Just very small/ trivial things which honestly do not impact the overall value of the place, the bathroom can be a hassle to mop up after showering as there is only a curtain division between toilet, sometimes noise can be heard from other people above or the neighbourhood working construction, and perhaps people will comment about the electrical cord which “blocks” the sea view from 1st floor apartment balcony, but as my partner said : do you want the view or do you want electricity? 🤣 after a day or so you don’t notice any of the things mentioned because that’s the magic of Crete ✨

The location on top of the hill with the sea spanning in the background is exactly what you would envision when visiting Crete. We had a corner apartment so the balcony was huge and secluded. The unit had AC which was appreciated. It was easy to walk or drive down to the hidden beaches and Tavernas at the shore. Stunning sunsets every night!

The amazing sunset views over the bay. Great air-conditioning.

Shower didn’t have hot water. Not much happening close to the hotel. Requires a car to get to places.

The view was amazing. Place was clean and spacious. It had most of what I would need.

Note that payment may be requested in cash and the nearest ATM isn’t very close by.

We enjoyed our stay in this clean, spacious studio located in a peaceful part of the village. It was perfect with a rental car, close to a small beach and nice tavernas. The balcony offered stunning views of the most beautiful sunsets. The apartment had blackout blinds, free parking, and everything was spotless. Our studio involved two flights of stairs to access, so it may not suit those with mobility issues, ask about a first-floor option if needed. Communication with the host was fine.

Beautifull view!

There’s nothing I didn’t like

The view, the view, the wilderness of the are, the owner, the beach nearby, the church. The road to the property. All very authentic.

Stayed in June 2025

The view is obstructed by the cable. The supplies are not fully equipped for cooking.

The view from the balcony is amazing. The neighborhood is very quiet and great for get-away.

Nothing.

The accommodation was large and spacious with a fully equipped kitchen. The AC was new, well positioned and worked excellently. The room opens onto a long balcony with stunning views (and even more stunning sunsets). The bed was very comfortable and the shower strong and hot. The apartment was spotlessly clean and met all my expectations from the Booking.com website. Parking is available and free. The host, Lefteris, was kind and helpful. It is only a short drive down to the beach and a local taverna - family run - and arguably the best food I have had in Crete. This area of Crete is very special and easy to explore. The perfect stay.

WI-FI

Maybe having a microwave in the apartment would be good but we managed to deal without it.

This is one of the best places we stayed in Crete yet. You definitely have to use a car to rich this place but being far from large settlements is a big advantage. This place have a wonderful view on a sea bay, there are some hiking trails around. Shower, kitchen, beds and everything else was completely ok. The owner was very friendly.

Panorama from the balcony: exceptional, breathtaking. The host who welcomed us very kind and helpful.

The wi-fi.

Very clean, large and comfortable room. Very quiet place with spectacular view. The only thing that didn't work was the wi-fi.

(-) Absense of some basic ammedities: like spare garbage bags (considering room service cleans room every 3 days), extra towels & pillows (-) Payment: Since the host manages all payments, be prepared to pay in cash if requested. We spent lot of precious vacation time trying to find an ATM that has low fee, as we do not like to carry cash around. The Bank of Chania was the best, fixed 2.5€ fee for all transactions. But it is an additinal expense to account for.

(+) View: Breathtaking panoramic view of the blue sea, from every window. Note that there is a cable line in front of the balcony, visible from all the lower floor apartments. But it is not obstructing the view. (+) Comfort: The bed was comfortable, good for having long rests. (+) Flexibility: The host is really flexible with check in/out times. We were given instructions for self-check in and out, giving us opportunity to pace our trip without having to care about time. The road around Kleio studios is cliffside with some exposed sections, so responsible careful driving is required. After getting used to it, you realise how close it is by car to get around: highway road (5 mins), Chania (30 mins), Kissamos (15 mins), beach (3 mins)

It is a little bit overpriced

The view and the beach near. I would recommend it for families as it has enough space and two rooms. To go to the taverns or beach you still need a car

We were 5 and there was not enough glasses for us. Also, there is not enough cutlery.

The view is just stunning. The balcony is spacious. Also, there is some coffee maker, toaster to prepare some food. Shower is big and you can find loundry mashine there. There are 2 beaches nearby and if you have a car its easy to reach them. Also, if you wanna visit Chania, Balos, Elafonissi it is a good location!

Spacious apartment with amazing view.

Impossible to sleep on that mattress for the first two nights, the springs hurt your back and It was too hard and uncomfortable but the property manager added a mattress topper for our third and fourth night, which made it a bit more comfortable.

Amazing views of the ocean. The Studio was big with a very spacious balcony.
