Garden. Hands down. We were speachless when we walked the garden. Amazing work by the owners. So amazing garden architecture you might only find in Japan mountains. Also we loved the near beaches of Xerokampos area and the tasty food of the tavernas at Kato Zakros, And the shop at Zakros village is well supplied with local products. The bed in the studio fitted my body and we had a comfortable sleep.

Most travelers will arrive in Crete through Chania or Heraklion, then either drive or get a bus eastward. They might do as I did and hop to Agios Nikolaos, then to Sitia, and finally will travel further east to the small town of Zakros. At that point there are two ways to the village of Kato Zakros; either a short drive or a hike through the Gorge of the Dead. The Gorge is not particularly long but the ground is covered in loose rocks, which means every step must be carefully taken and you must be physically apt with good mobility. For the love of God, make sure you and your friends wear good boots with ankle support. I took the hike on a nice breezy day. The Gorge of the Dead is where the ancient Minoans of the region laid their dead to rest — and if you go there on a quiet day you'll understand why. It is a place of introspective peace and quiet. I arrived at Kato Zakros around noon, finding a very quiet and peaceful village in the process of preparing itself for the approaching tourist season. The studio was atop a hill, with an absolutely stunning view of the village, the Minoan ruins of Kato Zakros, the olive groves and the sea. Georgia welcomed me with food and drink, and her hospitality was so great that during my stay I even had lunch with her and her family. The studio is a cozy, compact home with a small kitchen and spacious bathroom, and a bed with some kind of magical capacity to induce incredible sleep. The whole place gives off a sense of peace and quiet that cannot be conveyed with words. After crossing the Gorge of the Dead all the problems and stresses of life back home are so far away. The insanely wealthy burn small fortunes building excessive homes that cannot give the sense of peace that Georgia's studio gives. Plus the combo of Gorge of the Dead + Georgia's Studio + Minoan Palace + Beach is the kind of thing psychologists should seriously consider a high tech therapy method.

    Beautiful beach with free sunbeds and umbrellas and friendly tavernas onto the beach. Its slight remoteness means its not overrun with tourists and is very peaceful. Do get up early to walk the Gorge - stunning.

    Kato Zakros is lower Zakros, a very small village with several tavernas, a pebbly beach with parasols & loungers and a tiny harbour where the fishing boats come and go. No shops here. Picturesque, set in spectacular hills and to stay in a local house or apartment is bliss. A 10-15 minute trip in car takes you to Ano Zakros, that's upper Zakros which has plenty of shops, supermarkets and a Pharmacy. Visit the mountain source of the water spring here. Fabulous. There is a really excellent Natural History Museum here in Ano Zakros- a must to visit, €3, where a wonderful knowledgeable lady gave us terrific information on local area. Tavernas here too. I forgot to mention the Gorge...a great walk through the Gorge of the Dead, I think so called because Minoan people may have buried their dead in the holes in the hills. Stunning place. Long walk, about 4 hours from beginning to end coming out at different place.

    Kato Zagros has an excellent beach, in fact more than one. Plenty of parking. Choice of beachside restaurants. A great Minoan excavation and the Zagros (Deadman) Gorge walk starts in the town. There are many walks to explore. Serviced by daily tour buses.

    This is a place of peace and quiet. Great area for walking. There is the archealogical site, the gorge of the Dead to visit. Lots of choice for eating, i would recommend Akrogiali Taverna. Our accommodation was up high above the beach, which was not so good for anyone with problems walking.

    Loved this little patch of heaven.

    Loved this little patch of heaven. We came in late September, it was really quiet with about 20 people spread on a relatively large beach. There are a few tavernas and hiking routes here so most people were hikers. If you want loud bars and busy this isn’t the place for you. If you want to unwind and be quite isolated then this place is it.

    A hidden gem on the Eastern Coast of Crete. Outstanding garden settings, very nicely decorated, with lots of places to hang out, take a nap or have a drink. Rooms are small but very convenient and comfortable and have a true cretan charm. Welcoming was very nice and the staff did all they could to allow us to have a nice stay. The hotel is perfectly located a short walk from the Zakros Gorge or the minoan site, and 500m from the nice beach of Kato Zakros with great tavernas. We had a great stay and would love to come back in the future!

    A great location on the hill above Kato Zakros. Outside were hammocks, lots of chairs to gaze over the valley to the sea. Inside was very traditional (the clue is in the name...) with dark decor and collections of old farrier tools on the walls. Not like anywhere else we have stayed! Kitchen area and bathroom with the bathroom easily reached from the bed. A great night at the local taverna, recommended by our host, who was charming, and lovely views. The sea front restaurants are all lovely. Zakros and the mountains are a must-see.

    I booked last minute as I was on the road & decided to stop. It's a nice apartment, large with everything you need. It's up on the old road to Zakros so great views. Nikos, Manoli & Giorgos from the Taverna at kato Zakros are helpful & super friendly, you collect the key from there.. Zakros minoan palace ruin is just down the road & walking to the gorge is easy. Great food there right on the beach, peaceful, traditional & good for the soul. I will return 😀..efharisto
