"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. "

Traditional Cretan Houses

8/10 Good

"Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. However, there were some things that I think could be improved. Mainly, the bed was really uncomfortable, although beautiful and clean linen. Myself and my partner barely slept the whole time, it was like a slab of concrete. We had a a terrace with our apartment which was gorgeous and had amazing views of the surrounding landscape. If I were to be picky, it would be nice to have more comfortable seating up there. Air con works and was great. You do need a car if you intend to leave the village, the location for us was 10/10. Beautiful views and easy to get to other locations as long as you hire a car. We didn’t try to get any taxis so not sure how easy it would be to book. The amenities in the village were great, a shop within 100 yards and the restaurant is traditional with fantastic staff. Very reasonably priced, and they bent over backwards to look after us. The apartment itself is lovely, although basic. You cannot really cook there, although there is a kitchen, as there were literally no utensils. There is no kettle either. Be careful of hidden costs, the host text me halfway through the stay to advise we had to pay a €5 per day charge for a climate change resilience fee, this wasn’t in any of the information we had received before or during the stay - and we stayed in a different hotel on our last night and we were not asked to pay this. As I said, overall despite some flaws, we really loved the stay and would stay again."

Luxurious villa with huge garden & private Heated pool in paradise environment

10/10 Excellent

"Wat een prachtig huis en prachtige plek! Je voelt je echt een prinses in je eigen kasteel. De inrichting is mooi, netjes en schoon. In de middle of nowhere maar op 5 minuten lopen is het gezellige dorpspleintje van Melidoni en kun je heerlijk uit eten, ontbijten of een boodschap doen. Het zwembad en de grote tuin zijn heerlijk met parasols, ligbedden en badlakens. Elke dag sinaasappelsap uit eigen tuin. Besef wel dat je buiten leeft, veel vogels die prachtig zingen, maar ook alle soorten insecten die om je heen vliegen en soms ook binnen zijn. Even spannend, maar geen overlast van gehad. Wel deet meenemen voor de muggen. En alles goed opruimen, anders zijn de mieren ook binnen. Niets kon ons vakantiegevoel verstoren, maar een paar kleine puntjes zijn er wel; horren zouden fijn zijn gezien alle insecten. Je kunt beter alles dicht laten en de airco gebruiken ipv de deuren of ramen open zetten ivm alle insecten en de vele katten die in de tuin lopen. Ook verbranden de buren elke dag afval en die lucht/rook komt binnen als je de ramen open hebt. De douchekop in de beneden badkamer hangt naar beneden. Op de pergola woont een kattennest. Kan de pergola niet dicht overdekt gemaakt worden, want dit is eigenlijk de enige plek waar je kunnen zitten? De poezen plassen door de pergola op de tafel en op je hoofd als je er toevallig zit. En elke dag moet je alles schoon maken. Kleine dingen die ons vakantiegevoel zeker niet konden verpesten, maar wel verbeterd kunnen worden! Supervilla!"

Astoria

10/10 Excellent

"The room was modern and spacious, balconies with a sea & mountain view. The buffet breakfast was fresh, with hot & cold choices, great coffee! Staff superb. Guests friendly with kind hearts. My wife was surprised when two Dutch couples presented her with a small gift, singing Happy Birthday on her birthday. Parking on site. Close to all amenities. Shout out to Anna & Constantina."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Magarikarion?

The best area to stay in Magarikarion is generally within the village itself, or in the immediate surrounding countryside for those seeking a more secluded experience.

Magarikarion village is a small, traditional Cretan settlement. It's characterised by its narrow, winding streets, stone houses, and a central square where locals gather. You'll find a few tavernas serving local cuisine and a small mini-market for essentials. The village offers a true taste of rural Cretan life, with olive groves and vineyards surrounding it.

Couples looking for a peaceful escape will appreciate staying directly in Magarikarion village. It's an ideal base for exploring the nearby archaeological site of Phaistos and the beautiful beaches of the south coast, such as Matala and Kommos, which are a short drive away. The quiet evenings and traditional atmosphere make it great for relaxation.

For those prioritising privacy and expansive views, staying in a villa just outside the village is an excellent option. These properties often feature private pools and offer stunning vistas of the Messara Valley and the Libyan Sea.

When is the best time to go to Magarikarion?

The best time to go to Magarikarion is during the late spring (May to early June) or early autumn (September to October) when the weather is pleasantly warm, and the island is less crowded.

Late spring offers comfortable temperatures, typically ranging from 20°C to 28°C, making it ideal for exploring the historical sites and enjoying the natural beauty without the intense summer heat. The wildflowers are in bloom, and the sea is warm enough for swimming. It's a lovely time for couples looking for a romantic escape or solo travellers seeking a peaceful retreat.

Early autumn brings similar pleasant temperatures, usually between 22°C and 29°C, and the sea remains warm for swimming. The main tourist season has tapered off, meaning fewer crowds at popular attractions and a more relaxed atmosphere. This period is excellent for those who appreciate good food and wine, as it coincides with grape harvests and local festivals.
