Rental unit in Chania
4.99 out of 5 average rating, 107 reviewsDorothy's Dream, amazing view, history and luxury
What a lovely and special place. From our extraordinarily warm welcome (to include assistance with parking and getting our bags upstairs), to the beautiful, homey, and comfortable furnishings and decor, to the amazing location with rooftop terrace, we could not imagine a more perfect place to spend our time in Chania. Zoe provided us an amazing welcome and was available for any of our needs (including following up with us when one of our party left charging cables behind). We were delighted to have the opportunity to stay here and would recommend it to anyone (who is able to go up stairs).

Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön und das Meer direkt vor der Terrasse. Während unseres Aufenthalts waren wir in der Einflugschneise des Flughafens, was uns aber nicht weiter gestört hat. Unsere Hosts waren sehr hilfreich und haben meiner Oma auch ein Taxi zum Flughafen bestellt. Vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt!

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 102 reviewsKlea Apartment
Manolis'es place is one of the best (and I've been to many). The house is very spacious and accommodated our family of 5 very comfortably. Manolis met us personally to make sure we found the parking spot (which is easy to access, but a bit hidden). He is extremely friendly and welcoming, and went above and beyond to make sure we felt right at home. Little things, like snacks after the long drive, beach towels, etc. Checkout was a breeze as well. The private parking is a blessing - Chania can be very crowded. Manolis also made sure we did not plan to take our car to Samaria :-) - it remained parked that day. (BTW- the KTEL main bus station is precisely 1km, 13 minutes walk from the house). The house is extremely well situated - right on the port with its restaurants and bars, and within a 3-minute walk from the bustling tourist area. A grocery store is within a 2-minute walk. If you like running, there is a 2km stretch on the bank right outside the door. Very highly recommended.

We had a really great stay here, the place was spacious, clean, and right in the beach. Stratos was a friendly and responsive host. I would highly recommend staying here!
Rental unit in Almirida
4.82 out of 5 average rating, 142 reviews7Olives suite no3. Arched balcony SEAview. Thyme
One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed. The photos really don’t do it justice - the view from the terrace is just stunning. Being able to lie in a hammock each morning with a coffee, or a glass of wine during the beautiful sunset, it really doesn’t get any better. The apartment is ideally located between two different towns, Plaka 10 mins walk up the hill with some lovely restaurants (Check out the Sunset restaurant, home made food, wonderful staff and amazing views), and Almyrida 5 mins walk down the hill, with a fantastic beach and restaurant options. It couldn’t be better. Jurga was so friendly and helpful, we felt right at home. It was just a perfect stay! Thank you so much!

Der Aufenthalt bei Rena für einige Tage war für mich genau das Richtige. Die Unterkunft ist sehr gut ausgestattet, sauber und man fühlt sich schnell wie zu Hause. Tris Ekklisies ist sehr schön gelegen und die Fahrt dorthin wirklich einmalig. Ich habe an diesem Ort sehr gut entspannen können und habe die Ruhe genossen. Vielen Dank, Rena für den lieben Empfang und dass ich Gast bei Dir sein durfte.

My friend and I loved this charming apartment right on the water. They thought of every little detail to leave for if you needed something. Theo was very friendly and warm and welcoming from the beginning. This apartment is in walking distance to everything and was the perfect place to start our trip. I would recommend for everyone to stay here.

Manos nous a chaleureusement accueillis avec quelques cadeaux de bienvenue dans son superbe appartement idéalement situé en bord de mer (très joli balcon donnant sur les rocher et petite plage de sable à 2 minutes de marche). Tout était parfait et nous aimerions revenir lors d'un prochain séjour en Crète. C'est une perle de Airbnb, vraiment.

Wir haben uns in diesem Haus acht Tage lang sehr wohl gefühlt, auf der gut verschatteten Terrasse eine erholsame Zeit bis tief in die Nacht hinein verbracht. Ioanna hat uns mit verschiedenen Köstlichkeiten überrascht, liebevoll und immer erreichbar. Gerne kommen wir wieder, um diese schöne Aussicht zu genießen.

Die Lage der Wohnung war für mich ideal, ruhige Lage, kurze Wege zum Strand und in den Ort. Ich wurde mit einem gedeckten Tisch, mit einer Schale Äpfel, Wasser und Saft im Kühlschrank, empfangen. In der Wohnung gibt es alles, was man im Urlaub braucht. Die Aussicht von der Dachterrasse ist wunderbar. Ich komme wieder, danke, Fanis!

5 out of 5 average rating, 26 reviewsGold Sea Place
Im Golden Sea Place haben wir genau die Ruhe und Entspannung gefunden, die wir gebraucht haben. Sehr gemütliche und helle Unterkunft mit herrlichem Blick über die Bucht. Liegestühle auf der Terrasse in der Sonne oder im Schatten eines Olivenbaums. Jederzeit kann man über ein paar Stufen zum privaten, felsigen Strand gelangen und sich ins klare, türkisfarbene Wasser werfen. Manolis, der Nachbar, der sich vor Ort um das Haus kümmert, hat uns toll umsorgt und war immer erreichbar. Seinen Hund haben wir auch sehr ins Herz geschlossen. Die Nachbarn in den umliegenden Gärten waren auch alle sehr gastfreundlich. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Für die Einfahrt von der Straße zum Haus ist ein etwas höher liegendes Auto sehr zu empfehlen (wie im übrigen auch für viele Straßen im Südosten Kretas).

5 out of 5 average rating, 8 reviewsCasa Tarrha - Heated Pool (optional)
We booked this place to get away from crowds/to relax and it was perfect for that. We stocked up on groceries in Kissamos on our way in so we could mostly stay put since it is fairly remote. The taverna down the road (Gialites Taverna) is walkable and was an excellent experience. It is about an hour drive to get to other destinations - we went to Falassarna, Balos and Kissamos. The drive is beautiful through the mountains but is very winding and narrow so just be prepared for that. The house itself was very nice/updated and had everything we needed. Couldn’t get enough of the views from the pool or the star gazing at night. I may be somewhat bias to this place as my boyfriend and I actually got engaged on the pool deck at sunset one evening, if that gives you an idea of how picturesque it really is. Pool was actually pretty cold in August but not enough to keep us out. A\C and all appliances worked great. Book this place for an unforgettable experience!

Le logement est impeccable et correspond exactement à la description. L’emplacement est idéal pour se promener, la vielle ville, la côte, les restaurant à proximité… Le soir le quartier est animé mais toute l’isolation phonique de l’appartement est incroyable ! On dort dans le calme ! Le rooftop avec vue mer et évidement un gros plus pour se poser et prendre un petit déjeuner ou l’apéro au soleil!

Condo in Limenas Chersonisou
5 out of 5 average rating, 29 reviewsMaison Aqua Suite, 2BR ,Private mini pool Jacuzzi
**Title: A Perfect Stay in Crete!** Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) We recently had the pleasure of renting an apartment with George at Luxury Maison Aqua Suite in Crete, and I can’t say enough good things about our experience! **Location:** The location of the condo was amazing — just a short walk to the beach, making it perfect for relaxing days by the sea. It was conveniently situated near Knosos and Agios Nikolaos allowing us easy access to fantastic dining options and local attractions. This made our stay feel centered and made it easy to explore everything Crete has to offer. From the moment we arrived, George was incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. His recommendations for local restaurants and attractions were spot-on, making our stay even more enjoyable. As for the apartment itself, it was absolutely amazing. Each bedroom featured adjustable air conditioning, ensuring a comfortable night’s sleep. The kitchen was well-equipped,

This apartment really was a highlight of our stay. The hosts went above and beyond to make our stay lovely - When we arrived there were fresh flowers, biscuits, Jams, butter, coffee, cheese, fruit and water! Made us feel right at home. Perfect location, quiet and very safe! Only 15/20 mins to walk to the old town, we love a walk - it’s right along the coast too! The area is away from the hustle and bustle so it’s nice and quiet, you can hear the sea, which is so peaceful! Overall, amazing! Genuinely the best host we’ve had!

Apostolis ist ein sehr freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Vermieter. Die Art und Weise sich um den Gast und den Aufenthalt zu kümmern, war perfekt. Es wurden viele Tipps und Empfehlungen für Unternehmungen und lokale Restaurants gegeben. Wirklich, sehr empfehlenswert.
Condo in Paleokastro
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 128 reviewsZen Townhouse - Infinity Seaview
Das Zen House bietet eine atemberaubende Aussicht auf das Meer und auch Heraklion . Die Wohnung war sehr komfortabel, modern eingerichtet und hatte alle Annehmlichkeiten! Die Klippenstrasse hinunter gelaufen an der Hauseigenen Kapelle vorbei führte zu einem einsamen kleinen Strand mit glasklarem Wasser und Sonnensegel, um im Schatten die Seele baumeln zu lassen . Marianna und ihre Familie waren sehr freundlich und immer zu erreichen bei Fragen ! Guter Ausgangspunkt zu vielen Ausflugzielen
Condo in Makrygialos
4.9 out of 5 average rating, 50 reviewsBy the beach, cozy, quiet apartment.
Wir können die Wohnung von Evi absolut empfehlen. Sie hat eine tolle Lage am Rande des Dorfes und es ist wirklich direkt an einem sehr ruhigen schönen Strand. Eine kleine, sehr wenig befahrene Strasse ist dazwischen. Wir haben es geliebt, Tags und Nachts das Rauschen des Meeres zu hören. Die Wohnung hat für 2 Personen eine super Grösse, ist sehr sauber und mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht (sogar Liegen für den Strand). Die Terrasse (eine umbefahrene Auffahrt) ist nicht ganz so privat wir bei Evis anderen größeren Wohnungen aber für das Preis Leistungs -Verhältnis total okay. Super war auch die Kommunikation mit Evi und Dimitris, die uns tolle Tipps für die Umgebung gegeben haben. lieben Dank nochmal!

We were there for a week. The owners have a small store underneath the apartment. They were therefore personally available at all times and had good tips for the surrounding area. The apartment itself was very clean and was in very good condition. We would come back at any time.
