Breathtaking views perched on the hills overlooking the sea and the white mountains. Run by a wonderful and helpful local family. I loved this property even with the tiny shower and slow internet (Whole area is slow). This is the best place for this area, close to a beautiful town Georgioupoli and to over 6-10 miles of beach. It has a nice pool but the balconies are the steal.

Fantastic view and charming family run business.
On arrival at Albion we were greeted by Dimitri and we were given coffee and cake. When we were ready Dimitri helped with our cases. Our apartment was right at the top. The bed faces out to the mountains. There was everything one needed along with the care and attention from the family. Our air conditioning unit stopped working and while we were out a technician was called and it could not be repaired. We were then moved tho another room. While the air on there was noisy it was acceptable although we were then provided with a stand alone fan. We really cannot find anything wrong with the property so long as you are not expecting a luxurious establishment. The shower has been mentioned as being hand held, but it seems that is the norm here in Crete.

Well appointed apartments away from town
We had a last minute end of season stay at the Alkion, and could not have chosen better. Dimitri and his family were charming and generous, the apartments were clean with well appointed balconies giving sea views. We liked the fact that the Alkion is about 3 km out of town, and the fact that it is up in the hills gives spectacular views both of the seaside town of Gergioupolis below and beautiful surrounding countryside as well as far distant mountains. The apartments are clean and well serviced, the pool has plenty of sunbeds, and there are two or three restaurants close by (100m) if you don't want to eat in town or self cater.

Fantastic value!
From the breathtaking views of the mountains and the beach to the wonderful welcome from hosts, Evangelina and Ilios, this hotel is a great find. Spotlessly clean and comfortable with a huge delicious breakfast available as an extra, I hesitate to recommend too much in case there is no vacancy for when I next return, which I hope will be soon! Very conveniently located as base to explore Western Crete.

Outstanding!
I was so happy with my stay! The room was clean and the service outstanding. It's a family-run hotel and that really shows in everything, from the outstanding homemade cakes to the friendly atmosphere. It kills me that I didn't have any cash left to adequately tip them all. It was quiet, friendly, clean and in a beautiful spot for those of us who would rather not be stuck in the tourist chaos.

Bellissima esperienza
Ho alloggiato presso Alkion Hotel per 3 notti. Bellissima struttura ricettiva, esteticamente molto curata e piena di bouganville ed ibiscus, arroccata su di un colle con piscina panoramica e vista sul mare. I proprietari sono 2 signori veramente umili e gentili. Ci hanno accolti con un frappè al caffè, ciambellone e crostata. Non hanno nemmeno voluto nulla. Non parlano molto bene inglese, ma nonostante tutto siamo riusciti ad interagire e a farci due risate insieme, perché sono veramente gradevoli ed affabili. Ci hanno dato una camera quintupla, nonostante fossimo in 2. Confortevole, pulita (c'era un piccolo geco sul soffitto, ma stando immersi nella natura ci sta), zona molto tranquilla a 5 minuti da Georgiopolis.

Nice apartments and studio's in Georgioupoli
We stayed 4 nights at Alkion, the staff is extremely nice and give you the feeling of being at home. Father, mother and 2 sons are running this place and provide you with all the information you need about Georgioupoli (Jojupoli) and Crete Island. The breakfast is very good. Alkion is situated just outside of Georgioupoli on the main road but in the evening and night it is very quiet. The complex has a nice swimming pool where you can relax and have a drink from the bar. We came as strangers and went away as friends. In this area there's a lot to discover, just ask the management. Parking in front of the apartments. Well worth your money.

We enjoyed our stay, the place is beautifully located on the hill overlooking Georgioupolis! Friendly welcome and a studio with more than enough space for the three of us. Pool is large and was a true asset to the place. Studio's are outdated, but clean and whatever needed was there.

Tolle Aussicht in angenehmer Atmosphäre
Sehr schöne Anlage, gut gelegen, sehr sympathische Familie, die das Hotel betreiben und man kann sich hier sehr wohl fühlen. Der Garten ist liebevoll angelegt, alles blüht und macht einen gepflegten Eindruck, Swimmingpool macht einen guten Eindruck, obwohl ich ihn noch nicht benutzt habe, da ich im Meer baden bevorzuge. Man braucht einen fahrbaren Untersatz, um nach Exopolis zu kommen, die Bushaltestelle, der Strand, Restaurant und Einkaufen sind 3-4 km entfernt. Dafür hat man hier oben Ruhe, einen schönen Blick auf die Bucht und nette Nachbarn.

"Fantastisk utsikt"
Vi hadde leilighet med en helt utrolig bra beliggenhet. Utsikt så langt du kunne se og et kjempehyggelig vertskap. Vi brukte ca 30 min å gå ned til sentrum. Minus var kjøkkenet som var dårlig utstyrt. Det manglet bl.a. kjele, stekepanne, t.skje, utstyr til å vaske opp. Badet var knøtt.
