The hotel is superb and I decided to book it following all of the good reviews that I had read and they were accurate. The accommodation itself was very nice, clean, comfortable and modern.  The choice and variety of food was excellent and most everything was very tasty and well prepared. Service was exceptional everyone was very friendly and helpful and nothing was too much of a bother for them. The hotel was very good value for money too and I would have no reservation in recommending the hotel to anyone and I also hope and expect to go back again.

Great place, walking distance to the beach, rooms are nice, big and very clean (cleaned daily),staff is very friendly, polite and the food is amazing,I would highly recommend to anybody visiting Crete to spend they holiday here.

We arrived late at night, they met us, left sandwiches, water and juices for the children in the room, the staff is excellent, the food is delicious, everything is just good!)

Ξενοδοχείο Sunrise Village

Beautiful beach. It is truly amazing. You can also go snorkeling there and see fishes.

However the street to the beach is only a dirt road so be careful with your car. There are many goats on the street, watch out for them.

I recommend going there early (before 11am when the boats arrive with 200 people).

If you choose the car, be prepared for ~10 km of really bad and rocky road and then 1,5-2 km of hiking on foot down the mountain so the comfortable footwear an maybe umbrella from the sun is important, lots of rocks and no shadow. But all is worth for the amazing view you get, it's paradise on earth. There is also easy boat option.

Absolutely beutiful place to visit. Its easy walking down to get to here but walking bk up the mountain it's hard. But it's definitely worth the visit. There's a cafe here to at the top of mountain and on the beach

Balos Beach

Akti Kountourioti 8, Chania 731 31, Greece

Friendly and welcoming staff. Very well located small hotel. The suite is wide, well decorated, with large bathroom , and has a perfect view on the Venetian harbor. Lovely. Chic and romantic. The only bad point is the air co is a big noisy , so you ll need to get used ot it...

Lovely large old room overlooking the harbour.
Recommended !!

Really nice, renovated apartment in the core of Chania old town. Price / quality really good. Only minus side is parking.

Chania Inn

Big and clean beach and lots of free parking space. Lots of people but also lots of space and there is another beach and better snorkeling place in the island. It was windy and the water was mixed  near the shore, but it got much clearer about 25 to 35metres from the shore. Also lots of taverns and coffee places along the road and beautiful views.

Loved this beach! The drive from Chania was stunning (although there are very narrow, winding mountain roads). The sand is soft and the water was incredibly clear and blue. Would absolutely come here again

Very beautiful, but busy. If you prefer the quiet, head for the island before 10am. Gets busy from 12

Elafonisi Beach

Great hospitality , amazing sunset view, traditional greek food and reasonable prices!!!Definitely worth it !!!

Great locatiin for the best beach in Falassarna. It os a mother and Son operation.The hotel is not service oriented or friendly. Terrible taverna not good even for breakfast. Promised a Sunset view apartment from the owner by e-mail. That didn't happened on arrival. The same building hosts 2 different hotels: Falassarna Beach and Falassarna Bay. I would try Falassarna Bay for better service. Anyway at the end  it was a nice beach stay.

Falassarna Beach

In this area of ​​the island you will find some of the most beautiful beaches. I have been in this area for 6 days but to visit it well I think 4 are enough. The other 2 days I went back to visit the areas I hadn't seen well, but if you follow the advice...

Platanias, near beautiful beaches

Santorini can be visited in 6 days. For the rest of the trip, once you arrive in Crete, dedicate yourself to renting the car and exploring it far and wide but planning your trip well otherwise you risk going back because the island is large and the main...
