The perfect spot for a peaceful vacation by the sea.
Pros:

We have stayed in this location several times. The location is perfect. You can drift off to sleep with the sound of waves. In the morning, you can go downstairs to have coffee and a beautiful Greek breakfast next to the sea. The rooms are extremely comfortable and clean. The staff is kind and helpful. We will return.

Couldn't Have Asked for a Better Stay!
Pros:

I absolutely loved my stay here! This family-run hotel (and restaurant) has such a warm, welcoming vibe. Everything was great—the room was super comfortable, the bed was amazing, the location is beautiful, and the view... wow. I could have stared at it all day.

The best part, though, was the people. Everyone was so kind, helpful, and genuinely fun to chat with. You can really feel that they care about their guests.

I was traveling solo, and I felt safe and looked after the entire time, which meant a lot to me. It's one of those places that's hard to leave, and I'd happily come back. Thanks for making my trip so special! ❤️

Cons:

There was not even one thing I didn't like!

Gem of place on the south of Crete.
Pros:

What a gem. This was a fantastic place. A perfect sunset, beautiful scenery, and great food. The room was large and exactly like the pictures. The bathroom was clean, modern and very comfortable. No problems on check in or out.

Nettes Hotel mit toller Aussicht
Pros:

Schönes kleineres Hotel direkt am Meer gelegen. Die Zimmer sind zwar relativ klein, aber sehr schön renoviert. Jedes Zimmer aht einenn kleinen Balkon mit Blick auf die kleine Bucht.

Cons:

Es kann abends von der Touristengasse unterhalb relativ laut sein. Auch der Fährverkehr der ab 07:00 Uhr morgens beginnt kann relativ laut sein, wenn das Fenster offen ist.
