"The room we stayed in was cleaned everyday and towels and ( coffee pods for the machine) replaced. I was initially slightly dubious about using the sister hotel facilities. But I can assure you it is literally 2 mins away, on a private beach. They have a lovely pool and the most amazing staff. We came for just 5 days and it was just so wonderful to relax and enjoy the surroundings and food and staff’s kindness."

Malevizi

"The property is advertised as a 4 star probably based on the amenities however it’s a 3 star at the most based on UK STANDARDS. The food is limited for vegetarians apart from the array of salads and possibly 4 vegetarian main options. Foods are not not always labelled. However the chef is accommodating if given pre-notice. Rooms needs a revamp, common areas are not cleaned, sun bed are not cleaned daily."

Top Áno Kalésia Hotel Reviews

Peninsula Resort & Spa - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing"

Lyttos Beach - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"This was our 2nd visit. A couple with 2 kids. We had a ground floor room in the new building (4000). Family room with sliding door. The room was spacious. Lots of closet apace as well. Beds and pillows- comfortable. The bathroom was between 2 room, good location. The sliding door was noisy, closes with a bang. The bathroom was good, water pressure a bit low. We stayed for 3 nights, after the 1st night our room was cleaned but after the 2nd- no. Had to ask for fresh towels. Had some ants on the floor from the balcony. Probably better to ask for a non-ground floor room. Lots of noise from the Cicadas, at no fault of the hotel of course. Some negatives regarding the restaurants- last time, 2 years ago, at every restaurant there would be someone showing us to a table according to the number of people. Now- we had to find a table by our selves, sometimes needing to ‘outrun’ a bit someone else to get the vacant table. The food is quite repetitive, but the selection is wide. All of the restaurants, except of the asian, serve the same food. And in all of the restaurants, it is the same food every single day, and the same as it was 2 years ago. Also a negative regarding sun-beds occupying with towels. They dont stop this phenomenon, and if you come after 10, almost no beds available. Some are ‘taken’ by a towel or 2 and for the whole day- no one !comes to lie there. They should not allow this"

Aquila Atlantis Hotel

8/10 Good

"The highlights of the stay were the excellent breakfast buffet. It was really impressive. The more the guests, the better the offerings. We were half board so had dinner as well. There weren’t enough guests on half board so there wasn’t a buffet but the hotel allowed us to order anything on the menu. The drinks on the last night were comped which was quite nice. Stella from F&B was a standout. She was incredibly welcoming and helpful and very understanding, helping us get comfortable at the hotel. The other staff member who helped us was the young man at the door. He helped create a great impression for the first time, we didn’t see him much so I couldn’t catch his name. The other staff especially front desk really lacked hospitality and bedside manner. Requests to answer questions or open the garage were met with “what!?” as though we spouted blasphemy. Very strange and uninviting. The hotel parking is convenient but kind of a pain to get in — you have to send someone up to front desk to have them open the gate while you hover there blocking the street. There are two pools and I would rate them as satisfactory because they are very small. The location is excellent. Just adjacent to the museum and our room had a wonderful view of the port and the water. We enjoyed our stay there."

Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful stay at Sofia's Hotel. It's incredibly convenient, located just a 10-minute walk from the airport. You can also take Bus #6 for only €1–2, which drops you off very close to the hotel. I chose to walk, and it was an easy, pleasant walk. The service was exceptional from the moment I arrived. The front desk staff were friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help with any questions. The hotel has a nice pool and an on-site restaurant, and the breakfast was delicious with plenty of options. The room was clean, the Wi-Fi worked well throughout my stay, and the price was excellent for an overnight stay. If you're looking for a comfortable, affordable, and convenient hotel near the airport, I highly recommend Sofia's Hotel."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Áno Kalésia?

The best area to stay in Áno Kalésia is the village itself, particularly around the central square and the main road that runs through it.

Áno Kalésia is a small, traditional Cretan village known for its peaceful environment and authentic local character. The main road, often referred to locally as the 'plateia' street, is where you'll find the kafeneion (traditional coffee shops) and a few small local shops. The village is set in a rural landscape, surrounded by olive groves, offering a sense of seclusion while still being conveniently located a short drive from Heraklion.

Couples looking for a quiet retreat will find Áno Kalésia an excellent choice. It provides a relaxed setting away from the bustle of larger tourist hubs, allowing for peaceful evenings and leisurely mornings. You can enjoy walks through the olive groves or simply relax in a local kafeneion, experiencing genuine Cretan hospitality.

For families, Áno Kalésia offers a lovely base for exploring the wider region. Its quiet streets and friendly local atmosphere make it a comfortable place to return to after day trips to nearby archaeological sites like Knossos or the beaches along the coast.

When is the best time to go to Áno Kalésia?

The best time to visit Áno Kalésia is typically during the late spring (May to early June) and early autumn (September to October) when the weather is pleasant for exploring.

During these months, you'll find the temperatures are comfortably warm, averaging around 20-25°C (68-77°F), making it ideal for outdoor activities like hiking or visiting local villages. The crowds are also thinner than in the peak summer months, allowing for a more relaxed experience at archaeological sites and beaches. This period offers a good balance of sunshine and comfortable conditions without the intense heat of July and August.

For those who enjoy warmer weather and don't mind the bustling atmosphere, the peak summer months of July and August offer consistently hot and sunny days, with temperatures often exceeding 30°C (86°F). This is superb for beach holidays and swimming, though popular spots will be busier. Many local festivals and events also occur during this time.

You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival.
