Krotiri Holidays

Everything was great with our stay besides the fact that as soon as you step out of your room, it smells like urine. There are a lot of stray cats and some dogs on the property so anywhere outdoors smells like urine. Besides that, everything else was great. We loved having direct access to the Santa Maria Beach. Although, you do have to pay at least €50 for a sunbed, even if you are staying at the property.

The one positive I will note is that the property is perfectly situated just outside the busy area which means there is virtually no noise at night. It is also within walking distance of central Naoussa and Avant Mar Beach Club. The room itself is modern-looking and spacious however, the cleanliness was unfortunately subpar. The carpet in the room appeared dirty and had a horrible musty smell that lingered throughout the room unless we kept the AC running to circulate the air. The shower walls were covered in soap scum and visible water marks which was disappointing. I always check the bed before settling in and I found fresh stains on the mattress cover underneath the sheets. We immediately notified housekeeping, and a young man named Mohammed came to replace it with a clean mattress cover which I appreciated. Another issue was the lack of adequate bedding. The only covering provided at night was a thin sheet and I found myself quite chilly on the first night. I asked the older gentleman who appeared to be the property manager if we could have a thicker blanket as there were no extra blankets stored in the room. Unfortunately he was quite resistant and told me that they do not provide extra blankets suggesting instead that I should simply not sleep with the AC on. I found this response dismissive and not particularly accommodating. He finally agreed to provide a blanket after arguing that I dont sleep with the AC on. The breakfast was also disappointing, with limited options

A true home away from home with the most wonderful, authentic Greek accommodation and family hosts. The room is completely comfortable and spacious particularly if you’re venturing around the island for most of the stay. Daily breakfast excellent! The pool was stunning. You certainly don’t need the ‘Hilton’ when you can stay somewhere with this much character and warmth. Thank you for being so welcoming and helpful throughout my stay. Looking forward to returning.

We absolutely loved our stay here as a family of 4. The accommodation was clean, pretty and had everything we needed. The breakfast was delicious and so fresh, mostly if not, all homemade. The pool area is lovely and we were always able to get a bed. We loved the area as it was a bit more remote and not busy. Only a 10 min drive to Naoussa and with hiring a car, so many beautiful beaches within 10-30 mins away. We would definitely return. The family who host are super helpful and friendly too. Thank you for a wonderful week.
