Elina was very accommodating and the space we rented was amazing! Thank you Elina, it was a wonderful end to our honeymoon. :)

Wir verbrachten 3 wundervolle Tage in der Villa patriko. Ein charmantes Häuschen mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Wunderschön. Es wartete ein frisch zubereiteter kretischer Salat und wahnsinnig leckere süße Spezialitäten im Kühlschrank auf uns. Einfach wow. Zudem war die Küche perfekt ausgestattet. Gewürze, Kaffee, Tee, leckere kretischer Honig und vieles mehr standen in der Villa auch für uns bereit. Kaliviani ist ein schönes kleines Dörfchen mit tollen Restaurants, wo typische kretische Speisen serviert werden. Sehr empfehlenswert :) Wer es nicht ganz so touristisch mag, ist an der Westküste ganz richtig. Ein Ausflug an den Strand von Falassarna ist ein Muss. Auch für den tollen Sonnenuntergang dort. Danke an Elina, und ihrer Mutter für alles. Wir komme gerne wieder.

We can honestly say that this was one of the most beautiful places we have stayed at. The pictures are wonderful but you must see it in person, it will take your breath away. The area is quite and prefect if you need a get-a-away. As Elina suggested you do need a car to get around but they are very affordable. Elina was always available when if we needed anything or if we had any questions. Thank you for hosting us :) we have a wonderful time.

From the moment we saw the pictures of this wonderful villa, and noticing Elina's use of image from Moonrise Kingdom (we're Wes Anderson fans too) we knew this had to be our first Air B&B booking. And we couldn't have been more pleased. All the reviews are true! The villa is immaculate, from the tended garden to our characterful room, cut into the rock. The welcome was very warm (thank you Nadia), the food delicious and the detail of herbs, local honey, home grown olive oil delightful. Lots of information for sights and logistics and then left with trust to enjoy their home. Thank you for making our first experience with Air B&B so terrific. The bench mark has been set high with this gem!!

What a great place to stay! We fell in love with the place and cannot wait to return next year. The studio was very clean and unique, we couldn't have asked for a better host. This stay really shows how much Greeks value hospitality.

It's just perfect! The house is small, but doesn't feel cramped and is cozy and definitely romantic. The balcony is perfect for breakfast or a glass of wine in the evening. The location is remote and quiet, so you need a car if you intend to stay there, but it's a beautiful village and anything you might need is nearby - a supermarket, several beaches and some of the best restaurants in Crete, including the fantastic Gramboussa. But the best part about this listing is the hostess. We didn't get to meet Elina and instead met her mother Nantia. On the first night, she welcomed us with wine, home-made sweets, and moussaka for dinner. The fridge was fully stocked. She said, of course you can't be bother to go shopping on your first night here. She visited us a few days later with wedding presents (we were in Crete on our honeymoon) and extra-fresh eggs from the chicken that her relative keeps somewhere nearby. She said, I think someone else's vacation is very important. And she acts accordingly. Nantia comes from somewhere in the area herself and loves it very much. She also knows a lot and is forthcoming with recommendations of things to see and do and taste. We especially followed her recommendations about restaurants both in Kissamos area and in Chania, and every time we were more than happy with them. To put it briefly, we felt like Nantia was our darling and loving aunt and not a stranger that is only there to provide a service and receive payment for it. We felt like she was a special blessing sent to us to make the beginning of our family life super great. You'll love staying here, we promise.

We had a great stay in the Cave House. It looked just like in the pictures. Our hosts were very welcoming, meeting us to answer questions on our first day and responding quickly to questions by email when needed. The area is beautiful and our only real distraction was the roosters and goats in the wee hours of the morning! Really, it was something we could live with!

Looking for some R&R? This is the place! My husband and I spent one week for our one year anniversary and fell in love with this very romantic suite. Sitting on the patio having a glass of wine with our dinner or taking in the birds chirping in the early morning with a cup of coffee. The suite has everything you need and believe me if it doesn't just ask Nantia she is more than happy to help! Renting a car is highly recommended though there isn't much around you but the town of Kissamos is just a 10min drive away! Balos lagoon is close but be warned it's a steep dirt road to it. The lovely beach of Falassarna is only a 15min drive and much easier to access. Nantia surely is a super host! She went above and beyond to make sure our stay was more than perfect! From stocking the fridge with pastries, yogurt, milk, juice so on & her recommendations of restaurants in downtown Chania (40min away) were more than excellant! It was a sad goodbye as it truly was a dream like vacation rental. Please feel free to ask any questions as I'd be happy to help but so would Nantia, she is the most wonderful person. Till next time!

Wij zijn nog nooit ergens zo gastvrij ontvangen dan door Tina en Elana!! We voelden ons direct thuis. Er was een pasta salade voor ons gemaakt, er stond een fles wijn voor ons klaar met een heerlijk traditioneel Grieks gebakje! Die haar moeder had gemaakt. Her huisje is prachtig met een adembenemend uitzicht! De villa is van alle gemakken voorzien en een ideale locatie voor tripjes naar Elafonisie, Balos of Falasarna. Tina reageert erg snel op de sms'jes voor tips en/of adviezen!! Wij raden iedereen die huisje aan met twee grote slaapkamers en 2 badkamers. Oja de rit naar de villa toe is ook super mooi dwars door olijvenplantages! Diner tip! Restaurant Gramvousa en Restaurant Zacharias. Bedankt lieve meiden voor alles! Jullie zijn geweldig!!

Fint og hyggeligt hus med skøn udsigt.

The place and Tina were great. The villa feels brand new and is obviously very well cared for. We really enjoyed our time there and it made a good base to visit the stunning beaches in the area.

We spend a verry great time in Tina's house, verry nice place and the kids had a lot of fun in the pool, nice view on the see and Tina has been verry helpfull , waiting up to the early mornig to welcome us. This side of Crete is wunderfull and a lot of nice beaches arround, for shopping ervery thing is at 10min ride buy car...... Thanks Tina and may be for a nother time, best regards Dirk, Johanna, Camille and Jeanne

Our journey in Creta was simply wonderful. Creta is a place full of nature, good food and warm people. Our holiday will remain unforgettable, the same can be said of Tina and her place!!! This charming and gentle woman who cares for details and comfort of her guests made us (our family of four people) feel at home. We do suggest visiting her. The hous is beatiful and equipped to satisfy your need for rest and comfort. The geographical location is perfect serving all the most beatiful areas of interest. We will never forget Tina and her Villa.

Ce séjour chez Tina fut excellent et magique : La villa est belle et bien décorée, spacieuse, très propre et bien équipée pour une famille avec enfant (s) en bas âge. La piscine privée est parfaite. Tina est souriante, accueillante et attentionnée avec ses hôtes, une corbeille de fruits et des rafraîchissements nous ont été offerts à notre arrivée. Le cadre naturel laisse rêveur : La baie de Kissamos en fond avec aux alentours des oliviers à perte de vue ainsi que des cigales crétoises comme seules compagnes pour couronner le tout. Kissamos et ses commerces sont à moins de 10 minutes en voiture et les plages sont facilement accessibles. À recommander sans hésiter ! (Merci pour tout Tina, il appartient à chacun de réaliser ses rêves et certaines personnes croisées dans nos vies contribuent à cela, comme vous par exemple).

Lovely house and very welcoming hote! Thank you Tina for your kindness :) See you maybe in Paris ;)

Très belle surprise ! La maison est fantastique, très bien aménagée, très bien entretenue et super propre. Tina nous réserve un accueil excellent et est toujours présente en cas de besoin. La maison est construite avec des matériaux traditionnels avec goût. Sa jumelle est juste à côté mais sans aucun vis à vis et chacun dispose de ses aménagements et de sa très belle piscine de façon privée. Si un conseil pourrait être donné pour améliorer encore l'accueil de ses hôtes à Tina serait de compléter la vaisselle dont la quantité et un peu juste ou certains articles manquants et de mettre un miroir en pied ... mais tout était parfait pour nous. Merci à Tina et à son amie pour nous avoir permis ce séjour si agréable.

My best friend and I stayed here for a week for a relaxing holiday in West Crete and it was amazing! Unfortunately we didn't get to meet María, but her friend Katerina was extremely helpful and welcoming. The apartment was really lovely and clean, the bed was very comfy, and it was only about a 10 minute walk from the beach. Everything we needed was in walking distance. Perfect, thank you, María!

Maria hat uns wärmstens mit Limonade und einem selbstgemachten Dessert empfangen! Sie war sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich, sie hat alles, was sie in der Wohnung hatte mit uns geteilt. Als sie fahren musste, hat sie uns sogar einen großen Schokoladenkuchen und Obst vorbeigebracht :-) Die Unterkunft selbst ist noch schöner und gemütlicher, als die Bilder zeigen. Es ist schön eingerichtet und bietet viel Platz, so dass man auch bei Regentagen drin bleiben kann und möchte. Die Lage der Wohnung ist optimal, nur wenige Schritte zu allem, was man benötigen könnte aber denoch so ruhig, dass man nicht von Autos gestört wird. Wir würden jederzeit wieder bei Maria wohnen!!!

Maria takes her role hosting guests above and beyond - we felt like family friends as she treated us with such generosity, kindness and attention. On arrival, Maria collected us from the bus stop and took is to her flat, which is above her house. She gave us a welcome drink and platter of food with her home made Cretan pies (we didn't need lunch that day!) We stayed for 4 days and each day Maria gave us delicious home made treats which she left on the doorstep. One evening we spent a few hours in her home downstairs eating and drinking with her, her husband and some family friends, after she invited us in when she spotted us returning from the beach. The flat is exactly as pictured and described - very spacious with two big verandahs to enjoy being outside for meals in good weather. The space is well equipped with everything you need, and Maria very kindly checks in to ensure you have everything you need. Thank you so much Maria! We can't wait until we can come back!

A bautiful loft, very comfortable and pleasant in a nice part of Kissamos close to the center and restaurants. Maria is a very reliable and caring host with various good tips and excellent Cretan food pieces in between. Very, very good and clean flat and definitely recommandable.

Nous avons été bien accueillis par Maria et son amie Katerina. Nous avons été heureux de séjourner dans ce quartier calme de Kissamos, et dans cet appartement très bien décoré et agréable à vivre. Les deux terrasses sont aussi fort agréables. Les photos représentent bien la réalité. La cuisine reste petite, avec peu d'ustensiles, mais on arrive à cuisiner des choses simples pour 2 personnes. Merci de tout coeur à Maria pour toutes les délicieuses douceurs et cadeaux de bienvenue, et à Katerina pour sa patience à écouter notre anglais plutôt défaillant. Nous gardons un excellent souvenir de ce séjour. Avec tous nos sincères remerciements. Brigitte et Georges

We had a great time at Myrto's Place! The loft is lovely, it's provided with everything you need and it's exactly like the pictures; the position is perfect to discover many beautiful beaches of West Crete. We liked so much the verandas and the colorful decorations! Maria was a wonderful host, she gave us many tips and she was very helpful and sweet; every day we found a little gift for us out of the door. We recommend this apartment to everyone who wants to spend vacation in Kissamos. Thank you Maria, you made our holidays perfect!! Elisa & Iacopo

My boyfriend and I stayed for 3 nights in this great apartment in a perfect location- 5 min walk to restaurants and beach. Everything was very clean and we enjoyed all the wonderful food treats we received each day especially the homemade lemon juice. The terraces are beautiful and a place to fully relax. It was easy to park the car outside and close reach to near by amazing beaches, balos and falasarna. Overall a really great place to stay, the only thing it missed was wifi - however nearly all nearby cafes have access so not a problem.

Lovely little apartment. Maria is a terrific host, full of advice on where to visit in the town and the surrounding neighbourhood. Everyday we came back to a sample of her delicious cooking. We so enjoyed the flat and the town we stayed an extra day. Kissamos is a proper little sea-side town, not too touristed but with everything you would need to have a relaxing beachside holiday.

The house ---- great traditional authentic Cretan house. Has an amazing terrace with view of the sea, where we had breakfast & dinner. It is very quiet during the night. The host --- I have stayed at many properties, Nantia took extra effort, welcomed us with some amazing traditional home made food and explained to us what to see & where to go. She made us feel like we were visiting family. I give the host 11 out of 10. The location --- it's interesting cause Kaliviani is a very small village, so it it very quiet, but there are 2-3 restaurants with good food and very reasonable prices that are within 5 minutes walking distance. The overall area --- we went to Falasarna beach, 15 mins drive. Big beach, not that many people, beautiful place. We did a trip to Chania and Rhetymnon, and esp. recommend the second. Chania was a bit less impressive, Rhetymnon we liked more. But it could be just our personal taste. Overall, I would definitely come back. The house, host & location are amazing. We had a rental car, which is a I think a must if you visit.

Situé à l'orée d'un petit village, la propriété est tranquille avec une vue magnifique sur le golfe. La piste qui vous emmène au lagon de Balos est à quelques centaines de mètres. La villa est aménagée avec goût et recherche dans ses moindres détails et parfaitement équipée. Cela a renforcé le sentiment d'avoir été "invité" chez des amis plutôt que d'avoir "loué" la maison. En arrivant, nous n'avons pas eu la présence d'esprit de glisser la clé dans l'endroit prévu pour rétablir l'électricité ... nous avons donc téléphoné et très rapidement, une personne a pris la peine de se déplacer depuis Chania pour nous aider; en gardant le sourire! En résumé, l'endroit est idéal pour qui souhaite un hâvre calme pour rayonner dans la pointe Est de l'ïle. Françoise et Jean-Noël. Avril 2013.

A wonderful experience in Greece! Thanks to the owners, we felt very welcome as soon as we stepped in the door. Since we got in late, she had made us a delicious homemade Greek dinner that would rival most restaurants. One of our favorite parts of our stay we're the outstanding restaurants just down the street. Our family would highly recommend this gorgeous home.

Wir wurden von Nantia bei unserer Ankunft bereits sehr sehr freundlich erwartet, sie hat sich sehr viel Zeit genommen uns alles rund ums Haus zu erklären, eine große Überraschung war das leckere Abendessen, das schon im Ofen bzw. im Kühlschrank stand - vielen vielen Dank, wir haben echte griechische Gastfreundschaft erlebt! Das Haus ist wunderschön und den Pool mit warmer Außendusche haben wir (zu 2 Familien / 8 Pers.) ständig genutzt. Trotz ein paar Regentage und stürmisch-sonnigem Wetter war der Urlaub perfekt. Wir würden sofort wiederkommen - zumal sich auch zwei der besten Restaurants der Gegend in Kalyviani befinden und zu Fuß in 1 Minute zu erreichen sind. Beste Grüße aus Wiesbaden, Susanne

Villa Patriko is absolutely a must if you want to visit West Crete. Perfectly located in a small local village, closest place to Balos and Falasarna beaches, the house is huge, fully equipped (all perfectly working), very clean, 2 terraces, pool, garden, wonderful view of Kissamos bay....we were 5 and there was still room for 2-3 more. But the real magic touch is Nantia, Elina's mother. Wonderful host, she waited us till 1am for checkin to be sure everything was ok welcoming us with a lot Cretan specialties food, plus she gave us a lot of suggestions about what to do and to see in the island.... really a nice and warm person, she really take care of us... We will be back, if you are a family or a group of friends looking for relax we strongly suggest Villa Patriko

Pictures do not do Villa Patriko justice! This is such a beautiful villa overlooking unobstructed mountains that sheep regularly graze, a great view of the water and is situated only a few steps from the village of Kalivani. Kalivani is a wonderful place to relax and unwind. There are 4 tavernas which serve great food and a coffee shop, all with friendly shop owners. Nantia went absolutely above and beyond, even going so far as arranging a gender reveal cake to be delivered upon arrival from a local bakery. This made for a memorable first night with our family. Nantia brought fresh flowers and treated us to a welcome basket full of local products (Raiki, wine, olive oil from their grove in Chania and much more) and a traditional Cretan meal. Nantia was always available for questions and sat down with us to provide extensive recommendations on things to do in the area. The villa was beautiful, comfortable, private, and situated perfectly in relation to the town of Kalivani and beautiful nearby sites. Our whole family (8 adults) had an amazing time, Nantia is the BEST host on airbnb and we all cannot wait to come back as soon as possible.

Villa Patriko is an incredible property with amazing view of the sea! We were greeted warmly and catered to throughout our stay (answering questions, booking tours, etc). The hosts even left us freshly made Greek salads and cake as well as a selection of alcohol. Restaurants around the property were excellent as well. If you're looking for a relaxing vacation for your family, this is the venue!

We stayed here from 20 till 27th of April and the only words to describe Elina's villa are: "ABSOLUTELY PERFERCT". There was a great amount af advantages of the house: it is situated in a very quite and picturesques place (Kaliviani village), the house is well equipped, clean, spacious and bright. I has a yard with pool, which is wonderful for children to play and for parents to have a rest on the sunbeds. All was very comfortable and useful for your stay here and of high quality. Nature which is all around just easily get in your life here and brings you peace and an absolute escape from all your day-to-day problems: fresh wind from the sea (which is near here and can be seen from the yard and terraces), birds, flowers, sun, sky, sheep, all these vews, sounds and smells are very beautiful! and nothing to say say about the hospitality of Elina and her parents!! We were met very kind and warm! A lot of delicious dish were left for us in the fridge, and they also gave us very helpful and useful advice where to go and what to see! So... I will highly recommend you this villa if you go with your family or if you want to spend some time with beloved one. We will come back here for sure!

It has been our first experience with Airbnb and we agree 100% with Xrisa's and Petros' previous guests: The apartment had everything we needed during our stay, was very clean and a good starting point for several trips we made with the KTEL bus service. We could easily walk to the beach (great restaurants) and Kissamos center (nice local shops and a big ΣΥΝ.ΚA supermarket) within 10 minutes. We enjoyed the roof-top terrace very much during breakfast and after coming back from our trips. But the best thing was our hosts' hospitality! :-) Highly recommended!

L'appartamento è molto confortevole e dotato di tutto quello che serve anche per un soggiorno prolungato, noi ci siamo fermati solo due giorni ma avremmo voluto stare di più grazie alla gentilezza fuori dal comune di Xrisa che davvero si prodiga in tutti i modi per farti sentire un ospite speciale. Molto bello lo spazio sul terrazzo dove si può cenare o rilassarsi.

Ottimo appartamento a Kissamos. Io e la mia famiglia (2 adulti + 2 Bambini) siamo stati a Creta a Luglio 2017. La posizione (Kissamos) è stata un'ottima scelta in quanto la cittadina offre tutti i servizi essenziali, vari supermercati, ristoranti e bar, farmacia etc, ma soprattutto si è rivelato un ottimo punto di partenza per visitare le bellissime spiagge della regione di Hania, in particolare Balos (20/25 min), Elafonissi (50 min) e Falassarna (15 min), dove siamo stati più e più volte. Inoltre abbiamo raggiunto anche le spiagge della penisola dell’Akrotiri, come Marathi e visitato la città di Chania, (massimo 1 ora). L'appartamento è veramente delizioso: spazioso, arredato in modo accurato, accogliente, molto pulito e con tutto il necessario (sia di elettrodomestici che di accessori per cucinare, oltre alla biancheria per la casa completa). La terrazza esterna offre la possibilità di rilassarsi e cenare fuori. Aria condizionata e zanzariere completano in modo perfetto l'appartamento. Inoltre i proprietari vivono al piano sottostante, quindi se c’è bisogno di chiedere qualcosa è semplicissimo. Adesso vorrei spendere due parole per Xrisa (proprietaria dell'appartamento) e il marito Petros: sono delle persone molto disponibili, gentili, estremamente accoglienti e premurose. Al nostro arrivo, oltre a farci trovare dell’acqua in fresco e alcune specialità locali, ci hanno accolto con semplicità e ci hanno fatto sentire come a casa nostra e quasi della famiglia, pur rispettando in modo perfetto la nostra privacy. Vorrei dire un grazie speciale a Xrisa per averci permesso di vivere questo periodo di vacanza nel modo migliore, questo da parte mia, mia moglie e i miei figli. PAOLO

Appartamento bellissimo, nuovo tutto ristrutturato. Ampi spazi ottimo per quattro persone Ambiente ordinato, pulito e dotato di tutti i comfort (lenzuola, asciugamani, stoviglie ecc) Posizione abbastanza comoda anche se si trova su una salita. Se si vuole andare al mare a piedi bisogna fare un pezzettino a piedi, circa 10 minuti. Non lontano dal centro (anche se non vi è moltissima vita per quello che abbiamo potuto notare noi), vicinanza a negozi market ecc Xrisa è una persona davvero gentile, al nostro arrivo ci ha preparato una buonissima torta. È disponibile e abita proprio al piano di sotto per qualsiasi evenienza Appartamento e host consigliatissimo!

I have been using Airbnb for some years, but this one was absolutely the best experience so far I had: apartment is brand new, in a quite part of Kissamos but still central, clean in every spots, very spacious and calm. Dining on the terrace while looking at the sea is an amazing experience. Above all, Xrisa and Petros and all the members of their big family have been amazing hosts in any single details: they let us feel home even thousand kilometers in a distance. I recommend this apartment to everybody wishing to visit Crete.

We stayed one night and enjoyed a lot at the flat. Xrisa was very nice and helpfull. Thanks again for the watermelon and the kind welcome. I would definitely recomend!

A beatifull place to be... the appartement, kissamos its close to the best beachs of creta. The appartement very clean, relax and confortable!!!. :)))

Host fantastica e disponibile. Tutte le sere ci ha deliziato con piatti tipici locali. La casa localizzata in una zona tranquilla è a due passi dal centro di kissamos. È molto carina e accessoriata di tutto, compreso un bel terrazzo dove è molto piacevole cenare o rilassarsi sui lettini. Consigliata vivamente.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour à Kissamos. L'emplacement du logement est idéal pour se rendre à Chania, Balos ou encore Elafonissi. Le logement est parfait pour 2 ou 3 voyageurs. L'appartement est bien équipé (frigo, machine à laver...) et propre. Les deux points forts sont la très grande terrasse avec vue panoramique sur la région et l'excellent accueil crétois de Dimitra et Despina. Merci encore pour toute la nourriture, sucrée et salée, offerte matin et soir. C'était excellent! We experienced the greatest and warmest Cretan welcome here thanks to our amazing and lovely hosts Despina & Dimitra. Thank you so much for your hospitality and the delicious food. Lovely apartment and fantastic terrace.

Un petit studio charmant avec une immense terrasse avec vue sur la mer et les champs en friche autours. Ravissant! Despina est d'une grande gentillesse et est aux petits soins durant tout le séjour. Merci Dimitra pour ton acceuil et ton cadeau. Je recommande.

Our stay at Dimitra's and her wonderful co-host Despoina's place was great in many ways. The apartment was exactly as shown on the pictures and very clean and cozy. The location of the place is also super convenient. It is a short distance walk to the beach, seaside promenade and town center. It is quiet and with its roof terrace it offers a beautiful view across the sea. Although it does not offer a fully equipped kitchen, a proper refrigerator, toaster, kettle an everything you need in terms of plates, glasses, etc. is provided. The best thing however is the immense hospitality and attention that Dimitra and Despoina are offering their guests. Every morning a small breakfast surprise awaited us in front of the door. Towels for the beach, sun umbrella, good tips where to go, washing powder.... everything was thought of by the hosts. Since a sink for washing dishes was missing, we could just put the dishes in front of the door and everything was clean and ready by the time we returned home in the evenings. All in all we had a truly wonderful stay and experienced hospitality we will remember for long!

Dimitra et Despina sont des hôtes extraordinaires, d'une générosité immense et toujours à l'écoute. La grande terrasse avec vue sur mer est un petit coin de paradis! Et que dire des petits plats préparés par Despina, un vrai délice!! Nous y retournerons sans hésiter!

Le meilleur logement que nous avons fait lors de notre voyage en Crète. Dimitra et Despina ont été particulièrement accueillantes et nous ont avec une multitude de petites attentions. Nous avons été accueilli par un large plateau de pâtisseries maisons, une assiette remplie de fruits frais et un assortiment de boissons variées. La terrasse sur le toit est vraiment agréable pour prendre le petit déjeuner ou pour voir le soleil se coucher. Le studio était très propre et très agréable et si vous êtes motorisés il est parfait pour découvrir la plage d'Elafonissi, et le lagon de Balos. Je recommande vraiment ce logement et ces hôtes.

Comment dire ? C'était merveilleux. Le studio est propre, neuf et bien décoré et la grande terrasse qui l'accompagne est très agréable pour les petits déjeuners ou les dîners. Dimitra est très réactive et répondra à toutes vos questions, et Despoina est une crème ! Elle a réellement été aux petits soins pour nous, a vérifier que nous ne manquions de rien, et sans parler des petites attentions régulières (gâteau, fruits, déjeuner... s the best Airbnb you could find in Crete!

Despina and Dimitra are awesome hosts, just one of the bests we met. Very helpful, kind, friendly and positive. They helped us with all of the questions we had in the city. Despina's breakfasts were another story. Just great! And of course we enjoyed beautiful terrace. Highly recommended place. Definitely we will visit them again.

Once I arrived Dimitra and Despina told me there was a damp problem in the room that appeared just the day before my arrival. However they said they are going to fix it. D&D really take care of the guests and they provided attentions and spoiled me with fresh fruit and handmade breakfast. Highly recommended if you wanna feel like at home.

Alexandros is a super host ! We had such a great time in his cosy place. The appartement was super clean, huge, fresh bed and laundry! Alexandros was really welcoming with us and we highly recommend! this place! Close to the appartement there is a lot of shops, restaurants and we took our breakfast front of the beach on the terrace of the appartement every morning ;) super beach to swim too ! Thanks again Alexandros we look forward to come back again !!

The heart of Kissamos is absolutely the right description for Alexi's apartment. The lovely and well equipped apartment is located in the old town of Kissamos, directly at supermarkets, bakery, taverns. The local beach is reachable within 5 Minutes by walking. Alexis is a wonderful host. It was a pleasure for us to meat him and his family. All the great beaches in the region are reachable by car within about 1h. We enjoyed our holiday very much and hope to see Alexis again. Thank you very much. Stefan and Theresa

Alexandros was amazing. He was really friendly, helpful, toughtful and accommodating. The apartment was REALLY nice, even nicer than on the pictures! I strongly recommend Alexandros' place and will definitely stay there next time I visit Kissamos! Thanks so much for everything!

Nice apartment, very close to the city center.

Casa pulita e ben attrezzata. Aria condizionata funzionante, bel balcone con vista mare. Kissamos non è una grande meta turistica ma con sola mezz'ora di macchina si arriva facilmente alle magiche Balos e Falassarna. Nikos e la moglie sono stati gentilissimi in tutto, consigliandoci anche dove andare a cena e a colazione.

It was a pleasure staying with Nikos. Nikos and his family were such lovable, caring and kind people. They welcomed us in Kissamos in such a hospitable way. They made us feel like coming home. The apartment had everything that you need. Hope to see them again, Thanks a lot.

Staying at Nikos's place, even though only for one night, was a pleasure: the flat is clean, the view from the terrace is really nice and Anastasia (Nikos's wife) is a wonderful host! Perfect for those who want to visit Kissamos and the surroundings.

Appartement très bien situé à deux pas de la plage et juste au niveau d'une petit place L'appartement était spacieux et propre

Bella casa, moderna, in posizione strategica anche per chi è senza auto, vicino stazione bus. Nikos e sua moglie gentilissimi accoglienti e disponibilissimi per affrancarsi da ogni difficoltà di viaggio. Ringraziamo per il benvenuto di accoglienza con frutta e cibo greco

Bon séjour à kissamos. Accueil chaleureux et attentionné (plats préparés). Nikos et sa femme nous ont présenté ce qu'il y avait à faire aux alentours de kissamos. Ils sont très disponibles. Appartement spacieux et fonctionnel. Proche de la plage, supermarché juste à côté.

We had a lovely stay at the flat: it was exactly as described, if not, better! The hosts made us feel very welcome and even gave us a taste of lovely local food and many recommendations for local fresh food and beach. The flat has the the anemnities you need and is just a 5 minute walk to the beach.

The apartment is brand new, modern and super equipped. It is comfortable and both terraces are spacious. It is near a large and new supermarket and within walking distance of the well-equipped beaches. Nikos and his wife were kind and helpful. They provided us with various logistic information and provided with typical drinks and foods. The holiday was really a dream.

A great place to stay and visit elofonisi, balos and much more Clean, new apartment really nice

Ce sont sûrement les hôtes les plus chaleureux que nous ayons rencontrés, à nos yeux ils reflètent bien l'esprit airbnb. La femme de Nikos nous a accueillis et nous a même proposé un déjeuner sur le pouce ! Un lit bébé a été mis à disposition. L'appartement est spacieux et dispose de deux balcons. Très bien positionné à Kissamos, pas loin des tavernes à pieds, de la plage et du supermarché. Tout les ingrédients nécessaires pour passer un bon séjour. Idéalement situé pour visiter l'ouest de la Crête. Nos hôtes ont pris leur temps et ont été de bons conseils, nous avons été plus qu'enchanté d'avoir rencontré cette famille et leurs petites filles. Nous recommandons vivement cet appartement et surtout les hôtes qui ont contribué à faire que notre séjour soit inoubliable. Merci encore pour tout.

Non potevamo trovare di meglio. Nikos e sua moglie molto gentili e disponibili. Al nostro arrivo ci hanno fatto trovare la cena con bottiglia di vino. Appartamento perfetto, pulito molto carino, bagno con cabina doccia ed arredato con gusto. Inoltre ogni tre giorni ci cambiavano la biancheria e ci lasciavano sempre qualcosa da mangiare.....possiamo solo ringraziarli per la loro accoglienza calda e sincera. La posizione dell'appartamento è strategica, vicino alle spiagge più belle di Creta: Elafonisi, Falassarma e Balos. Se dovessimo ritornare a Kissamos, senz'altro andremo da loro. Sandra e Riccardo

The house is located in Kissamos, a village close to the famous beach of Falasarna (15 mins by car). The town is full of little and nice restaurants on the seaside, while the house is conveniently located 50 meters from a large supermarket. By car you can reach the beautiful beaches of Balos and Elafonisi in 45 mins and 1 hour, respectively. The apartment is on the first floor of the building and looks totally like the pictures posted on the website. It was provided with all that we needed for our stay (e.g. towels, hair-dryer, bed-lining, shampoo and soaps, washing machine, dishes, ...), there was even a beach umbrella! Everything was very nice, clean and tidy. The hosts, Nikos and his wife, were amazing: on our arrival they prepared us some typical Greek food, like moussaka and greek salad, as well as rice-stuffed vegetables and cake on some other days. On our arrival they provided us with many information regarding dining, sightseeing and many more. Check-in and check-out were easy. Thanks Nikos for the nice experience!

Het huis ligt op en perfecte lokatie in een prachtige baai. Voor 4 volwassenen vind ik de ruimte wat klein verder heeft het huisje alles wat je nodig hebt. Er zijn genoeg gezellige en lekkere eettentjes in de buurt. We hebben er een zeer aangename vakantie gehad.

We could not have found a better place to stay for our 4 days in Crete. The little house was lovely, clean, rustic, beautifully situated and pretty. This was spring before the tourists so we had the beaches to ourselves, but I can imagine that it is perfect at any time of year. Paradise for the children, yet I know it would be so romantic for just 2! Thank you George and Elina, you were great hosts and made us feel welcome, also you made the place feel like our own when you left us with it. We would love to visit again, James, Katie, Henry and Mary

The apartment is located in perfect location, right at the beach. It's a spacious apartment, ideal for 2 people, but it could easily accomodate 2 more. We (me and my wife) stayed here for 3 nights and it was realy cosy and well equiped with all the necessary things you need for living (although we didn't cook, we used nearby tavernas). Elina, the host, was really helpful and super responsive, she even provided the electric heater, because the nights were getting chilly. The fenced garden is arranged with care, especially the fig trees with their sweet fruits :) The only shame is, that we weren't there for a longer period and that we could enjoy it even more. The beach in Falasarna is among the best we visited in Crete, and can easily compete with (nearby) Elafonisi or Balos. We would definitely like to return here in the future.

We (two adults and two children) had a fantastic time at the Sea House. It is a truely perfect spot. Everything is superclean and cosy!! We will definetly go back!!!! Elina and Georgos, thank you so much for the wonderful holiday!!!

Merveilleux séjour avec notre petit garçon de 3 ans dans cette maisonnette. Une vue splendide et le seul bruit des vagues et des oiseaux. La maison est entièrement équipée, un restaurant juste derrière qui est excellent ainsi qu'une petite boutique pour dépannage. La plage et l'eau claire sont au rendez vous ainsi que le soleil. Elina et Georges sont des hôtes parfaits, très soucieux de notre bien être. Toujours prêts a nous conseiller un restaurant, une boutique. Bien envie de garder ce petit coin rien que pour nous.

The Falassarna house is simply beautiful. The house is very well equipped and clean. We ate out every night (don't expect a big stove in the house, you cannot make a 4 course dinner ;), but there are more than enough pots&pans). One of the best and nicest restaurants/taverna's (with a great view) where we have eaten during the week is right behind the house; really conveniant! And the garden is so very near the sea! It is lovely for relaxing and sunbathing while looking at the water. In the surrounding area near the house are nice sandy beaches and also some more rocky shores. Also perfect for children. We rented a car and drove all over West-Crete: to the north-west near Gramvousa, through the orange and olive groves, to the south to Elafonissi (such a nice coastal road to the south!!). You shouldn't miss those places! Our stay was in the 2nd/3rd week of April. The season had not yet started, so it was very peaceful. Most taverna's where closed though. But the nature is at its best, without sunbeds and crowds. And so very green and full of flowers, amazing. The seawater temperature was a bit cold of course, but just go for it (the local people swim the whole year they say)! Thanks for the great stay!

Elina and Georgiu are the most friendly people. We just had two wonderfull weeks in their house. We ll definitely come back next year.

The Falassarna house is perfect! Great located,well equipped. Elina and George are very nice and helpfull. I would love to come back there!!

After our days on holidays in Crete we were very lucky for booking this place... from there you have easy and closer access to the west beaches of Crete like Falassarna, Balos, etc. "φιλοξενία" (Filoxenia) is a beautiful Greek word meaning hospitality and we felt it from the arrival day in this place! Thanks for all the small surprises we got coming back at the end of the day on the table or on the fridge... it was similar excitement when you are a little kid and you want to know what is going to happen! Decoration, furniture, kitchen tools were superb and beautiful chosen for this ideal place. AC super and wifi also worked great! Really highly recommended for some relaxed days in this area! Efxaristo! Gracias!

endroit charmant, bien situé, propriétaire chaleureux et accueil par Niki très agréable. on a adoré la gentillesse , le petit déjeuner, l'emplacement pour Balos par exemple. lieu confortable, calme et agréable. en plus il ne manque rien.

Το ΣΠΙΤΙ ηταν πολύ ομορφο, καινούργιο και Πόλυ καθαρό. Ηταν ευρύχωρο κ είχε όλες τις παροχές για ο, τιδηποτε μπορει να χρειαστείς στις διακοπές(κουζίνα πλήρως εξοπλισμένη, Ντουζ στην άυλη, παρκιγκ, άνετο στρωμα). Η τοποθεσία είναι πολύ βολική αν κανεις θέλει να δει τις πιο γνώστες παράλιες των Χανίων. Η επικοινωνια μας με την ιδιοκτητρια και η παροχή πληροφοριών ηταν αψογη.! Ευχάριστη έκπληξη ηταν η παροχή φρέσκων προιοντων απο τον κήπο της ιδιοκτήτριας καθώς κ διάφορα τοπικά εδέσματα που βρήκαμε στο ΣΠΙΤΙ ΟΛΑ Πόλυ νόστιμα και σπιτικά. Ευχαριτούμε Πόλυ!

This place is outstanding! Starting with Niki, a sweet girl who was kind enough to met us very late. To the home, which is even more beautiful than it looks in the photos! All small decoration details make you feel incredibly cozy. You will have everything you need, even if you need to cook or wash clothing. And the location is perfect if you are aiming for the beach and trekking. It's pretty close to Balos, Falassarna and Sfinari beaches and on the way to Samaria gorge. We loved it so much that we even tried to extend our stay but unfortunately it was already booked. I guess we just need to go there again! We fully recommend!

The house was excellent! It is modern and comfortable with the stone house style. The place is surrounded by olive trees and has a splendid sky full of stars at night. The place is near a village with great restaurants and live music. It also has a good access to the road which takes to the beaches on West coast. As basically everywhere you go in Crete, a car is a must. Niki met us in the city centre and drove us to the house. After, she gave us a great introduction of the facilities and even recommended a beach which was not in our guidebook. If you plan to have a great time in the west of Crete, that is highly recommended :)

The host canceled this reservation 24 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

If you prefer to feel silence and to visit the most interesting non-touristic places- so you have to stay in this house. This is a very beautiful and clean place with all necessary things inside. There are many olive trees and vine around that place, and it's a pleasure to be on the open air at night to see many stars) thank you dear owners, you are good people)

Daskalaki's apartment was exactly as described. Very clean and tidy, with everything that you need to enjoy your stay. I would definitely stay here again. The host is very friendly and made us some great little presents which was very thoughtful. This apartment has everything you need for your stay in Crete.

L'appartement était propre et l'hote acceuillant. La plage est juste à côté.

Lovely bedroom apartment, very clean, with an amazing view of Falassarna beach. Athanasios was very welcoming and happy to help at all times (He also teached us abit of the Greek language to get us by!) I highly recommend!!

Wonderful place, very special for eyes and for heart.

beautiful view but not a pleasant studio, very noisy, bad wifi, no hot water the morning, no good communication.

L'alloggio di Athanasios è proprio come appare negli annunci: dal balcone si gode un meraviglioso panorama sul golfo di Falasarna, e l'appartamento è dotato di tutto ciò che serve. Athanasios è stato gentile, ci ha aiutato anche con le operazioni di check in. Il soggiorno purtroppo è stato brevissimo e non abbiamo potuto sperimentare la taverna, peccato! Da consigliare.

Excellent location for those wanting to visit the ruins of Falassarna and the quieter part of the beach, on foot.

Strategic position in Kissamos.

The place is of a quality that will be difficult to find in your searches. Kissamos itself is a perfect location to layback and enjoy and Alexandros will make sure he fills his part of the bargain! Peter

Es ist einfach zu empfehlen. Alexandros ist ein sehr herzlicher Gastgeber und die Wohnung ist modern und dennoch sehr gemütlich. Man ist super schnell am schönen Hafen und Richtung Balos Beach gefahren. Ich würde auch 6 Sterne geben, wenn es das gäbe

Alexandros was a wonderful host, who really care about the well-being of his guest!the apartment was perfect, really clean, beautiful, the kitchen was with all the utilities! The apartment is really close a beautiful place with restaurants and shops,and also to the beach!!I recommend it warmly!thank you for everything Alexandros!

Ο χώρος ήταν εξαιρετικός. Είχε όλα όσα θέλει ένα ζευγάρι για μια ευχάριστη διαμονή

The apartment is newly renovated, super clean, and extremely well placed if you are interested in spending some time exploring Kissamos and the surroundings! Highly recommended for anyone. Thank you so much for hosting us! :-)

We spend 4 great day's here. We liked it much. It's very cosy, clean, comfort apartment with big balcony in the shade of the sun for all day. Maria and her mother Eleni met us with all greek hospitality. I hope to return someday!

All was perfect! The flat clean and big even for six. Warm welcome including the sweets baked by Maria's mother. Thank you!

Home sweet home! Even though we only stayed three nights at the house in Falassarna we truly (EMAIL HIDDEN)munication up to the stay was easy and Maria responded quickly when we had a question. You can easily find the house with (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Maps even though it's located in a smaller village in western crete. When we arrived we were greeted by Stelios (Marias brother) and their mother also with a full supplement of delicious sweets (muffins & cookies), fruits and water and even a bottle of white wine and Raki! The welcome they showed us was amazing, we were completely in love with them right from the start. Maria's grandmother is living on the bottom floor with a seperate entrance. She greeted us nicely as well but unfortunately she only speaks greek so we could not understand her. Falassarna is a nice beach nearby where you can also do some watersports like jetski. The famous beach of Elafonissi is reachable by car but about 50 km down south. The close area has many taverns with a typical display of the wonderful greek hospitality. The house is outfitted like a real home and has everything you could possibly ask for. It was very tidy, clean and with a great sense of detail & care put into even the smallest item. Wi-Fi quality was fantastic, best we had on our trip. We couldn't recommend a stay at Maria's house any more! Our only regret was that we did not stay longer and did not have a chance to meet Maria personally to thank her for the perfectly organised accomodation.

Merci maria pour ton superbe accueille, la maison est top top climatisation,haut débit internet,les 3 chambres superbes et sans parler de ta maman qui nous a préparer des super petits plats .maison a recommander a 4 minutes de falasarna beach et 10 min de kissamos.mes enfants sont ravis des petites attentions préparées pour eux big kisssss

We had a pleasant stay in the village of Platanos. Maria and her mother welcomed us very well. The house is very beautiful and functional. Maria's mother cooked us a traditional Cretan dish. That was delicious. Everything was perfect.

Το σπίτι είναι καλύτερο από την περιγραφή ιδανικό για ήσυχες και ξεκούραστες διακοπές.Σε ένα μικρό χωριό που δεν λείπει τίποτα.Μόνο 6 λεπτά με το αυτοκίνητο από την παραλία Φαλάσαρνα και από παραδοσιακές κρητικες ταβέρνες.Η φιλοξενεία και η επικοινωνία με την Κα Ελένη άψογη.Μας υποδέχτηκε με τοπικά προϊόντα και λιχουδιές και μας αποχαιρέτησε με δώρα και μια ζέστη ευχή για καλό χειμώνα.Θα πήγαινα ξανά σίγουρα και το προτείνω ανεπιφύλακτα σε όσους θέλουν ξεκούραστες οικογενειακές διακοπές.

Where to start. First of all, Maria and her family are really nice. They are incredibly hospitable and helped us when the toilet flush broke down, and always when we needed something or had questions. They were always there for us, they brought food with them and there were biscuits and chocolate on the tables to greet us. The beds are lovingly decorated, everything is super clean and really nice. The apartment has a very good equipment from the kitchen to the air conditioning. It's all there and complete! The apartment is situated in a village, in a quiet location. There are some parking lots in front of the door. Nearby there are 2 shopping facilities (mini-market) and restaurants. We recommend "Zacharias". The owner grows his own vegetables, the chickens come from his parents, generally everything is local and tastes delicious. There are also beautiful beaches nearby, with leeches behind stones or great sunbathing spots in the sand. There are also cafés and restaurants. Loungers and umbrellas can also be rented, including showers. But there are also lonelier spots on the water. The big sandy beach was never full with us, we felt very comfortable there. From the apartment you can also drive by car to the attractions "Balos Beach" (above) and "Elafonissi" (below). The town of Kissamos is also not far away, there are large supermarkets with fresh food counters. There are bakers and fruit and vegetable traders. The mountains are not far from the apartment. The apartment is well located and is simply a dream - the view from the terrace to the village, the mountains and the sea - we want to go back. We were super happy and we think it's a pity that our holiday is over again. A big thank you to our hosts and we hope to see you again! Keep up the good work Greetings from Germany Andreas :)

Our 6 nights spent at the apartment were awesome! You will find everything you need in the apartment. And I mean EVERYTHING! Attention to details Maria put in the apartment is top notch. Atmosphere in the apartment is really cozy and feels like at home. Very friendly grandma brought us some local food everyday along with a happy smile. Aircondition in every room, internet speed was great. Would recommend it to everyone wanting to explore western part of Crete, because it is on super location if u want to stretch your sightseeing from Balos to Elafonisi. Hope we will visit again

It is THE place to stay while having holiday on Crete! Tina welcomed us with with a splendid traditional food and drink :) which was more then plenty for four of us. House was perfectly clean and was keep that way throughout our whole 7 days stay. This place has everything that is needed - exactly as in description. We enjoyed breakfasts outside on the balcony and in the evenings if we didn't go to restaurant we had perfect time in the garden drinking wine and watching stars. Sunsets and sunrises are both visible from bedroom balconies - don't forget to contemplate them while staying in this magic place. Tina helped us with making some decisions concerning places to visit - it was very helpful while our knowledge about the Island based only on tourist guides and some bloggers opinions. Car or moped (at least 125cc) is essential to freely enjoy the Island. Our favorite beach was Fallasarna - closest one if we consider the main Crete beaches. Good, sandy access to water, interesting underwater rock bed -if you are into snorkeling, nice restaurants and parkings. Best thing was the house and swimming pool illumination which works automatically after dark.

The villa is located among an olive forest and is cleverly designed for everything one might need on vacation: sleeping, taking breakfasts with seaview and sunbathing by the pool. Our host Tina was simply great, she welcomed us with a spinach pie and was invisibly taking care of us throughout our stay. The town of Kissamos is in a 5 min drive from the hill. We loved hiking at Topolia gorge, Elafonissi and Falassarna beaches. Balos was a bit of a challenge to drive, but well worth it. As for the restaurants, our personal tops are "Limani" at the port and "Gramvousa" in Kaliviani village.

We had a wonderful stay at Tina's villa. The views of the sea were spectacular. The villa itself was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Tina very kindly left us plenty of food and drinks which meant we didn't need to rush straight to the shops when we arrived. The town of Kissamos was about five minutes' drive and it had plenty of shops and restaurants, without being too busy or full of tourists. Falasarna beach was about 30 minutes' drive and was the most beautiful beach we had ever seen. It took us about 45 minutes to drive from the airport so it was very convenient. Thank you Tina for a wonderful stay - we would love to come back if we return to Crete.

Tina is a warm, kind and generous host who couldn't have done more to help and make us feel at home. Tina greeted us warmly on arrival, showed us everything about the house and garden / pool. She had given us a big plate of fruit and cold drinks in the fridge and her mother had baked some delicious savoury pies. Later in our stay we were treated to some more of her mother's wonderful cooking. The house was exactly as described - comfortable with everything you could want, and of high quality. It was extremely clean and Tina and Eleni (with a little help from the visiting "pool boy" relative on one occasion) kept it that way with daily visits. Tina suggested places to visit - we really would recommend a car to be able to take full advantage of the area's attractions, even though lazing by the pool is a very good option. When we had a problem with our hire car, Tina helped with the arrangements by speaking to the hire car company. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tina and her houses.

Fabulous villa with beautiful view: a real gem

ruhige Lage mit tollem Ausblick

Tina and Eleni made it the best AirBnB experience I ever had. It was not just a vacation at some place, but more like a vacation with good friends :) At the evening when we arrived they even cooked a Greek meal for us and left fresh fruits and some drinks for us in the fridge so we don't need to go grocery shopping as a first step. The house is a beautiful Greek stone house which is perfectly clean. Tina and Eleni even came around and changed the bed sheets and towels during our stay. The house has a great backyard with a pool and a beautiful view over the olive trees to the ocean. The house also has a stone BBQ spot which we used quiet a lot. There are almost no houses around and it's a very quiet place, so you need a car and should also like to drive to discover Crete. The house has two bedrooms with double beds and 2 balconies with ocean view, same as from the terrace. They always had tips for us on what to do and we enjoyed it a lot to meet them in the evening for a drink from time to time, since they live nearby. Whenever we needed something, a view minutes later it was done :) The location is great to see all of the most important things like the Samaria gorge, Falasarna, Balos beach or Elafonisi. I loved that we were in such a quiet place in the mountains and still only needed 5 minutes down to Kastelli where the next supermarkets are. In total Tina and Eleni cared so much about everything and made our trip a perfect vacation. We are already planning the next trip to this little peace of heaven :)

A perfect place to rest and enjoy western Crète. I would warmly recommend Tina's place. Tina was a perfect host! She and her friend welcomed us very late and met us in Kissamos so we could find the house very easily. They had cooked a cheese pie for us for dinner and we had lots of fruit, water, fruit juice... She also made sure everything was great for our 10-month-old baby boy. She provided us with a cot and a high chair. We had to see the doctor for him and she gave us an excellent pediatrician's phone number and address, she could even help us translate things for the doctor if we needed to. She was always available and when we had a power cut one evening she came immediately to sort it out. As for the house, it was perfect, extremely clean and cosy. We felt like home. Very nice views on the sea from the living room and the bedrooms with balconies. We enjoyed the terrace with all its olive trees but it was unfortunately not sunny and warm enough to dive in the pool but it looked nice. Perfect place to rest among fields of olive trees with view on the sea. We'll definitely come back!! Thanks again Tina!

To access the house you have to walk through niki's family garden, but it is very clean and people are really really nice! Kissamos is a little city but the house is at 10 min walk from the center

We had a wonderful time with our 5 year old daughter in Despina's place. The owners are great and warmhearted people. They were able to discover the typical and delicious food from the area that Despina cooked for us! The location is nicely furbished with attention to detail and the hosts very pleasant. We used the terrace to rest and have dinner. The area has a nice and calm neighbourhood. the beach is very very near and just beautiful! thanks Nikki and Despina for this smooth airbnb experience!

We decided to stay with Niki in Kissamos because of its location to the ferry port serving Kythira where we were bound for the second part of our holiday. However, we soon found we loved this charming little town from the moment we arrived when Niki met us at the bus stop. Niki's studio suited us perfectly and we felt comfortable as soon we stepped into it. The kitchen/diner had everything we would need should we decide to cook or relax, including a TV. What we loved most about staying with Niki and her family was their wonderful warm hospitality and invaluable help and generosity with finding the best beaches, information about the buses and anything you wanted to know. They also helped us in trying to get information from the notoriously unreliable ferry company. The location was excellent. Just a short walk to the beach, bus stop and supermarket. The old town is about a five minute walk where you can find a nice local atmosphere. We were lucky enough to come across a local festival with the youngsters dancing in their traditional costumes and where drinks and local celebratory pastries were offered to us, too. We would definitely go back to Niki and her family's home when we go back to Kissamos and we recommend you do, too.

Niki's apartment is a nice dependance of her family house, it is spacious, well furnished and with a very nice patio to have some good relax after the beach We have been welcomed with some delicious home made typical food and during the week she or her mother offered us some more tasty dishes. She and the family were very warm to us during our stay. Shops, restaurant and Kissamos beach are all with 300m from the house and the location is perfect to visit all the best beaches in the west side like Balos, Falassarna, Elafonissi and more. The apartment is perfect for families and couples, we fully recommend it.

Lovely house, bad wifi though. Good location close to shops and beach. Wonderful host!!

Niki and family are great host and very warm and welcoming they helped us to taste all the local cuisine. We would definitely stay again

Nikis Family made us feel very welcome. The house was very clean and comfortable and everyone was really nice. We enjoyed our stay very much and would always come back!

Casa funzionale e pulita. Si trova all'interno della loro villetta. La posizione è ottima per raggiungere le spiagge più belle. Niki e la sua famiglia sono molto ospitali. La mamma ci ha fatto assaggiare la sua cucina ed era veramente buona!

Ottima scelta. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.

Place was fine as expected very clean in a quiet area with a nice view and free use of a very clean pool.. friendy stuff always smilling. Also the price includes breakfast. Best Value for money accomodation.

I love the place

The beauty of the furnishings (seen in photographs) and the comfort with the center of Kissamos with restaurants and shops are nothing compared to the warmth reserved for our arrival. The apartment is perfect equipped with every accessory you need, impeccably cleaned exactly as you expect, but the personal touch of Katerina and his family makes the difference. We were greeted with the best smiles and the best cheer and pampered with a real full dinner at the Cretan style ... really delicious! We will never forget the pleasant feeling of being at home. I recommend to all to stay at Katerina's home!

Accueil parfait avec repas, Logement neuf et près d'une plage. Un peu proche de la route principale mais fenêtre fermé on entend rien. Personne très gentille

My wife and I stayed in the Efrilias apartment n. 2 for five days. We had a very pleasant stay for many reasons. First of all the hospitality of Katerina and her aunt Tulla. They were very kind and caring with us. In the refrigerator, at our arrival, we found some drinks, a big greek salad and other typical greek food. Then in the next day Katerina prepared for us the “ moussaka” dish, another greek salad and some other exquisite greek specialties The second reason is the apartment. Of course it isn’t big, but is very comfortable, new and very clean. Bear in mind that you probably will spend all the day on some beach or visiting some historical places. And than when you will come back you find a very comfortable place when you can eat some simple dishes, stay in relax and rest. The third reason is the position. It’s near to the beaches of Kissamos and about 1 km far from the Kissamos center. A big supermarket is at about 300 meters from the apartment. Furthermore, the Efrilias apartments are at about 12 km from Falassarna and Balos beaches. So, if I will return to the Crete island in the future, I will book the Efrilias apartment.

Katerina is a very kind and friendly person. She was very helpful. The hospitality was very good. Her appartment was very clean and cozy!! Perfect for us!! Katerina cooked for us delicious traditional Cretan food like moussaka, greek salad. etc. The position of the appartment was very good near the centre of Kissamos and near the best beaches of Crete! We want to recommend this appartment. We spend amazing holidays! We would like to come back in Katerina's appartment next year!! SUPER!!

Thank you Katerina and your family! You are very kind and nice people! Everything was amazing! Room was beautiful, with perfect terrace and our son loves your garden :) We also thank for a nice surprise that was waiting for us in the fridge - Delicious Greek salads. We had amazing holiday.

Perfect stay, we recommend. Nous avons été ravis du logement propre, acceuillant et complètement neuf. La résidence est calme, et les hôtes aux petits soins. Nous avons été gâtés avec des denrées locales dans le frigo à notre arrivée, mais aussi pendant notre séjour, Katerina est venue nous apporter à manger, local et fait maison, les 2 soirs où nous étions présents. Toujours présents si nous avions besoin, sans être intrusifs, nous avons été touchés par leur gentillesse. Le logement comprend tout le nécessaire, y compris l'anti-moustique, les petits savons, la cafetière, le parasol sur la terrasse (avec un gazon très agréable)... Le lieu est calme, assez proche du centre ville et à 5 minutes à pied de la plage de Kissamos. Nous recommandons vivement ! Rapport qualité-prix très intéressant.

Katerina è molto ospitale e risponde prontamente ad ogni esigenza e necessità. Buoni i biscotti e i dolcetti di benvenuto. La stanza è grande e presenta aria condizionata. Vicino si possono raggiungere la bellissima spiaggia di Balos e Falassarna. Ad un'ora troverete la bellissima spiaggia di Elafonissi. Nelle vicinanze consiglio le taverne lungo la strada per Balos molto tipiche e caratteristiche in cui si mangia molto bene. Consigliatissimo.

Très bon séjour, l'appartement est conforme aux photos, très propre, neuf, moderne et agréable ! Jolie terasse donnant sur un jolie jardin ! Lit assez grand et confortable, serviettes et produit sdb fournis ! Katerina et sa famille sont vraiment très accueillants et gentil avec beaucoup d'attention ! A 5min de la plage à pied, seul point qui pourrait peut-être embêter certains est la route qui se trouve à quelques mètres mais pas de problème de bruit la nuit. Endroit stratégique pour faire le lagon de balos et kissamos ( l excursion en bateau par du port de kissamos à seulement 5min en voiture, elafossini ( magnifique) à 1h de voiture et le retour par la côte ( très jolie avec pleins de petits village et route de montagne, on y a même croisé des chèvres ) Très bon rapport qualité prix ! Nous sommes partis en couple et nous recommandons vivement afrilias appartement : ) Thank you : D
