"Came in the off season, and it was a complete bait and switch. Actual hotel was closed (including pool and restaurant (so no breakfast)). Placed us next door in tiny apartments.

"If you are wanting a 5 star hotel this is not the place for you however if you are wanting a very Cretian villa with a beautiful pool and garden and a host who goes the extra mile then this is the place. Vagelis (the owner) simply added to the holiday with his fresh fruits, honey and oil from his own olives. He was available for any help needed. Great place to stay and great people. We would gladly visit again."

A house by the sea.

10/10 Excellent

"Wunderschöne Ferienwohnung direkt am MeerWir waren mit der Ferienwohnung rundum zufrieden. Sie ist sehr liebevoll eingerichtet und mit allem ausgestattet, was man für einen entspannten Urlaub braucht. Besonders toll ist die Lage: Das Meer ist keine 20 Meter entfernt und eignet sich direkt vor der Unterkunft hervorragend zum Schwimmen und Schnorcheln.Ein weiteres Highlight unserer Reise, der Listis Beach, ist mit dem Auto in weniger als 15 Minuten erreichbar.Besonders hervorheben möchten wir das gemeinsame Essen mit unseren Gastgebern Eleni und Kostas, die extra für uns gekocht haben. Das war eine sehr schöne und persönliche Erfahrung, an die wir uns gerne zurückerinnern werden.Bei Fragen oder Problemen war unsere Gastgeberin jederzeit erreichbar und sehr hilfsbereit. Auch für Familien mit Kindern ist die Wohnung bestens geeignet – es gibt Spielzeug und sogar ein separates Kinderzimmer.Alles in allem war es für uns ein rundum gelungener und erholsamer Urlaub. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und würden jederzeit gerne wiederkommen."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Lourai?

For a high-quality and convenient holiday in Lourai, the best area to stay is along the coastal stretch of Agia Marina and Platanias. These two villages effectively merge into one bustling resort area, offering the most comprehensive range of amenities and direct access to the beach.Agia Marina is known for its long, sandy beach and a good selection of upscale hotels and restaurants. It's a bit more relaxed than its neighbour but still offers plenty to do. You'll find beach clubs, shops, and tavernas lining the main road, which is the EO Aerodromiou Soudas. This area is particularly well-suited for families, as many hotels offer facilities like children's pools and organised activities, and the beach is generally calm and shallow.Platanias, just west of Agia Marina, is the more energetic of the two. It acts as the main hub for evening entertainment and dining, with a wider array of bars, nightclubs, and gourmet restaurants. The main street is always busy with shops and cafes. Couples looking for a lively base with easy access to nightlife and a fantastic selection of dining options will find Platanias ideal.

When is the best time to go to Lourai?

The best time to visit Lourai, Crete, is during the shoulder seasons of May, early June, September, and early October.These months offer pleasant weather, with warm temperatures superb for exploring and enjoying the outdoors without the intense heat and larger crowds of the peak summer months. You'll find the sea warm enough for swimming, and the natural landscape is often at its most beautiful.For those planning a romantic getaway, May and September are particularly appealing. The fewer crowds mean a more relaxed experience at archaeological sites like Knossos and Phaistos, and you'll find it easier to secure reservations at popular restaurants. The evenings are mild, ideal for leisurely strolls along the coast or enjoying a drink at a pavement cafe.Families travelling with younger children might also find early June or September ideal. The temperatures are comfortable for beach days and outdoor activities, but the resorts and attractions are less crowded than in July and August, leading to a more relaxed holiday for everyone.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

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.
