Top Ancient City of Aptera Hotel Reviews

Two Km to beach and all amenities

8/10 Good

"Beautiful property with absolutely stunning views across to Kalyves and beyond. (don't get those stunning views being down in town!) The peace & quiet and birdsong was lovely! You will definitely need to hire a car though, as it would be a challenging walk down to Kalyves in the heat. Wendy, the host was very responsive to our questions about various things - we did have a few issues initally that were answered quickly. A basic info booklet would have been really helpful though to save us keep asking Wendy.4 large sized bedrooms, and a narrow office type room which contained a sofa bed I think? Probably not suitable for an adult to stay in though. Kitchen was well equipped, if a little tired round the edges.Pool area was lovely-the glass enclosures around the property maintained those stunning views even whilst in the pool. Steps lead to a wonderful area above the pool area. Up here are more stunning views, a large sofa, chair, sun loungers and a table footie game! They are also developing this upper area, which additionally contains a toilet area. It was nice to retreat to this area when the weather wasn't great."

Hotel Kalyves Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic hotel, well positioned unfortunately the food could have been a bit hotter but luckily we only went B&B.... We have just got back to the UK ( 05/10/2026) and we was there when the worst weather they had ever experienced storms,torrential rail and wind for 7days... But hey the locals made it special and would definitely come back...."

JW Marriott Crete Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely beautiful property and view. The breakfast was delicious and had a huge selection. 5 star experience."

Olea Villas - Luxury villas by the sea

10/10 Excellent

"We visited this villa for a family celebration as 3 couples, it was everything described and more and was large enough to everyone to have their own personal space if needed! The attention to detail was exceptional with everything you needed to make a perfect holiday. It was a short drive (about 1.5k) to marathi for a few restaurants, this could be walked but the roads are not lit and very hilly. Vicky the cleaner was lovely and did an excellent job and we even had a beautiful warm home made sweet pie delivered for breakfast one morning. Would definitely recommend to anyone seeking that touch of luxury for a perfectly relaxing holiday"

Areti Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff were lovely and helpful. Nice location. Large rooms but could do with an upgrade especially the bathroom."

White View Villa by Alex – Your Dream Holiday in the Heart of Crete

10/10 Excellent

"We had a really brilliant time at this villa. The space is fantastic and it is definitely the best equipped house we have ever visited. The pool / outdoor area is beautiful and Alex could not do enough for us. There are a few very nice tavernas very close by and the Roman ruins at Aptera are also within (slightly further) walking distance. Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday!"

Villa Koules - Vacation villa with private pool in Crete, Greece

10/10 Excellent

"Villa Koules is beautiful and peaceful. High standard of decor inside and out. Only a 10 minute drive from the beach. Lovely views of the white mountains from the pool. Nice village a few minutes away with a mini market and a few tavernas. The pool is a good size and we had lots of fun there. The owner was very kind, friendly, and helpful. We felt very well looked after."

Villa Neria - Four Bedroom Villa, Sleeps 8

10/10 Excellent

"Villa Neria was a beautiful Crete escape. We loved the sea views from the terrace, the private pool, and the calm setting in Megala Chorafia. A very relaxing stay."

Villa Konstantina - Three Bedroom Villa, Sleeps 6

8/10 Good

"Séjour agréable dans un petit complexe de 3 villas. Jolie vue dans un environnement encore en construction. Restaurant et petite épicerie à proximité (1.5km), en revanche il manque quelques ustensiles pour faire la cuisine ( poêle, plats, cuillère en bois...) et pour la nettoyer (le lave vaisselle ne lave rien). La piscine est nettoyée tous les jours et le linge changé une fois par semaine. Pour garer la voiture, pas de parking à proprement dit mais un endroit à l'entrée de la villa."
