Footsteps to the beach!

Urban styled, fully furnished, renovated apartment, overlooking one of the nicest sandy beaches of Agios Nikolaos.

Ideal for couples, families and companies of friends, it features a fully equipped kitchen, free internet access (ethernet and WiFi) and a smart HD TV with access to satellite and online content (Netflix, Amazon Prime video). There's even a PS4 console for those who enjoy gaming.

The organized (blue flagged) beach of Ammoudi is just footsteps away. Crystal clear shallow water, relaxing atmosphere and a choice of water sports make it enjoyable for all ages.

Close by, the visitor can find a supermarket, restaurants and a beach bar. The town center is an enjoyable 10 minute walk along the nice promenade following the town's sea front.

The neighborhood is safe; hospital and police station are nearby.

An A.T.M. is approximately 350m away. There is a bus stop for local transport just in front of the building.

You are welcomed to contact us should you need any further information.

Potential guests should know that the apartment is situated in an urban area. Therefore, a moderate level of background noise is to be expected, especially during high season months (July-August). For those who prefer a quieter environment, the apartment is fitted with double glazed doors and windows.

Family beach holiday
We had a fabulous week in this apartment exploring eastern Crete. Manolis was very friendly and gave us great recommendations of where to visit and places to eat. The apartment was clean, fresh and spacious and in a great location to access local tavernas and the beach. It was also only a short walk along the sea front to Agios town which we enjoyed some evenings. A great place to stay!

Wonderful apartment
Spotlessly clean, comfortable and very well equipped apartment. Seconds from the beach with fabulous views across the bay. Owner was friendly and on hand if needed. He gave us an informative welcome briefing with suggestions for places to visit, restaurant recommendations etc. The fridge was stocked with a selections of essentials (milk, butter wine) along with some bread and even a carafe of Raki. We had a lovely week and will definitely be back.

Footsteps from the beach
The apartment was spotlessly clean, airy, spacious and well-equipped. It was perfectly located across the road from the beach and short walking distance from town. The balcony gave us great views of the beach. The apartment had everything you could need on holiday including games, books, maps etc and there was ample cleaning products , cooking equipment, crockery, ironing board, washing machine, dishwasher etc. The hosts were very friendly and gave us good tips about the local area and even got in touch when there was a short power cut in the town. The apartment was a great place to stay .

Wonderful Apartment, exceeding expectations
This is a super apartment in Agios Nikolaos. It certainly exceeded expectations and that was already very high. The apartment is well equipped, was Spotlessly clean, bright and spacious and very comfortable. The balcony has a fine view across the bay, with the sun in the morning. Parking was not a problem, there was always a space very close to the apartment. On arrival we had a very warm welcome from our hosts and a short briefing on the apartment and the local area. The apartment is in a great position, close to the beach. Every day we took the few steps down to the sea for an early morning swim. The local beach is really a few steps away, just perfect positioning. The apartment is surrounded by a good choice of restaurants and it is a short walk to the centre of Agios. Before and during our stay the hosts could not have been more helpful. They were terrific. Overall a magnificent apartment for a fabulous holiday.

Great location, well appointed, comfortable and relaxed
Myself, my wife and our 9 month old spent a couple of months here and we really enjoyed our stay. It has all you need for a long term visit and is very homely. Well insulated from noise with the doors and windows closed. The location is a stones throw to the beach and also quite a number of restaurants. Can walk for 10 min and get to the centre of town.

Absolutely perfect
The apartment is the cleanest and most well-equipped we have ever come across. Absolutely everything you could need is here. With one small exception, beach towels, these are not provided so do bring your own (or buy at the supermarket as we did). The beach is a few steps away, right in front of the apartment as are a couple of excellent local restaurants. Agios Nikolaos is a lovely, quiet area especially in early October when the sun still shines. Manolis and Maria are perfect hosts who are on hand for recommendations as to what to see, where to eat and so on. Very highly recommended.

Beautiful apartment!
This is a lovely, well thought out apartment. From my first enquiry, to the day we left, Manolis was one of the easiest owners we have dealt with when renting. He responded quickly to all messages and was very accommodating. He was there to welcome us, even though it was quite late. He gave us restaurant recommendations and tips for places to visit. The fridge had milk, bread, juice, butter, cheese, wine and fruit. Other essentials are thoughtfully provided, such as tea , coffee, washing up liquid and toilet rolls. Meaning you don’t need to make a mad dash to find a shop. Everything in the apartment is excellent quality and spotlessly clean. The bed was super comfortable! There is a wonderful view from the balcony, which is only slightly spoiled by the road which ican be quite busy at times. However, we enjoyed breakfast every day and a couple lunches out there looking at the view. We heard no noise from the road in the bedroom at night as there are electric shutters which work extremely well! There are nice restaurants very close by and plenty more a short walk away in the town centre. We decided not to hire a car, and used the local buses instead. This worked well for us, as the bus station is around a 10 minute walk away, with plenty of regular buses. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this fabulous apartment.

Great apartment, location and hosts
We stayed here over the last three days and it lived up to our expectations. Accommodation - this was excellent, it was a good size for a family of four, well maintained and had some nice little extras like a nespresso machine. There is a big balcony which overlooks the road in front and beach. It is an amazing view and great place to sit early morning or in the evening. There is a bit of noise from a bar which is about 150 metres away but we found it quite nice sitting on the balcony at night and listening to it all as people went by. Very relaxing and once you were inside you could leave any noise behind. Hosts - they were great, very accommodating when we had to change our booking on a couple of occasions, met us at 11pm at night for check in and provided some essentials like milk etc.for our arrival which was very helpful after a long day of travelling. They provided us with lots of helpful information and were very friendly people. Thanks. Location - this is in a quieter part of the town and had a good mixture of different people staying and wasn’t dominated by English. Lots of nice restaurants around the apartment and there is a lovely beach 30 second walk away over the road. It’s a small beach but sandy with crystal blue water. There are water sports on offer. I walked into the busier part of town but I was less impressed as it is a lot more commercialised. Can’t recommend this place highly enough.
