1. Aravanes

Amari

"My fiancé and I stayed here the night before and night of our wedding. I cannot say enough amazing things about this location or the people who work here. We left feeling like family. We all shed a tear at checkout. I’ve never experienced the level of genuine kindness and hospitality that we did here anywhere in the world. Our wedding would not have been the same without them. From the food to the amazing view, this place is truly magic. "

"Decent hotel for the money. Pictures are deceiving. Pool has limited chairs. Did not eat at the hotel at all because there was always a faint smell of vomit. Room was old and needs updating. The housekeeper opened the door to the deck daily which made the room extremely hot upon entering and you are unable to leave on the air conditioning when you leave the room. The smallest shower I’ve ever seen with no wash rags available."

Top Gerakari Hotel Reviews

Iberostar Waves Creta Panorama & Mare

10/10 Excellent

"You cannot fault this hotel. The rooms were bright,spacious and the beds were oh so comfortable. There was a wide and varied choice of food. But I think what stands out the most was the exceptional staff. Their customer service was second to none. Nothing was too much trouble. They were flexible and helpful. I would especially like to mention both Lisa Smith in guest services and Despina who was serving in the water park bar. Both went out of their way to be kind, helpful and extremely friendly. I would also like to mention the new water park. The variety of slides appeals to all ages and the splash pad is excellent for smaller guests. Overall we had a fantastic stay."

May Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"Helpful personal"

Grecotel Marine Palace & Aqua Park

10/10 Excellent

"Well thought out for families, still allowing sufficient space for privacy/quiet time for a couple with only child. Lots of activities and areas for our child to make friends. Excellent food, all the staff (particularly the unsung service heroes) were superb. A wonderful experience. Book any restaurant meals as early as possible!"

Nautilux Rethymno by Mage Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"NA"

The Syntopia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at the Syntopia Hotel for our summer holiday. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, they put in extra effort to get to know you and ensure you are having a lovely holiday. A few days into our holiday, they were automatically bringing our favourite drinks to our table at meal times which was very lovely! The food had such a good variety with a different focus every other night. We particularly enjoyed the Asian night. We would recommend staying at the Syntopia to everyone!"

Paralos Irini Mare

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were large and clean. The staff were great and did all they could to make our stay memorable. The pool was great and the food was excellent, breakfast, lunch and dinner were all very well done. The only caveat to that was the Tomatini restaurant which to our surprise was a little disappointing. This part of the island flies under the radar and is an absolute gem."

The Royal Blue

10/10 Excellent

"We love the royal blue. It’s our third visit to this resort and it doesn’t disappoint. This sister hotel next door royal senses is also great and has water slides which is fun for the family. The beach is also really lovely and great for snorkelling and swimming."

Oros Luxury Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was simply perfect. From the beautiful pool-access room to the exceptional kindness and hospitality of the staff, every detail felt special. The hotel manager personally walked us to the dining room on our first visit, and Nikos from one of the hotel’s impressive restaurants was absolutely amazing. The spa is also fantastic and even offers hairdressing services. Simply wow. If you’re visiting Crete, don’t miss the chance to stay at OROS. An unforgettable experience!"

Mary Hotel & Mary Royal Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Parking easy and close. Walk to good restaurants and to the beach. Excellent staff! Would definitely recommend!"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Gerakari?

The best area to stay in Gerakari is within the village itself, particularly around the central square.This area provides the most authentic experience of Gerakari. The village is small and compact, with traditional stone houses and narrow, winding streets. The central square is a natural gathering point, often hosting local events, and you'll find the village's tavernas and a small shop here. It's a peaceful rural setting surrounded by olive groves and the foothills of the Kedros mountain range.Couples looking for a quiet, romantic escape will find the village centre ideal. You can enjoy strolls through the scenic countryside, dine at local tavernas, and experience the relaxed pace of Cretan village life.

When is the best time to go to Gerakari?

When planning your trip to Gerakari, Crete, the best time to visit is during the shoulder seasons of May, early June, September, and early October.These months offer a wonderful balance of pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and comfortable temperatures for exploring the region. You'll find the countryside is lush and green in May and early June, great for hiking and enjoying the natural beauty, while September and early October still provide warm, sunny days ideal for outdoor activities without the peak summer heat.For couples looking for a romantic escape, these shoulder months are particularly appealing. The weather is gentle enough for leisurely drives through the olive groves, enjoying meals on outdoor terraces, and discovering secluded spots in the surrounding villages without the bustle of high summer. You'll appreciate the serene atmosphere and the chance to connect with the local culture at a more relaxed pace.Families travelling with children will also find these times excellent. The milder temperatures are much more comfortable for little ones when exploring the outdoors, and the reduced number of tourists means a more relaxed experience at local attractions.
