Kato Zakros Hotels

"This is a charming ,clean, well furnished cottage. Tucked away in its own olive grove and garden area. Hands on family operated. Eastern Crete is quite with some beaches within droving distance. And Minoan ruins abound. I highly recommend this place. And the chocolate cake awaiting us was a welcome touch !"

"Lovely welcome, polite staff. We had a room upgrade to a sea view which was nice. Breakfast was plentiful but as it was end of season the bread rolls and croissants were very dry. The fruit had swarms of fruit flies so we decided not to bother, but there were other options. The pool area looked nice and clean with lots of seating options. It was very quiet, possibly we were there on their last open weekend, not sure. Sound proofing wasn’t good In the bedroom, we could hear a man talking loudly either in the next room or in the corridor around midnight. I’m sure that in the height of the season it is a very different experience. Having said that the beds were comfortable and there was plenty of hot water. We don’t think it merits the 5* rating. "

"Loved this house. Beautifully restored. The village was small. Had everything we needed. Clean, comfortable bed. Washer and as a great benefit. So close to the beach. If ever in Crete again we would stay here again. Aunty who had the keys was super sweet "

"The Old Pomegranate House was an enchanting place to stay. Views of the bay, beautiful sunsets and a cozy, well appointed, clean space to call home. Perfectly located to explore Eastern Crete. Recommendations from our hosts were detailed and really enhanced our trip. They also left us delicious feta, and local tomatoes and cucumbers- we feasted on these for breakfast our entire stay. We hope to return some day! "

"Nice little apartments just a short stroll from the main hub of Makry Gialos. Very clean, spacious, excellent air conditioning and a beautiful lady (Despina I think?) who looked after us and gave us some wonderful home grown organic produce (grapes, apples, pomegranate). Not to mention the raki & delicious cake! We had a really lovely couple if days here ❤️"

"We had a wonderful stay at Agrilos House. The property is tastefully furnished, has very comfortable beds, a well equipped kitchen and great bathroom shower. The house has a spacious terrace with commanding views of the mountains and coastline, although a large tree does unfortunately get in the way of the amazing sea view. The host (Despina) was easy to contact and provided information about the property and area in advance of our visit. We were also left a very generous welcome basket of local produce, which was a lovely touch. Myrsini is a small village set on the main road to Sitia, so there is occasional traffic noise, but it is not constant or too intrusive. Otherwise the location is peaceful and a real plus point is the village has a mini mart/coffee shop and a quaint taverna (Kathodon) only a couple of minutes walk from the house. "

"The location and room were exceptional. Communication was easy and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay at GM Luxury Suite and would return any time!!"

"It was a shame that lunch wasn’t available by the pool - only toasted sandwiches The setting was beautiful - rooms clean and staff friendly "

"Excellent stay! Highly recommended "
