"We received a very warm welcome by the owners. Although we arrived early they accommodated us and checked us in early. The breakfast was authentic and delicious! The rooms spacious and clean. And oh, the view Fantastic!!
I wish we could have stayed longer"
"An excellent apartment (we were in Unit G with the outside balcony). While we found the inside space to be a bit “tight,” we found the two decks to be beyond spacious. The view is fantastic and the locale is ideal for the waterfront area.
The apartment was absolutely immaculate upon arrival. Self check-in was clearly communicated and the hosts were very proactive in outreach. The kitchen was small but adequately provisioned — and everything works perfectly. The pictures actually do not do...

Rejuvenate family & friends at Stunning Villa Estia - close to beach & tavernas.
10/10 Excellent
"We had an amazing stay at Villa Estia, set just a short drive from Makry Gialos in a peaceful hillside location. The villa offered everything we needed for a relaxing family holiday and then some!The views were truly breathtaking—rolling hills, sea glimpses, and beautiful sunsets right from the terrace. The pool was a standout feature for us. It was perfect for both younger children and adults, with a great layout and plenty of space to swim or cool off. There were also plenty of shaded areas around the pool and outdoor seating, which was ideal for escaping the midday sun without having to head inside.Inside, the air-conditioning worked flawlessly throughout the villa—powerful, quiet, and consistent. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, and there was a great sense of privacy and calm throughout. We especially enjoyed the dining spaces both indoors and out—perfect for big family meals or laid-back breakfasts with a view. There are many lovely places to see in a hire car and easily fell your time up on the island. Overall, we had a fantastic stay. Villa Estia is peaceful, well-equipped, and an excellent choice for families or groups looking to relax, unwind, and enjoy the beauty of Crete. We’d absolutely stay again!"
"The lady who owns or manages the place is the kindest and most helpful person we’ve met. She made us feel at home. Beaches are within walking distance, the pool is also very clean and private. "
"A wonderful hotel. Great staff. The location and grounds are lovely. Pools are so perfectly maintained with plenty of sun chairs. We used the fitness center, which you can reserve. It has everything you need for a good workout. Seafront restaurants are a short walk away. The Cretan House was our favorite. Right on the harbor with impressive food. Also liked the easy parking. If you drive in Crete you know what that means. Our 4 night stay was a highlight of our 6 week trip around Crete. Highly recommend. "
The most popular time to visit Zakros is during the spring months, particularly in May, when the weather is pleasantly warm and flowers are in full bloom. Temperatures typically range from 20 to 25°C, making it a delightful period for outdoor activities and exploration of this charming coastal village.
As the peak season runs from June to August, Zakros sees an influx of visitors eager to enjoy its stunning beaches and unique archaeological sites. This is a fantastic time for hiking the surrounding trails, visiting the ancient Minoan ruins, or simply relaxing by the crystal-clear waters. The warm, sunny days are superb for soaking up the sun, while the evenings offer a vibrant atmosphere with local tavernas serving fresh seafood and traditional Cretan dishes.
For travellers seeking a more tranquil experience, consider visiting in late September or early October. Although the weather remains warm, with averages around 22°C, the crowd levels decrease, allowing for a more laid-back experience. It's an excellent opportunity to engage with the local culture, as many festivals and harvest celebrations take place during this time, showcasing the rich traditions of the region.
