Reviews of Evita Bay Agia Pelagia Heraklion

It had everything that a person might need during a stay and more!

🌟 Exceptional Stay in Crete! 🌟 We had a wonderful experience at this guest house. The location was perfect — quiet, authentic, and close to beautiful Psaromoura beach. The room was very clean, comfortable, and well-equipped (we have had everything for comfortable staying in the kitchen: a microwave, an induction cooker, a hood, a refrigerator, and so on.) with charming Cretan touches that made us feel at home. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and hospitable, always ready to help with recommendations and making sure we had everything we needed. The room was air conditioned so we felt absolutely comfortable. If you don't want to bother cooking on vacation, there are plenty of excellent restaurants with Cretan cuisine. Nearby is a magnificent beach with crystal clear blue water. Also nearby is the charming embankment of a little town of Agia Pelagia This is a true gem in Crete — highly recommended for anyone seeking comfort, authenticity, and warm hospitality. We would definitely stay here again!

It was all awesome! The hosts, Galatia and her husband, are very kind and attentive to everything and will help you with anything you ask. The location is really good as it has a couple of beaches nearby and it’s not too far to all main destinations on the island. The tavernas close to Evita are really worth visiting 👍🏻

The accommodation is located within walking distance of three different beaches. The rooms are spacious, clean, and quiet, and you can easily watch the sunrise from your room. Galatia was very kind and helpful. Thank you so much for making our stay so pleasant!

Great location about 10min walk into town with multiple beaches nearby. Air conditioning worked well. The hosts were wonderful, very accommodating and flexible, and arranged airport transfers for us. The hospitality was enough to convince us that we’d like to return some day.

We stayed in a newly renovated room with garden views. Everything was spotless, the bed was comfortable, kitchen well equipped, and bathroom spacious. The private entrance courtyard was perfect for breakfast. Galatia, the owner, was charming and very responsive to our needs. The location is just a 5 minute walk to beautiful Psaromoura beach, though it can get crowded due to its size. Highly recommended for an enjoyable stay.

AMAZING! Agia Pelagia is nice place for relaxing. Beach is very close, just 5 minutes by walk. Position of room is excellent. We enjoyed the view of the sunrise and moon on the sea (romantic soul) Galatia is so sweet and nice person, we like her and her family. I have alredy reccommended my family to stay here,so warm reccommendation for you too! Sas efcharisto! 🫶🏻

Such a wonderful location with an exceptional view. My room had a balcony with unspoilt sea view as well as a roof terrace with 360° outlook of the whole bay and the sea. Galatia and George were kind and considerate to my needs, of which I am thankful. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean and well kept and had what I needed for my stay, though the kitchen equipment was a little sparse I managed. The sea view is stunning.

The shower curtain became a little annoying and the kitchen area a little small and frustrating, but I was preparing food in there for 2 weeks because of my dietary needs, so that probably wasn't ideal, under normal circumstances I would say its fine, basic but fine.

We had a wonderful stay in this very clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated apartment, just a short walk from the best beach in the area. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet, yet very convenient — with a supermarket, cafes, and everything you might need close by. The apartment had everything necessary for a comfortable and relaxing vacation. It was spotless, warm, and welcoming — truly felt like a home away from home. Galatia was incredibly kind, helpful, and always available to answer any questions we had. Her attentiveness and hospitality made our stay even more enjoyable. We highly recommend this place — a perfect choice for a peaceful and memorable holiday!

We had an amazing time at Evita Bay apartments and absolutely loved our stay there! The apartment was spotlessly clean, very spacious and had all necessary amenities. It is perfectly located in a quiet area of Agia Pelagia away from any crowds and noise and at the same time at just a few minutes walk from the Tavernas, Cafes and Supermarkets. We loved that the best beach in the entire area is just 2 min. away walking:). Sea views from the terrace were gorgeous! The best of all was the hospitality and friendliness of the owners Galatia and her husband. They are amazing people and gave us tips on the best places to eat and what to do and it was just nice to sit in their lovely garden and talk over coffee. Thank you so much and we will definitely visit again!! See you soon, Alex.

Everything was just great:)

Friendly hosts, accommodation is located super close to the beach (the best in the nearest area). Our room had a huge balcony, with the sea view everywhere. Highly recommended

The hostess is absolutely incredible, very kind, always with a smile, very helpfu,l answers queries straight away and is there to help you with anything you might need. The location is BRILLIANT!! Literally 1min walk away from the beach, really peaceful. The room was perfect and spotless. Highly Highly recommend and will definitely return

The property was clean and equipped with all necessary kitchenware. Really close to the beach, with a really nice view :-) Host was quite helpful and friendly. Without doubt, we will stay again at that place on our next vacation in Heraklion

Everything was great. The host was very helpful with suggestions and recommendations concerning things to see, where to look for a great beach as well as the restaurants. The apartment was clean and specious. Also, we had a great view of the bay from the balcony. Highly recommended. Best of luck!

Galatia is wonderful and a very attentive host. ❤️ She made me feel welcome and well looked after. Her family is on site with her too - and they are all super lovely. The kindness and generosity of Cretan people never cease to amaze me. The apartment was great: spacious, clean, comfortable and with a beautiful view. I cooked my meals every day and enjoyed eating and spending time in the balcony, taking in the views of both the sea and mountains. Amazing. And if you are an early riser you can also enjoy a beautiful sunrise from the balcony 🤩 The neighbourhood is very quiet, yet fairly close to the centre, shops, restaurants, with a beautiful beach just a few minutes away. A very relaxing and mind-body-soul-healing stay. Thank you so much ❤️

Terrace view was nice, kitchen has all required stuff.

The main disadvantage is an absence of air conditioner in the bedroom, in July it was super hot inside, night sleep was a nightmare, the only air conditioner is located at the kitchen which is combined with living room, but it was so weak that it was impossible to cool the temperature down, you can feel the cool air only if you stand in front of it in 2-3 meters distance. The road to the apartments is through the several garbage cans located in different places so the smell is not good. It is quite far from the restaurants area, you will be not happy to go there and back on foot every day. Nearest beach is quite small and that's why crowded. In addition to the heat inside apartment, at the day we had to leave, water disappeared and we had no chance to have a shower before leaving. Definitely not the best experience we had on Crete.

The location was perfect. We planned to explore Heraklion, but wanted to stay outside of the city. Very convenient to relax in the evenings and go for a swim. The adorable beach town with great restaurants is within walking distance. The hotel is perfectly close to Heraklion to visit the palace and museums. We could not have been in a better location. Not only was our room perfect for two, but our room had access to the magical rooftop deck. The family owners were beyond welcoming and charming. I did not expect such hospitality. I would certainly recommend to anyone, plus I look forward to returning!

everything exceeded expectations

We spent our vacation in this wonderful place at the end of July. Impressions - everything was simply superb! The hosts were very pleasant, kind, and polite - we are grateful to them for our pleasant vacation experiences. The apartment had everything necessary for a comfortable stay - the air conditioner worked great, although the external unit was a bit noisy, which didn't disturb our sleep with the windows closed, both during the day and at night. The kitchen was equipped with a refrigerator, stove, oven, kettle, and even two coffee makers (drip and capsule), all the necessary set of dishes. Pleasant interior, relaxing atmosphere, good comfortable beds. The view of the sea from the window was stunning! Every morning, I greeted the sunrise with a cup of coffee on the balcony. The beach was just a 6-7 minute walk away. The beach exceeded our expectations - a very picturesque place both above and below the water. For several days in a row, we observed the life of a small octopus that hid under a rock. I regret not having a GoPro with me... The nearest restaurant Yamas was only 3 minutes away. The restaurant was excellent with a breathtaking view, and we had dinner and lunch there for several days. The nearest minimarket was about a 10-minute walk away, where you could buy anything you needed, except coffee machine capsules 🙂 In the evening, you could take a stroll to the central beach, about a 20-minute walk downhill (a bit longer on the way back) - it's a great place with a festive atmosphere and lots of restaurants! Swimming at night was also possible, as the beach was well illuminated. In summary, it was simply a wonderful place where we could finally relax and unwind. We didn't want to leave :)

There are only 2 outlets in the bedroom, so it's advisable to bring a power strip (or buy one at the nearest minimarket).

Top view, near wonderful beach and amazing host Galatia who took care of all my needs.

This is a wonderful apartment in the small town of Agia Pelagia. The hostess of the apartments Galatia kindly ordered us a taxi transfer from the airport (30 minutes and 40 euros). Apartment number 6 on the third floor with a magnificent terrace and balcony. there is air conditioning, mini-kitchen, refrigerator, hair dryer, everything you need for a pleasant stay. a small, very nice beach Psaromura, 100 meters from the apartments. There is a shop nearby, a good restaurant O Nicolas and Susami bakery. Everything was very nice and come back soon again 😊

Everything is great. The apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Great location next to the beach. The city center is about 10-15 minutes walk. In the center there is a normal supermarket Vasilis. In 5 minutes there is a small shop more expensive, but you can buy the most necessary things. Very friendly and helpful owner. I really hope I can come next year. Highly recommend. Thank you very much!

Everything was good.

Everything was perfect, super friendly staff, highly recommend.
