Two years ago, while vacationing alone in the area, I went to see this house and knew that our next vacation in Crete, this time with the family, would be spent here. It's the perfect retreat for four people. The property is large, with the house positioned to shield from the often strong northwestern winds. It has a great jacuzzi, a sufficient pool, a large grill, and a dining area, all complemented by a friendly and accommodating host. The house itself is located on the top of a hill, offering an incredible view of the surroundings. It's important to note that having a car greatly facilitates daily activities, as the distance to shops or the nearest restaurants varies (it's a 20-minute walk to the nearest beach and about 45-60 minutes to town, but only 3 to 6 minutes by car). The beds are comfortable, the rooms are spacious enough, and the house is equipped with everything you might need—and more. For example, there is a first aid kit and a sewing kit available. Upon arrival, the host provided us with his delicious olive oil (which we used up entirely, it was so tasty) and some basic food and fruits, including figs from his garden.

Just 300 metres from Kouremenos beach, Castri Village Hotel features an outdoor swimming pool and pool bar. Its spacious accommodation offers a balcony with panoramic views of Kouremenos Bay.

Very kind staff, awesome breakfast with some almond homemade cake! Rooms are simple but clean and tidy, 10 minutes away from the archeological site and the beach. Zakro is off limits for the tourist buses.. a good place to spend a couple of days! Excellent quality/ price. Thanks a lot!

Even before we arrived, our stay at Oceanides Luxury Apartments felt special. Nektarios was so thoughtful and attentive in his communication, which immediately put us at ease. When we arrived, he welcomed us with a fresh Greek salad, a simple but meaningful gesture that made us feel truly cared for. Nektarios is an incredible host. He has a genuine warmth that makes you feel more like a friend than a guest, and his tips on where to eat and what to explore in Crete were invaluable. The apartments themselves are beautiful and spotless, with every detail thoughtfully considered, and the grounds are perfectly maintained, creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Everything about the place shows care and attention, but it’s the hospitality from Nektarios that truly makes this stay unforgettable. I’ve travelled a lot, and this has to be one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Oceanides Luxury Apartmenrts isn’t just a place to stay it’s an experience you carry with you. 10/10, and I can’t recommend it enough.

Set in Sitia and only 1.2 km from Sitia Beach, Sitia Bay View Villa Apartment offers accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking.

The property we stayed is done in traditional style with love and attention to detail. There is ample parking space, each house comes fully equipped, and a second-floor balcony provides an excellent space for reading, relaxing, or just star gazing. Very friendly, generous and attentive hostess, offering a welcome of raki and plenty of advice about the area. The place itself has some of the best beaches in the island, excellent sea front restaurants, and offers a glimpse into a still unspoiled , slow paced Crete far from the ravages of mass tourism. At the same time, places of archeological interest (e.g. Zakros), prime surfing spots and the exotic palm beaches of Vai and Itanos are all within reasonable reach.

With inner courtyard views, Alkioni Sea View Apartment is set in Káto Zákros and has a restaurant and a 24-hour front desk.

I booked last minute as I was on the road & decided to stop. It's a nice apartment, large with everything you need. It's up on the old road to Zakros so great views. Nikos, Manoli & Giorgos from the Taverna at kato Zakros are helpful & super friendly, you collect the key from there.. Zakros minoan palace ruin is just down the road & walking to the gorge is easy. Great food there right on the beach, peaceful, traditional & good for the soul. I will return 😀..efharisto

Great sea view and going to sleep with the sound of waves in your ears. Excellent location for hikers and those that just need a retreat from the business of life! You do need a car to get there though and remember aqua shoes😀
