    Nice little hotel in the outskirts of Makry Gialos

    The hotel is on the outskirts of Makry Gialos and on the hillside, so for a person with mobility issues this might be hindrance. Some parts of the hotel are dated, but there has been major renovations in for example bathrooms, which were spanking new and beautiful.

    We loved the staff in this hotel! There were raki and cake (and water) waiting for us in our room and upon arrival we were offered some juice by the lovely grandmother. The room was very clean and tidy. We happened to be here sadly during the wildfires in Ierapetra region so we maybe didn't get to enjoy the surroundings as much as we would have otherwise done due to the strong winds and the constant tracking of the fires, but we felt safe at the hotel.

    Fabulous place just a short walk from the town. Really peaceful. Lovely welcome with cake and rake in the room. Pool was clean and has a lovely view. Rooms have blackout shutters and stayed cool. Balcony was great for watching the sunset.

    Everything was perfect.

    This is a small white block of studios with a pool and a lovely elevated view of the village (Makry Gialos, Southern-East Crete). The studios are perfectly arranged and clean, the lady owner is very friendly and amusing. It is not impossible to reach the place on foot, climbing up the small road but generally you would need a car - because the village is several kilometers long parallel to the sea, and there are many other places to visit in this very beautiful area of Crete.

    Everything was perfect! Despina and Nikos are the kindest hosts, we really felt at home during our stay. Our studio was equipped with everything we needed, it was clean and comfy. Also the pool is a great perk and the studio is close to the town centre, to the beach and all the facilities. We will come back for sure!

    Only thing I say if you are old and not great at walking in heat it is up a hill from shops and beach so might not be good for you. But it was no problem for us as a family and it kept us fit the 10 min walk to and from the Beach.

    The apartments where so clean and airy and nice modern bathroom. The family and Mother that run it are so kind and friendly and bring you fruit cake and can’t do enough to help you. We miss them Already after amazing 2 week stay. You can also use the pool at Fisherman’s Jacks just down the hill to the right with lovely 25meter pool and friendly Bar.

    Excellent studio with well-equipped kitchenette, good beds and shower, and nice swimming pool. Very friendly owners ! The location is somehow isolated (but this also makes it quiet), but is well sign-posted and therefore easy to find. It is only 200m from the beach although the walk is a bit dull.

    Perfect stay from start to finish Despina Nikos and the whole family were so helpful and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The room was spotless and had everything one could need, including some delicious homemade cake ! We had an amazing view of the mountains from our balcony and a window view of the pool area which was also immaculately clean and overlooking the sea. Parking on site was a plus. The place is around 10 minutes walk from the center of the town and 3 minutes to the nearest convience shop. 8 minute drive away is dragons beach which honestly, is one of the nicest beaches we have been to. The only thing was the configuration of the bathroom was slightly awkward however nothing major, especially considering the value for money Would definitely recommend !
