Where to stay in Makriyialos

The hotel was just sublime. The staff is very attentive (in the restaurant, bar, housekeeping, reception). The all-you-can-eat buffet, lots of choice, we loved especially the Mexican evening. The gourmet restaurant was delicious. Two animation teams are present, Kappa for the cultural side (hiking, cooking and cocktail lessons are great) and the international team for more traditional activities. Julie...

nice hotel certainly but does not deserve a 5 * Too bad it is Far almost nothing to do or visit alone around. the south-eastern coast of the island is sad, the hotel is high up you have to trudge all the time it's tiring. all exclusive very average. Regarding the afternoon (queuing for a sandwich, no choice) near the pool. The catering is fine, there is plenty of choice, except that it's the factory...

It's a haven for local life but close to the beach and restaurants. Beautifully kept rooms, extremely clean and all of the staff were the best and made you feel welcome and like family. Always happy to help us.

Ionio Star is an exceptional place. Located not at the center but closed to it with proximity to the bakery, grocery shop and local bar, at the sea (you can swim if you are good swimmer). What we liked is first of all fact that owner and his Family can show you what Greek Hospitality means. If you want - you can feel as part of Greek family. Breakfast is varied and certainly worth more than its cheap...

It was clean-ish and i have not been charged extra for the air-conditioning. It was though somewhat surreal. Be prepared for an adventure. In the end only cash, no receipt...

Nice place with own beach, nice people, hotel - higher Greek standard (every day perfect cleaning) excellent homemade local food (perfect cooker)

It is'a family run hotel with personal, kind, pleasant and attentive service. The food is excellent and typically Greek👍

Exactly what I needed! Beautiful view, great beach, clean, quite, amazing food and very friendly stuff! You need to come at least once 🍀👌

Everything you expect from such a place. Food was actually way better than expected. Right on the beach (mind the steps if you have a room on the highest floors) and perfect for spending your days on the beach.

The food is A M A Z I N G The People are very friendly The location is enchanting sitting next to the see VERY ROMANTIC and the prices are very reasonable

Artemis hotel is a somewhat tired 80's property with rooms that could use a renovation. Having said all the defaults, it is a family run property located literally on the superb beach of Malaria Gialos. People are so hospitable and eager to fulfill your every request that will blow your mind. The garden, lower level rooms are awesome if you are travelling with kids as the huge garden turns in a huge...

Good place to relaxing, and spend time. Rooms are old, but its comfortable. When you close the door every time, there is very dark, because its not glasses but wooden. View is very nice.

Love this place...Panagiotis and Areti are wonderful people.I cannot think a better place for my family to rest and relax!!

Great beach and just up the road is a lady who sells homemade wine and great figs from a charming roadside stall. The Lybian sea is noticeably warmer that the Aegean sea on the north side of Crete.

This place is very peaceful and the staff is very kind! You have to try the breakfast with the local cheese pie, it’s delicious.

An incredible stay at Aspros Potamos! The cottages are amazingly beautiful with a strong taste of authenticity and rustic style. The surroundings are just amazing, luscious green, peacefulness and serenity just a couple of minutes away from amenities.

Cozy, central location but far enough away from the overly beaten path, authentic, good breakfast, super friendly employees, hide-away place.

Wow! It is a cave-inside-the-hill kind of a hotel that dates back hundreds of years, but renovated from the end of last century. They offer organic self-made breakfast, products, cool cottages with authentic details (petroleum lamps for example) and the most amazing windy views. Be prepared to take many steps and reconnect with nature to the bone. There is a path to the town, 15 min and a gorge to...

Charmingly rustic throwback to the olden days. Magically restored rooms set into thick rockwork make for great cave like dwellings to relax in. Great little shaded terraces as well. Breakfast is delicious and ample, served by wonderful hosts. Accommodations do lack modern electricity, so bring a battery bank for devices, and maybe a small electric camping lantern; they have lights in the bathrooms...

Best b&b I’ve ever stayed! Be aware...No electricity in the rooms! Only in the common area of reception!

Can highly reccomand you to stay at Palmira Apartments! It's very family friendly! Very good service! Nice and quiet place! Close to the beach, supermarkets, restaurants, good weather and nice people..enjoy your stay!?☉?

In my years of travel to Crete Palmeria Apts is the very best I mean the Very Best I have had the pleasure to stay at it is the finest. My Sincere thanks to my host Maria.

From 8 till 19 june 2017 we stayed in Palmira apt. for the 4the time. Again we were very pleased by the very clean apartment and the good care of Maria and Manolis. The beaches are nearby. The village Makrisgialos is very relaxing. A recommandable adress for your holiday !!

Super nice Olive Orchard in the middle of typical Greek houses. Nice pool Breakfast is healthy and has a good variety

All good with this lovely little hotel next to the beach. Big clean rooms. Amazing pool area/pool bar/cocktails! Cute garden between rooms and reception. Only one complaint:the air-condition did not really work,was a bit too old.

Nice hotel, old but everything work as it should. We had a 2 room apartment, good size with room for 2 parents and our 2 teenage girls. We had a nice view over the garden. There one big pool with sunchairs for all with a nice shade from olivetrees. Really nice but old fashioned place, a place to relax, were there are no rush from a lot of tourists.

Great hosts and service. Very original Greek style with olive trees and flowers all over. Nice and calm atmos. Always clean and very close to the nicest beach with powder sand. I’m soooo coming back

Lovely gardens great pool our kitchen was small but ok for us bedroom had good storage and sitting area was nice balcony was great and surrounded by flowers and olive trees staff were very welcoming

Fun place to be. They were helpful when we wanted to anywhere on helping us with names and buses. We loved Crete.

A very peaceful and in the nature place. Clean, nice owner. Nice beaches a few minuites ride from there.

Very original place, great concept, nice cottages albeit a bit small. Beds were a bit narrow and too soft. Breakfast service would have helped a lot but we quickly got used to fetching our own breakfast at the village. The setting is beautiful and the walk through the White River Gorge was an amazing experience
