Sfakia apartments

Our 3rd visit to Crete. This is a lovely, air-conditioned apartment, set in a quiet traditional village in a beautiful part of Crete. The views from the patio are stunning. The facilities provided within the apartment, and outside, were all we needed for our 9 night stay. The bed is very comfortable and the pool is everything it looks, maintained at a constant 30 Deg C. Within 30 minutes travel is the lovely seaside resort of Kalyves. There are many golden, sandy, beaches within easy reach. Chania airport and city are about 30 minutes drive as is a Lidl store. There are local shops and chemists within a few minutes drive. I advise hiring a car, in order to get the best from your stay. The hosts, Kathie and Chris are lovely people! They are extremely helpful, friendly and kind. The advice that they gave us on the local area was really helpful. Thank you both, so much, for everything! We thoroughly recommend thiis for a holiday to remember! Roly & Mandy Love.

Lovely property, really friendly host who was always on hand to help and offer advice. Lovely pool and view. Well maintained property and easy to find. You would definitely require a car to get around. Buses do run but we found it much easier to have a car for getting to and from beaches and restaurants etc.

The photos do not do this place justice. It is beautiful, scenic and hidden away. Close enough to walk to the beach or any number of local tavernas but also boasting the rarity of a lovely, shared pool. There are two apartment units at the property but you don't feel as if you are imposing on another family's holiday. The town itself is a quiet, authentic slice of Crete. There are several very decent beaches with excellent snorkelling opportunities along the small stretch of coast and a number of very decent, picturesque tavernas to chose from. I would recommend car hire because it opens up further opportunities along the coast, such as boat hire from Sfakia or the Prevelli beach trip. The hosts are friendly and generous without being imposing. It felt more like staying with friends - they are always on hand to ask for tips and advice about local culture. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxed, quiet getaway.

Lovely apartment, well equipped and with plenty of outdoor space- we enjoyed a bbq on the terrace overlooking the bay. Less than five mins drive from the town centre. The pool was lovely. Very responsive owners as well- would highly recommend.
