Featuring an a la carte restaurant, Elafonisi Resort by Kalomirakis Family is set amidst a garden with olive trees. It offers air-conditioned accommodation, some self-catering, and free Wi-Fi in public areas. The popular Elafonisi Beach is 650 metres away. I enjoyed the food at the location. It was beyond our expectations. Also, the beach is very close, 5 minutes walking. The apartment rooms are located in a beautiful olive tree garden. They all have a balcony, AC and bathroom.

Aphrodite Beach Hotel is located on the sandy beach of Mavros Molos in Kissamos. It features a swimming pool, umbrellas and sunbeds on the beach and offers free WiFi throughout.

Each with a furnished balcony with sea, garden or mountain views, the spacious units at Aphrodite Beach include air conditioning, a satellite TV, hairdryer, toiletries and safe. A wonderful hotel! Although Google Maps showed it as a two-star hotel, it definitely deserves at least four. The apartments are newly furnished with a beautiful design. Breakfast could perhaps have a bit more variety, but everything was tasty. The beach is excellent, with comfortable sunbeds, and the bar is open from early morning until late at night — something the neighboring hotel didn’t have. Small details like these truly create a very good overall impression. Many thanks to the hostess for her care. It’s a pity we couldn’t extend our stay. Thank you! Sincerely, Vytautas and Vilija

At a quiet and beautiful location on the coast of Kavos, Kavos Hotel & Suites boasts views over the Cretan Sea. It offers well-designed accommodation and a large outdoor pool with sun terrace.

The village Stavros is only a 2-minute drive away. It has a lovely beach and offers traditional taverns. Chania International Airport is at 9 km. Free parking is available on site. Just a great Holiday there could be nothing more to say. Everybody here is doin’ an amazing job: from the housekeeping to receptionists, to the drivers and to the kitchen. Great food, very unique tastes, perfect cocktails, absolutely professional and kind waiters. The pool is a little pearl and the private beach gives the chance to choose even better. The SPA is also an example of how to treat clients: extremely professional, putting the customer comfort and needs at the first place, impeccable hygien and cleanliness and the massages were among the bests we ever had (and we have many regularly around various countries). Absolutely recommended to anyone: singles, families, couples. Thank’s for everything, hope to be soon your guests again!

Housed in a historic building, the recently renovated CARPE DIEM HOTEL provides accommodation with a terrace and free WiFi. The property has mountain and city views, and is 9.2 km from The Palace of Knossos. The aparthotel features family rooms as well as facilities for disabled guests. A beautiful hotel with all the charm of an historical building and the comforts of modern design. Big rooms are a plus, as were the comfortable and artfully decorated common spaces. The two patios made for great space in which to hang out. Our host Gianandrea was very welcoming and helpful. Archanes is a charming town with excellent restaurants in the main town square. Carpe Diem was a perfect stay after a day of touring neighboring Knossos. The cool mountain breeze offered a nice contrast to the hot beaches. We will have to return for more exploring of this majestic countryside with rolling hills, olive trees, and trees grape vines.
