Holiday houses in Itanos

We were personally and very warmly welcomed by the two hosts. As a welcome gift, there were a few delicacies, which we were very happy about. The apartment is just great! Sparkling clean - cozy - beautiful - fantastic views - fantastic terraces. It is equipped with everything you need for a stay. On colder days it can also be heated, which was very convenient. We could have endured it a few more days here. In the small village there is a mini market (for basic supplies) with a small cafe and a tavern. We would book the apartment again immediately if we are back in the area. A rental car is helpful for exploring the surrounding area well.

The villa was so beautiful, very stylish and fulfilled all of our needs for a peaceful getaway in the sun. Yannis and Zoe left lots of local treats for us to try when we arrived and the whole villa was equipped with thoughtful bits and bobs that were very handy to have! They also sent us a long list of local beach/food recommendations that was extremely useful! Etia is a lovely tiny hamlet and feels very special to have the chance to stay in, the surrounding ruins and landscape make the place private and quiet, perfect if you love nature. Thanks for a lovely stay, we'll be sure to visit again!

Iosef is a wonderful host. He made us feel welcome right from the very start. His traditional Cretan home, that he has lovingly restored is truly magical. The views overlooking Sitia are absolutely breathtaking. You are surrounded by wild flowers, olive groves and not forgetting overlooking the turquoise waters of the Agean sea. Anyone who wants to Immerse themselves in nature, Cretan culture, flower scented clean air and perfect stillness. Then Iosef's beautiful home is for you. Iosef thank you so much for your kind hospitality, we enjoyed every single moment, especially the local honey!! We will definitely be back!!

The house has such stunning interiors, it is laid out like a 5 star hotel suite with all the added extras too - top quality shampoo/conditioner, body lotion and more. Kitchen was outstanding with every device require including 2 coffee machines - capsules and filter. The lounge is really big and the interiors very high quality, the TV is massive! The beds are super comfy and the linens really wonderful cotton, with beautiful throw cushions and occasional chairs. It feels like a 5 star hotel. As you enter the house on the lower level there are 2 double bedrooms with a shared bathroom and the laundry room, one flight of stairs up is the lounge/kitchen, and outside patio, then up again to the top floor is the master bedroom with dressing room, storage cupboard, ensuite bathroom, and outside patio. All rooms have air-conditioning. Sitia is a lovely harbor town with many restaurants and a great beach, lots of others a short drive away. Totally recommend this place - we hit the jackpot.

Had a fantastic 5 days, yes the accommodation is small but the veranda is big with a perfect view of the bay. The drive up from the beach is a little uneven but parking is ample when you arrive, right behind the room with no steps so it’s easy to get your case in. Georgie provided absolutely everything you could possibly need, the bed very comfortable and great AC if needed. Georgia will show you a shortcut path down to the beach and restaurants, you’ll need a torch at night. We loved it there, so peaceful and unspoilt. From the accommodation I walked up the old road then back down through the gorge 4 miles in total and beautiful, don’t try and drive the old road it’s v rough. Excellent food at reasonable prices in the tavernas behind the beach, free sun beds, very friendly people. I can highly recommend Georgias place

We had a wonderful time in Despina's apartment. We liked everything and felt welcome and comfortable. The description is great, the reality is even better. Despina is always helpful and responsive. We had some trouble finding the place. I wrote to Despina and she responded immediately. She arranged a meeting place with us. She was already waiting for us there🙏. We definitely want to come back, there is still so much to discover in eastern Crete. Many thanks, dear Despina and best regards to your mom ❤️

We had an indescribably beautiful time in the windmill. The view and the garden are stunning. Everything is prepared with so much attention to detail. We lacked nothing. In the village you can eat very well. You're just comfortable. We are happy that we were allowed to be there. If you're looking for something special, highly recommend this place.

We stayed end of April for over two weeks and absolutely loved our stay. Our welcome to Mandarini house by Venetia and Michalis was so thoughtful and considerate… many kind touches - homemade Easter treats, jam etc and enough in the fridge and cupboards to tide us over for a few days. The house is a fantastic base to explore Eastern Crete. It is comfortable, homely, practical, and the village is lovely and friendly. We had daily hikes, often from the village, there’s lots to see and do. We highly recommend Mandarini and we’re blown away by the pristine beauty of this special part of Crete 😎😎
