Housed in a historic building, the recently renovated Agia Fotia Taverna provides accommodation with a bar and free WiFi. This beachfront property offers access to a balcony. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available.

The family-friendly restaurant at the homestay serves Greek cuisine, and is open for dinner and lunch. I'm not usually one for writing reviews—let alone one that sounds like a travel blog—but I’ve got the time, and something about this place just gets under your skin. This is my second time staying at Agia Fotia, and I didn’t think it was possible to enjoy it more than the first—but I have. It’s a small, family-run taverna in a quiet, out-of-the-way spot, and that’s exactly what makes it special. There’s no big show here. Just real people, running a place with heart. The food is excellent. We tried a different dish every day, and each one hit the mark. Nothing fussy—just good, honest cooking that makes you want to slow down and enjoy it properly. If you’re looking for a place to stay while racing around sightseeing, this probably isn’t it. But if you want to switch off, swim in warm sea water, snorkel around some beautiful rocks, and lose track of time, then this is exactly the right place. Bring sea shoes—the beach is rocky—and don’t bother with anything fancy. It’s a slops-and-T-shirt kind of place. A small tip (literally): staff appreciate cash tips, since the new Greek laws mean card tips are taxed. They work hard and make you feel genuinely welcome, so keep that in mind. Part of me hesitates to even write this—I'd rather not have too many people discover it. But the family deserve every bit of success. They’ve put a lot into this place, and it shows. I’ll definitely be back, probably more often than I should. Come for the peace and quiet. Stay for the food, the sea, and the kind of hospitality that’s getting harder to find these days.

Featuring garden views, Stella's Traditional Inn features accommodation with balcony, around 33 km from Vai Palm Forest. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. The guest house provides rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. I think up until now this was our best rent ever, loved everything - isolated location of the property, the garden with so many little beautiful details in it, many different places you can relax, sunbeds, variety of patio furniture, hammocks, it felt like even if this place is fully occupied with guests it can never feel crowded. One thing to mention which was a huge plus to us - cicadas! There are so many and they can be so loud at times that you can't hear yourself think, it's beautiful :) Aside from this, all the regular expectations are there - very clean, comfortable rooms, private parking.

Krassopsychia Apartments features air-conditioned guest accommodation in Krásion, 32 km from Cretaquarium Thalassocosmos, 39 km from Lake Voulismeni and 46 km from Heraklion Archaeological Museum. The property is around 47 km from Venetian Walls, 48 km from The Palace of Knossos and 19 km from Acqua Plus Waterpark. The property has a restaurant with an outdoor dining area. This was one of my favorite places that we stayed on our trip to Greece. The owner was extremely accommodating and helpful. The traditional styled apartment was absolutely adorable. My husband especially liked the fireplace. The apartment might be a little difficult if you’re tall or bigger as the doorways are low and bathroom is small. If you’re looking for something quaint that’s off the beaten path but still walking distance to a few restaurants, this is your place!
