Pros:

Très proche de la plage, 2 min à pied, parfait pour aller pique niquer dans le sable devant le coucher du soleil, ensemble de logements magnifiques, chaleureux et calmes. Stelios et son épouse sont adorables, discrets et très serviables. Tout est parfaitement propre aussi bien dans le logement que dans l'entrée et le jardin, très bien entretenu ! Parfait, nous recommandons très vivement !

Cons:

Rien !

Todella kaunis pieni hotelli erinomaisella, mutta rauhallisella paikalla lähes rannassa. Todella siisti huone ja ystävällinen isäntä.

Amazing! Quiet place in a stellar location. Run by kind and welcoming people.
Pros:

This was my second time at Astra. I came here last year with my kid and completely fell in love with the place. It's not far from the main road, but it's very quiet. It has a Santorini vibe, which I really love. The rooms are cleaned every day by a very nice person, so even if you bring some sand from the beach, it won't stay in your room longer than a day. The hotel has a tiny veranda where you can spend some time reading, drawing, or chatting with other guests and with the owner, Mr. Stelios. On top of it, there's a lawn which makes it feel fresh in the Mediterranean heat and numerous flower bushes make the place photo-worthy. The walk to the beach takes less than 2 minutes. The sea there is perfect: crystal clear water, warm and salty. If you want to see some wildlife, I highly suggest swimming to the nearest rocks with a pair of swim glasses, you'll easily find lots of fish, crustaceans and molluscs. Finally, the owner of Astra is a very kind and friendly person. Overall, I highly recommend the pace.

True paradise
Pros:

Allt var yndislegt. Everything was fantasic, true paradise for middle aged couple. Cretan, friendly, simple, quiet and perfectly located. This family guesthouse is not ideal for a family with children or party animals; no swimming pool, no TV, no restaurant or breakfast buffet, but simply the best for me and my wife. Greetings to Stelios and family. We hope to see you again.

Cons:

We loved everything about this place.
