Great staff; great food. Good information on trails; one of the best showers in Europe.
Back-dropped by breathtaking Cretan mountains, the family-run Faragi enjoys a unique location, at the peaceful seaside village of Agia Roumeli, at the end of the famous Samaria Gorge.

Our room overlooked the ocean and it was peaceful and quiet. It was up on the hill from the town so it was an extra 10 min walk if you are coming from the gorge, but it makes for nice views and easy access to a more secluded beach area. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. The beds were pretty comfy as well. For the price it is great!

Nice, quiet village with friendly people and good food facilities. Ideal vacation place with small children. Sea, walking part of Samaria Gorge (from Agia Roumeli to Samaria village and back is durable with children, just take something to eat and drink with you - there are no selling points there). You can also take a walk to Agios Pavlos or (if not afraid of climbing) take a route to the medieval castle ruines ( take less steap route, partly going through a forest - less dangerous and not so hot).
During long stay we tried more than 5 restaurants and liked Faragi and Paralia the most: good meals, friendly owners; we felt almost at home at those places.

Agia Roumeli is a small village, which mainly accommodates those who visit the Samaria Gorge. Access is either by foot from the gorge or by boat from other parts of Sfakia region.
It is definitely recommended to stay in Agia Roumeli after visiting the Gorge, as it is a quite demanding hike and some time to rest and relax is much needed.
Lots of nice restaurants and cafes to choose from. People are warm and welcoming, and the Agia Roumeli beach is also lovely.

In May, after ferries leave, a very sleepy, romantic place to be in. Next day, while travellers from Samaria arrive, a bit crowdy village :-) The atmosphere is very nice, great to experience, a great spot to stay after your Samaria walk and maybe even a bit longer!

Agia Roumeli offers activities for both sea and mountain lovers, and good, Cretan food based on local products. It should thus be considered as a destination on its own and not just a transfer area after exiting the Samaria Gorge.

Wonderful town, away from the big crowds.
Wonderful town, away from the big crowds. Crystal clear blue waters with great swimming and snorkelling possibilities. 2-3 decent restaurants, which in combination with having a small supermarket and our own kitchen was ideal for up to a week.
The town is crowded only for a few hours per day when hikers come down from the gorge. Me and my partner immediately felt at home and decided to stay one more night than planned. A lovely little gem that I’d love to visit again.

The beach has black sand, so is too hot to sit on or walk on...
The beach has black sand, so is too hot to sit on or walk on, and the water is not always clean, depending on the wind direction. Agia Roumeli serves more as an exit or entrance point to Samaria Gorge, which means that most tourists are "one-time" visitors. So related services are overpriced and of poor quality.
Which is a pity, because it is a very nice village, that could be worth staying a couple more days.
The best hotel we stayed in during our trip. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The room was a good size looking out over the sea. The sea breeze in the night meant there was no need for the AC. The breakfast was made with local products and served like a cream tea. The local yoghurt, honey and coconut was delicious. We used the hotel sun beds for the day. There were changing rooms and showers to use. Highly recommend.
Eleni and her family have been so nice to me, you can tell that they work hard to make this place clean and to make you feel like home. The room has a big balcony that faces the sea, where you can chill after a long walk through the Samaria gorge and if you keep the window open you can fall asleep to the sound of the waves. I wish I could have stayed longer, it was a great experience!
Our room overlooked the ocean and it was peaceful and quiet. It was up on the hill from the town so it was an extra 10 min walk if you are coming from the gorge, but it makes for nice views and easy access to a more secluded beach area.

Joseph as a host was amazing. Friendly, gave us really good advice for our next trip.
The view from the room was simply the best. Right at the beach, with a view of a nearby port. It was spacious with a big balcony with a place to hang your wet clothes from the beach. And there are two nearby!
It was a steak for this price. Love it!
The service in the hotel and restaurant Artemis was more than excellent. Athina and Roussos did their best and were very polite. The traditional dishes were amazing. Finally we enjoyed a visit in the old village of Agia Roumeli in the gorge.We had the opportunity to see bee breeding and honey production by Roussos Viglis.
Our room was spacious, clean and with a stunning view of the Libyan sea. Like all rooms in Agia Roumeli this is a basic hotel but it has been renovated, it's right up near the beachfront, it has Air-conditioning that actually works and the owner of the property and the taverna downstairs is very warm and welcoming.
I’ve never been so well taken care of by a hotel in my life. The staff contacted us on our hike there and guided us to help us avoid heatstroke, checking in along the way. After arriving later than expected, dehydrated and overheated, we were given water and care and guidance for over an hour. Just exceptional.
I had so much fun staying here after hiking Samaria Gorge! Mr. Nektarius and his wife were so welcoming and kind and I felt at home the minute I got there. The room was simple but it was very clean, good air conditioning, and the view was great. 10/10 would recommend staying here!
We got a recently renovated comfortable room for super cheap. The room was just over the owner's minimarket which was really convenient and much quieter than other hotels over restaurants. Agia roumeli is super small so everything was 5 minutes walking max
After a long and difficult hike from Sougia!
we arrived in Agia Roumeli, the Gigilos hotel was an oasis for us! the owners are friendly and welcoming!
The room was clean with a balcony and sea view.
Thank you!!
It was a nice refuge after a long hike in Samaria gorge. We loved the beautiful water views from the balcony, and enjoyed cooling down with the A/C. The owners were extremely welcoming and it was a great value!
Amazing place! Probably the best in the village. Very friendly and supportive hosts. Squeeky clean room and bathroom. Delicious breakfast - the best I had during 2 weeks in Crete. Highly reccommended!
Apartament was so clean and comfortable. Me and my family we had so lovely time there. Apartment is in beautiful small village, it’s perfect place for stay after visit Samaria Gorge
Beautiful hotel with a great restaurant below. Friendly staff, delicious food, scenic views, and a five minute walk to the beach.
