to anyone planning a trip to Crete.

Canvas Villas by the sea
We hebben bijzonder genoten van de locatie en de villa. alle voorzieningen waren zoals beschreven en nieuw. Uitzicht was adembenemend en de villa bood voldoende privacy en rust ondanks dat er drie zelfde villa's naast elkaar staan. Strandje, restaurants en supermarkt waren op loopafstand. Dus we hadden geen huurauto nodig. Plaatsje Agia Pelagia was ook op loopafstand. Is nog redelijk traditioneel Grieks vissersdorp maar wel redelijke toeristisch. Al met al een geweldig verblijf gehad waarbij de host, weliswaar op afstand en zonder persoonlijk contact, steeds online actief was, snel reageerde en proactief informatie verschafte.

Waterfront Komos Beach Crete
What a wonderful place! If you are stressed by work, in need of something peaceful, extremely beautiful and in harmony with the nature, this is the right place for you. Don't miss the opportunity to stay here, meeting the cute cats ( please feed them :), enjoy the surrondings and if you like to swim, the beach just 10 minutes walking distance is perfect for you. I swam 5 kilometers and enjoyed after that the beautiful bar and restaurant close to the house. RECOMMENDED!

Villas Erato, Three Muses Villas
We loved staying here for a week in August 2024. Great welcome, beautiful place, lots of places to chill out, lovely relaxed beachfront with lovely restaurants and mini market within easy walking distance. Very well equipped kitchen with everything we needed. Thankyou!

Casa Calma 1. Beachfront luxury appartment!
Wir hatten einen wundervollen Aufenthalt in der Casa Calma. Antonis war ein äußerst aufmerksamer und herzlicher Gastgeber. Schon bei unserer Ankunft hat er uns persönlich begrüßt – mit köstlichem Essen und erfrischenden Getränken. Besonders gefreut haben wir uns auch über das liebevoll ausgesuchte Abschiedsgeschenk. Die Unterkunft selbst ist modern, stilvoll eingerichtet und bestens ausgestattet – es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Der private Pool war ein echtes Highlight und hat den Aufenthalt besonders gemacht. Die Lage ist ideal. Der Ort lässt sich bequem zu Fuß erkunden. In unmittelbarer Nähe befinden sich Supermärkte, eine Bäckerei und viele gute Restaurants. Auch der Strand ist schnell erreichbar – das flache Wasser eignet sich perfekt für Kinder. Wir haben unseren Urlaub in vollen Zügen genossen und kommen sehr gerne wieder!

The house on the cove - Myrtus Suite
A truly breathtaking and secluded place. The house is beautifully decorated, with carefully chosen furniture and plenty of natural light and well-placed lighting in the evenings. Every morning, we were treated to a lovely homemade breakfast from Emanuela, along with Italian coffee 👌🏼 A perfect start to the day. Emanuela is an amazing host and a wonderful person. Our baby, Ellie, was immediately comfortable with her. Communication with Gianni was smooth and he replies quickly. You don’t need a 4x4 to reach this haven. The view is indescribable, absolutely breathtaking. My husband especially loved it as a tranquil, inspiring place to write. Thank you to Emanuela and Giani for a wonderful stay we’ll always remember. Highly recommended! Just book it, don’t think twice! ;-)
Private beachfront home rentals

Diamond Dream 4 -Jacuzzi-View-BBQ-Recreation
Nobles Appartement mit viel Platz. Innerhalb einer Neubaugegend mit Meerblick in zweiter Reihe. Villen drumherum werden noch fertiggestellt, sehen aber auch unfertig chic aus wegen des Natursteins. Gute Betten! Ruhige Gegend. Alles vorhanden zum Selbstversorgen: Küche groß und perfekt. Elisabeth kümmert sich hervorragend um das Anwesen und die Gäste. Restaurants und Ort fußläufig. Gerne wieder!

Villa Repsimia with Private Jacuzzi
Very nice Villa and very friendly host. Her father is also living there and takes care of the garden. You can park there easily. The equipment and stuff that is available is as promised in the description. Location is actually not right next to the beach, but 10-15mins by foot, but by car it’s only 2mins. The beach there is amazing. The water is quite flat for a while, which is nice for playing in the water and probably for kids. Also the restaurants (especially Seven) there are really good and have a good price.

Μικρό εξοχικό με υπέροχη θέα στη θάλασσα
I loved the tiny house, every millimetre, it’s across the road from the shepherds caravan and you are lightly woken by him calling the goats in the morning. Wonderful. The cliffs are covered with wild thyme and the scent mingles with the sea breeze bringing another sensory tweak to the exceptional surroundings. From the moment you cross the mountain peak you are greeted with a never to forget 180 degree view of the deep blue Libyen Sea, that literally is on your terrace of the property. There are two empty beaches at the foot of the cliffs, but two cafes and a slightly busier beach in the village if you prefer. It’s an unspoiled paradise, on Sunday you can hear the monks song and the bells echoing up from the village. We only spent three nights in Tris Eklieses, but it will remain with me forever as a really unique experience. Outside of peak season the village supermarket is closed the nearest one is about 1/2 an hours drive away, I envy the owners, it’s a very special place. THX4ALL.

Home away from home/Chris&C Apartments
Super sauberes und gemütliches Apartment. Wir haben uns von Anfang bis Ende sehr wohl gefühlt. Unser Gastgeber Panagiotis war stets freundlich und zuverlässig. Supermärkte, unterschiedliche Restaurants und der Strand waren in nur wenigen Gehminuten erreichbar und um die Unterkunft herum hat man immer einen (kostenlosen) Parkplatz gefunden. Klare Empfehlung für alle, die das wunderschöne Agia Galini bereisen wollen 👍🏻

Ocean Blue 2, Seaside Suite
Un véritable petit coin de paradis ! Nous avons passé un séjour inoubliable dans ce logement idéalement situé, littéralement les pieds dans l’eau. Le cadre est exceptionnel, avec une vue imprenable sur la mer depuis la terrasse — un rêve éveillé dès le réveil. Le logement est parfaitement équipé, très propre, décoré avec goût et extrêmement confortable. L’hôte a été chaleureux, réactif et attentionné tout au long de notre séjour. Chaque détail est pensé pour que l’on se sente comme chez soi, mais en mieux ! Entre les baignades au lever du soleil, les apéros face au coucher du soleil, et la sérénité du lieu, c’était tout simplement magique. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter. Merci encore pour cette parenthèse enchantée ! 😁

Valentino Apartments (apartment 3)
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

Livikos House, Lentas
Traumhaft! Ideal für alle, die die Seele auftanken wollen. Eine unglaubliche Lage, ein unvergleichlicher Ausblick. Eine ausgesucht schöne & persönliche Einrichtung. Wir haben uns sofort willkommen gefühlt. 7 wunderbare Tage. Danke und gerne wieder :)

Studio Thea 3
Sehr schönes Studio mit Blick auf das Meer und die Berge. Es gibt im selben Haus gleich nebenan noch ein Studio zu mieten und unten eine Wohnung. Die Vermieterin ist sehr nett und hat dafür gesorgt, dass es uns an nichts fehlte. Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber und man kann zu Fuss an den Strand, oder zu den Tavernen im Dorf. Allerdings ist ein Auto von Vorteil (Parkmöglichkeit gleich vor dem Haus).
