Luxury Apartment in Heraklion

GailRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Very spacious, modern apt with a beautiful balcony. The street noise below made it difficult to sit out and talk there, but the view of the ocean was very nice. Well appointed kitchen. Very clean and neat. Mihalis gave us a great recommendation for dinner nearby that was lovely. We had a nice stay here

7Olives suite no3. Arched balcony SEAview. Thyme

CarlaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
The apartment is compact but fine. It is slightly against the hill, which is good for walking (but rising). The view over the bay never gets boring, it's so beautiful! In the village, there are plenty of supermarkets and restaurants, plenty to choose from. A large part of the beach is a slowly sloping sandy beach. Really nice! Furthermore, a great base to explore the area.

View of the port

CliffRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Located right in the heart of old town Chania, can easily people watch and take in the sights and sounds of old town without having to leave your place. Perfect sunset views. Note: best place to reliably park for free overnight is “Chania town car park”, about a 10 min walk. May be easier in the off season; and harder in the peak. Overall the location can’t be beat.

Lodge with 3 BR, 2-minute walk to the beach!

CharmRating, 5 stars9 months ago
We had a an amazing time of a family of four. I would only suggest making a book for guest with instructions on the T.V., A/C, Hot Water, and WiFi password. It would make it much easier for the guest so they do not bother the Host. Also a book so guest can write how their stay was and where they are traveling from. Overall we loved how close we were to everything and the beach is stunning. Lena was a super host:)

Dejablu (Heraklion)

JuanitaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Great! Go for it! The accommodation: Wow! Clean, cozy, comfort. A beautiful terrace with a private jacuzzi that we enjoyed a lot and a breathtaking view of the small port. A kitchen with all the amenities you need (fridge, dishes, cutlery, etc.). 2 beautiful bathrooms with all the amenities you need (towels, products, etc.). Comfortable rooms. A living room with Netflix, for those who want to relax a little in the evening. The welcome: Wow! Harry was waiting for us with a smile, despite our delay (plane, car rental, the vagaries of travel🤣). On site a lot of things to start our vacation well: fruit, cold cuts, bread, water, coke and enough for lunch (jams, honey, coffee...) The big +: Thanks to Harry for his good advice (places to visit, restaurants, taverns, beaches...) and her constant availability and speed to respond during our stay. The place: Very nice port, a little noisy and lively in the evening. Good starting point for traveling.

Kalamaki-Sunset | Stunning SeaView & Modern Design

KimRating, 5 stars2 days ago
We spent 8 days at Fani's place. The apartment is very modernly furnished and clean. It has everything you need for a self-catering vacation. We could do laundry, had all kinds of kitchen utensils and a great terrace where you could enjoy the view of the sea. The place itself offers everything you need. There are many restaurants and bars, a small supermarket, ATM and much more. The loungers + parasol on the beach cost a total of €10 per day, if someone comes to settle the bill. We had a rental car to explore the area. Crete is huge and it takes time to get to certain places. For the start, Fanis left us water, fresh fruit and small snacks. It was a great stay. Thank you. ☺️

Easy to explore the old city. Located on the quieter side of the Venetian port. Services nearby. Too soft a bed in my opinion, but it's just a matter of sleeping.

Orpheus House beachfront 2bdr panoramic view

LaurieRating, 5 stars5 days ago
This is absolutely our favorite Airbnb that we've ever stayed in (and we've stayed in a lot). The place is adorable. Katerina is very responsive and lives right by the apartment. The view is wonderful, and both the living room and twin bedroom have doors that open onto that view. It has everything you need and more, with Katerina providing treats and even cereal and milk for that first morning. The air conditioning worked well, but there is also a lovely breeze from the sea. There are tons of restaurants and cafes just below the apartment as well as with 5 and 10 minutes walk in Old Town. It would be comfortable for a couple and a third person (such as a child) or two people, each with their own room. The washing machine was great to have, and you can dry clothes on the lines off the balcony. We did not want to leave.

EYGE transformed modern apartment by the sea-new!

RitaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had a great time at Fotis and Amalia’s place. Definitely one of the cleanest places we’ve stayed! The location was perfect as we like to stay just outside of the hustle and bustle but close enough so we can dip in and out with ease. There’s plenty of bakeries, restaurants and supermarkets around. The views are just outstanding and we ended up getting food a few times to eat at home as we enjoyed to look at the sea from the house. It was also easy to cook, there’s plenty of utensils if you wish to prep a meal in. The bed was really comfortable, as I’m 7 months pregnant asked if we could have a couple of extra pillows and this was ready for our arrival. We were pleasantly surprised with the amount of groceries we had available at the house too! Fresh fruit (we loved making our own fresh orange juice in the morning!), bread, butter and many other snacks! Fotis was also great at recommending places to visit like beaches, restaurants and museums. We 100% recommend this place!

Sunset panoramic Sea View Studio

HeikeRating, 5 stars8 months ago
We stayed at Nikos's place from 10/6-10/12. The sea view was great. In the evening we heard the sea rushing. 2 minutes to the beach. The water was clear and pleasant 25°. There were not many people on the beach, a pleasant atmosphere. The island offers many attractions, the old town of Rethymno is worth a trip alone. The prices are ok. The Greeks are nice and hospitable. Nikos was on hand when we had an issue. Very friendly and helpful. We recommend this place👍. Regine and Heike from Germany🙋🙋.

Zen Townhouse - Infinity Seaview

Marianna’s place was great - we had a very pleasant time there. The view over the Mediterranean Sea is stunning, and the location is easy to access. Her mum, Sonia, kindly made us a local pie upon arrival, and she was so friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. There are several excellent restaurants nearby, and it’s only about 20 minutes to the Heraklion city centre. Highly recommended!
