Holiday houses in Sougia

This is a real gem of a place to stay. A few kilometres outside Sougia in a beautifully quiet and peaceful spot on the hill surrounded by olive trees. The Eco House is very special. It has a kind of scandi aesthetic; everything is very beautiful down to the last detail. We wished we had such beautiful plates and bowls and lamps at home! It is also a very comfortable place to stay with everything you might possibly need and was exceptionally clean. The beds were very comfy and the bed sheets smelt gorgeous! However, the most special thing about this place is Corinne. One of the warmest, loveliest people you are likely to meet. She has obviously poured her heart into the Eco House and you can feel it. Corinne was incredibly welcoming and also gave us invaluable advice about what to do locally and how best to do it. THANK-YOU CORINNE. We will definitely be back!

This place is perfect for people looking for the country Crete experience, while only 30minutes from closely towns. Quiet and comfy, with everything you could want for a restful holiday. All the spaces are awesome. Inside and out. Everything is immaculately cared for. Manya is an exceptional host. Meeting us and then sitting with us for Raki and snacks when we arrived. She showed us how everything worked and had 40 oranges from her own trees, along with a basket of other fruits for us. She also left us alone and we enjoyed many days of peace and quiet laying by the pool and soaking in the sun. The kitchen and all appliances worked great. Beds were comfy and the WiFi was excellent. She truly thinks of everything and more. The nearby towns of Sougia and Paleochora are both nice. Paleochora is bigger, but both have great places to eat and very friendly people. Not a single bad thing to say about this place.

Even though the apartment offers only a basic standard, it had everything we needed for our 5-night-stay. The location close to the beach and various hiking trails was ideal for us. The apartment itself was very well maintained and super clean. They offered daily housekeeping - we didn't expect that. The owner Markos made us feel really comfortable throughout our stay and was always there to help. Communication was always prompt and very cordial. We were treated to a complimentary sundowner on the terrace. They also offer an inexpensive breakfast buffet. Since we are vegans we didn't make use of it, but we could see that many of the guests had their breakfast on the terrace. It looked really good. Even though there is accommodation closer to the beach in Sougia, we can definitely recommend a stay with Markos and his team!

Clean, comfortable, lovely place to stay in Sougia! Everything was as described and perfect for our needs. Thank you!

Great little pad at Elafonisi, and pretty much the closest you can be to the beach - which is about 7 minutes walk from all the accommodation and town. Lovely and peaceful – even though it was central it was tucked away and felt remote. Could have been stocked a bit better - only enough for 1 1/2 coffees, no tea. Great fridge/freezer but no glasses or plates - though they delivered some when I asked. As it's a great spot to relax after your beach time. Would recommend.

Uniquely beautiful, charming tiny house, wonderfully located between carob and olive trees, beautiful terrace with plenty of shade and seating and lounging options (as described and shown in the photos). The very friendly landlords live in the immediate vicinity (see photo 3). Thanks also to the very nice service staff Vicky, who changed the laundry in between! The proximity to Loutraki Bay is fantastic, the water there is crystal clear and wonderful for swimming. Interesting for future guests: the tavern praised in other reviews is currently (June 2025) closed, very close to an air force base, so occasionally jet planes fly - even at night. Overall recommended!

Great accommodation with spectacular views - communication, check in, stay were super easy! Around it, there are some people who can look out over the outdoor area, which did not bother us because of the few people who were there at the time. The accommodation is surrounded by a great landscape, the E4 passes directly by the house. However, the routes to the hiking areas such as the White Mountain Reserve or the highest mountain of Crete are not less than 2 hours by car. We felt super comfortable overall and would come back :)

We were very pleased with our stay. At the beginning, we were a bit shocked at how remote the apartment is. But we have learned to love it. Much better than in a classic tourist area. Nearby, you can visit many gorges. Sougia beach is 20 minutes away by car
