Luxury Apartment in Heraklion
Very spacious, modern apt with a beautiful balcony. The street noise below made it difficult to sit out and talk there, but the view of the ocean was very nice. Well appointed kitchen. Very clean and neat. Mihalis gave us a great recommendation for dinner nearby that was lovely. We had a nice stay here

"Everblue" Sea view apt in the heart of the city
The place was exactly what we expected and very comfortable and clean. The host was flexible with us for checking in and was there to greet us when we arrived. The host provided information to help us schedule our taxi to the port to catch our early morning ferry. The location was perfect with everything we wanted in walking distance.

Beach Front Boho Penthouse Overlooking the Sea
Outstanding location, many place to eat and shop. It’s steps away from the beach and the roof top patio is spacious and beautiful. Lots of public transit but we chose to rent a car to enjoy the whole island. Would highly recommend this apartment. Host was very helpful.

Artemis Seafront Apartments - 6
Wow! Artemis is such a thoughtful host. The property is peaceful and beautiful. It’s a wonderful way to enjoy Crete and the Mediterranean. Our apartment was cleaned every weekday; that was a bonus!

7Olives suite no3. Arched balcony SEAview. Thyme
The apartment is compact but fine. It is a little against the hill, which is easily walkable ( so rising). The view over the bay never bores, is so beautiful! In the village there are plenty of supermarkets and restaurants, enough to choose. A large part of the beach is a slowly sloping sandy beach. Really nice! Furthermore, a great base from which to see the surroundings.

° Moonstone Seafront Suite
We had a great time, very nice apartment. Very nice host !

Beachfront Red suite-Ligaria beach
amazing stay and we enjoyed the welcome gifts. thank you again for a great stay!

Villa Athina in front of the sea
Very nice home and location very nice, walkable to harbor and old town which was very nice! Lots of restaurants! The house was very clean and comfortable and really pretty view of the sea from living room area. The layout was very nice as bathroom on floor of living are and second floor with bedrooms with full bath very nice, lots of room!! My only complaint was, in my opinion, the portrait over master bed was very provocative and also, in my opinion, offensive being a female. Don’t understand why there must be naked pictures of female. This really offended me and can’t understand why??? Laura Rehm

Vista Mare Villa Heated Pool
The place is so beautiful and clean. The view from the outdoors is nice and peaceful. The scene of sheep eating grass multiple times a day in a small field under the pool is wonderful. (Photo first house) Maria, who showed us around, is so kind and nice.

Dejablu (Heraklion)
Great! Go for it! The accommodation: Wow! Clean, cozy, comfort. A magnificent terrace with a private jacuzzi that we enjoyed a lot and a breathtaking view of the small port. A kitchen with everything you need (fridge, dishes, cutlery, etc.). 2 beautiful bathrooms with everything you need (towels, products, etc.). Comfortable rooms. A living room with Netflix, for those who want to relax a little in the evening. The welcome: Wow! Harry was waiting for us with a smile, despite our delay (plane, car rental, the vagaries of travel🤣). On site a lot of things to start our vacation well: fruit, cold cuts, bread, water, coke and lunch (jams, honey, coffee...) The big plus: Thanks to Harry for his good advice (places to visit, restaurants, taverns, beaches...) and his constant availability and speed to respond during our stay. The place: Very nice port, a little noisy and lively in the evening. A good start to travel.

Villa Olivelia with Pool - Afrathias Beach
Great holiday home in a quiet and secluded location. Excellent and flexible host and very friendly owners. The outdoor area and pool are even better than on the pictures! Welcoming dinner on our arrival :-)

Casa Marathi Blue Sky
Absolutely beautiful stay. Enjoyed our time there and would definitely stay again.

Phy~Sea Villa
The Location was amazing. Quite and private. Everything was amazing there was nothing to complain about probably the best airbnb I have ever stayed in. Marianna is absolutely amazing. The sweetest and most caring host ever. She gave us so many recommendations and was beyond helpful. I would recommend mend this place to everyone!!

Kalamaki-Sunset | Stunning SeaView & Modern Design
We spent 8 days in Fani's accommodation. The apartment is very modernly furnished and clean. It has everything a self-catering holiday needs. We were able to wash laundry, had all sorts of kitchen utensils and a great terrace where you could enjoy the view of the sea. The place itself offers everything you need. There are many restaurants and bars, a small supermarket, an ATM and much more. The loungers + parasol on the beach cost a total of €10 per day, if someone comes to settle the bill. We had a rental car to explore the area. Crete is huge and it takes time to get to certain places. For the start, Fani left us water, fresh fruit and small snacks. It was a great stay. Thank you ☺️

Daedalux house in the heart of the Venetian port
Easy to explore the old town. Located on the quieter side of the Venetian port. Services nearby. Too soft a bed in my opinion, but it's just a matter of sleeping.

Livikos House, Lentas
Fantastic! Ideal for those who want to recharge the soul. An incredible location, an incomparable view. A selected beautiful & personal decor. We felt immediately welcome. 7 wonderful days. Thank you and happy to come back :)
Waterfront condo accommodation

Orpheus House beachfront 2bdr panoramic view
This is absolutely our favorite Airbnb that we've ever stayed in (and we've stayed in a lot). The place is adorable. Katerina is very responsive and lives right by the apartment. The view is wonderful, and both the living room and twin bedroom have doors that open onto that view. It has everything you need and more, with Katerina providing treats and even cereal and milk for that first morning. The air conditioning worked well, but there is also a lovely breeze from the sea. There are tons of restaurants and cafes just below the apartment as well as with 5 and 10 minutes walk in Old Town. It would be comfortable for a couple and a third person (such as a child) or two people, each with their own room. The washing machine was great to have, and you can dry clothes on the lines off the balcony. We did not want to leave.

Venetian Harbour Gem
Valias place was amazing ! We dealt with her mum Katerina who was super friendly and always on the phone if I needed anything. Perfect location with stunning views of the Venetian port . Everywhere easy to get to. The beach about a 30 min walk and a beautiful one at that. Highly recommend and are looking forward to booking again nxt year 😀

EYGE transformed modern apartment by the sea-new!
We had a great time at Fotis and Amalia’s place. Definitely one of the cleanest places we’ve stayed! The location was perfect as we like to stay just outside of the hustle and bustle but close enough so we can dip in and out with ease. There’s plenty of bakeries, restaurants and supermarkets around. The views are just outstanding and we ended up getting food a few times to eat at home as we enjoyed to look at the sea from the house. It was also easy to cook, there’s plenty of utensils if you wish to prep a meal in. The bed was really comfortable, as I’m 7 months pregnant asked if we could have a couple of extra pillows and this was ready for our arrival. We were pleasantly surprised with the amount of groceries we had available at the house too! Fresh fruit (we loved making our own fresh orange juice in the morning!), bread, butter and many other snacks! Fotis was also great at recommending places to visit like beaches, restaurants and museums. We 100% recommend this place!

Kamelia-Apartment in front of the sea
Great place, we love Kalamaki! Beautiful view! Cosy, clean appartment! We hope to come back! Amazing beach, with a lot of restaurants near by! Highly recommended!

Seafront apartment, 40m from the beach!
Nice, modern flat at the beach. Is equipped with everything you may nee d. Very nice owner and the communication with Etouri was pleasant.

Seafront Luxury Suite
Loved the huge deck. Across street from beautiful beach where you could rent chairs and an umbrella and order food and drink. Walk to dozens of all kinds of different restaurants right on the “the strip” and in the old town.

Between 2 beaches + lonely coast ❤️island studio
I‘m more that happy that we decided to stay at Dimitri‘s place. He ish very kind and helped us right away, if we had any questions. The location is peaceful and has a great view. The beach is not far away and the size of the apartment is just perfekt for a single person or a couple. I will definitely visit again.

Zen Townhouse - Infinity Seaview
Marianna’s place was great - we had a very pleasant time there. The view over the Mediterranean Sea is stunning, and the location is easy to access. Her mum, Sonia, kindly made us a local pie upon arrival, and she was so friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. There are several excellent restaurants nearby, and it’s only about 20 minutes to the Heraklion city centre. Highly recommended!
