This was a perfect place for us. The place was clean and the staff were absolutely amazing! The place is a few minute walk to the old town which was perfect. It is also few minutes walk to the main bus station. The place exceeded our expectations. The staff went above and beyond to provide excellent service. Breakfast was great. We highly recommend this hotel and we would come back to it.

Definitely one of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed at! The 2nd floor rooms with the private pool are beautiful and very well maintained. Staff was very nice and the breakfast served each morning in the room was excellent. The hotel is a short drive to several very nice beaches. The hotel was expensive but worth it!

Crete highlights

Chania Old Town and Harbour

Along with its Venetian Harbour and colourful market, the winding alleyways of Chania let you wander through architectural history.

Phaestos

Phaestos was a major centre of the Minoan Civilisation and is where the famous Phaestos Disc was discovered.

Elafonnisi Beach

Endless beaches with unique pink sand, and out in the crystal-clear waters is the islet of Elafonissi.

Samaria Gorge

Extending from the village of Omalos right down to the Mediterranean, this gorge is renowned for wildlife and hiking.

Preveli Beach

A breathtaking sight, at Preveli Beach you can experience natural spa pools.

Falassarna Beach

Falassarna's kilometre of fine sand and turquoise waters is just waiting to be enjoyed.

Spinalonga Island

The Venetian fortress of Spinalonga Island was used as a leper colony during the first half of the 20th century.

Arkadi Monastery

The 16th century Arkadi Monastery is a stunning piece of Renaissance architecture and symbol of resistance against the Ottomans.

Rethymno Venetian Harbour and Fortress

Walking around the narrow streets, from the Venetian Harbour to the well-preserved Fortezza Castle, definitely makes Rethymno worth a visit.

Knossos Palace

Knossos was the ancient centre of the Minoan Civilisation. Come and visit its colourful frescoes and maze of buildings.

FAQs about hotels on Crete

Centuries of History, Days of Sunshine

The largest Greek island, mountainous Crete has stunning beaches, plenty of history and as much or little nightlife as you want. Party town Malia has many bars, clubs and restaurants on its Strip.

Along the coast is the capital Heraklion, a bustling city home to many Crete hotels on the beach, and a Venetian castle guarding its port. Its archaeological museum includes finds from the island’s Minoan era, while just inland are the Roman remains of Knossos.

Also boasting a Venetian castle is Rethymnon, a popular resort with a good number of Crete hotels with private pools on Booking.com. Loggerhead turtles nest in season on the sandy beaches here and at Chania, an important port with an attractive waterfront set against the backdrop of mountains.

On the other side of the island is Aghios Nikolaos, a small fishing town with a picturesque harbour. Just north is Elounda, a popular family resort, and offshore is Spinaloga island, inspiration behind the book ‘The Island’. Matala in the south has a bohemian vibe and intriguing cliff dwellings, while Paleokastro in the east borders Europe’s largest palm forest at Vai.

We could go on and on about magnificent Crete beaches, but whichever resort you choose, you can be almost guaranteed fantastic food and a good helping of sunshine.

Difficult to judge because we came early in the season when there was a cold wind blowing and not all the places were open. However, there didn't seem to be many places to eat [not a problem for us as there was one excellent place, though would be a problem peak season] . There were a number of apparently abandoned and ill-maintained buildings, which made the place appear less attractive.

Malia is a great place for food, beaches and a good location to explore some of the surrounding areas. The old town provides amazing Cretan restaurants, pretty much all good, and some, like the Avli, Getonia, Sokaki, and Brassierie are excellent. Book a table if there in the busy season. There are local palace ruins which are well worth a visit and easy to get to on the happy train, which is also an experience on its own and does various trips up to the hills as well around town and locally. If there for while definitely book some trips out on a boat, as the sea is just deliciously clean and refreshing, and if feeling adventurous take a boat to Spinalonga and have a wander among the old leper colony. If you can get up in the hills, a visit to Lasithi Plato and make sure you stop off at the restaurant Taksiarhos - where all the food is home made by Joanna, the wife of Taksiarhos who owns this place - it is a complete treat to meet both of them as have a truly authentic Cretan meal and experience. And once the cave is back open (hopefully in 2026) visit Zeus' birth place just a little further up the hill. But of course, the weather is just fab here so do enjoy the sun be it on a beach or by a pool!

lovely holiday spot, plenty of shops and restaurants, everyone extremely friendly and helpful. About an hour from airport, went to spinalonga and did a few walks, also did the 4 hour train ride which was lovely to see mountains, bit of history etc, wasnt too hot. Both of the bays were good and safe for swimming - one of them a bit pebbly getting in, the other was fine. Supermarkets well stocked. Elounda is flat so easy for walking although pavements a little bumpy. All very accessible and walkable

The town is just the right size — not too big.

The town is just the right size — not too big. Its rural and local character really comes through; we even watched goat herders at work just nearby. There’s a good variety of restaurants and several shops. For those with limited mobility, there’s a convenient flat sidewalk running along the beach. If you’re willing to drive a short distance, there are plenty of stunning beaches to choose from depending on the wind direction. It’s an excellent location for beach life and all kinds of water activities. At Paralia Souda, there was also an aid for wheelchair users to get into the water — provided they’re able to transfer into the seat. There’s also lots to do nearby — one tip is to hike up to Saint Paisios Church or visit the nearby mountain villages with their amazing views towards Plakias (see the photo).
