Located in a perfect place to travel around Crete. We had the best trip ever. This hotel is clean comfortable ( very comfortable beds) and it is hard to leave. This is a hidden gem and excellent value for the money.

The location was very convenient, with a minimarket and a few restaurants in immediate proximity. The area is quiet, we slept well at night. Maria and her family were very friendly and responsive. The property was spotlessly clean. There were all necessary kitchen appliances, toilet paper, paper towels etc. available. We were offered sincere hospitality and found the proeprty to be good value for money. The host was very attentive and asked us if there was anything else we needed. We enjoyed our stay very much and had a relaxed holiday in Plaka. Travelers looking for a property without animals for whatever reasons should probably consider another location, but we are animal-friendly and found the cats living near the house awesome :)

The room was very nice and clean. The breakfast was good. I liked very much the food from dinner. It was every day something else and very yummy. The staff is very nice except ADA from breakfast ( she is very rude and unpolite).

This is our second time visiting Kiani Beach and the first time with our young child. It did not disappoint. The facilities are great and looked after very well. The whole place is very clean. The restaurants offer good choices for all tastes. The staff look after you very well. The VIP upgrade is worth it if you plan on drinking cocktails (3 a day covers the cost) or using the spa or will be a heavy user of the Wi-Fi.
Kalyves Beach Hotel lies by the sea, next to the river Xydas in Kalyves, a village located in the province of Apokoronas. It features 2 swimming pools and a beach bar serving summer cocktails.

Location is great but we only stayed one night so did not use any facilities or activities. We were upgraded to a larger sea view room with balcony for no charge which was a bonus! The bar shut very promptly at 11.00 which cut off most people who had arrived from uk and were still in a q to check in, and not too pleased about it.
Featuring air conditioning, Akti Galinis is located in Kalyves Apokoronas, 11 mi from Chania Town. The accommodations comes with a TV. There is also a kitchenette, equipped with a fridge.

Sea view, 50m to the beach, amazing hosts, comfortable apartment. Going to Kalyves since 36 years and would always take this accommodation again. Thanks for everything!
Plaka is beautiful and very traditional. Excellent restaurants closeby. Amazing views across to Almyrida and also views of the mountain. We loved all of the restaurants and had great food in the four thst we went to. We had great souvlaki and moussaka. House wine in all were really good. We used the pool in Emerald apartments and just brought drinks while we were there, the view from the pool wS amazing. Very easy to get round Plaka, however we never walked back from Almyrida as it is very steep so had a taxi, 6 euros.

Plaka is a beautiful spot that has stunning views of the coast and Almyridia. It has a great selection of local restaurants and shops and is only a short walk down to the busier strip of restaurants, facilities and beaches. We had the most amazing time and the hosts could not do enough for us, it was so wonderful. A true home-from-home with special touches along the whole trip. I would highly recommend it to anyone asking. We will definitely revisit the special accommodation that we found in Plakias also, a great place to tour around the Chania region and beyond in Creta.

Plaka is a sweet little village close to beaches.
Plaka is a sweet little village close to beaches. It feels more authentic that staying in the resort areas and the restaurants are more traditional and much better prices! We found Plaka to be a very good base for exploring this part of Crete - it is only half an hour into Chania and it is also possible to drive to lots of beaches in a few minutes, one of them is only a ten minute walk away.

Plaka was the perfect location to capture views and set back from the busy tourist area of Almyrida Beach...It offers amenities such as a couple of super markets (walkable) and restaurants. It is a short drive to a main highway for easy access to beaches and roads to South side of the island. While Chania is a historic and iconic city, we were glad that we did not stay there - there are cruise ships that port there and bring in lots of tourists. Plaka is only 30 minutes from the airport and was the perfect location for our plans to hike, see ruins, experience various beaches and authentic villages.

Excellent place to stay. The owner Mr.
Excellent place to stay. The owner Mr. Panagiotis was very helpful, very kind man. He helped with all the information and everything we needed. We even got some fresh baked cake from the mum and a bottle of olive oil .The apartment was very clean and everything was in order as shown in booking .com . It was a walking distance to Almirida, there you find excellent restaurants with delicious greek foods and beaches. I will definitely come back again and its a beautiful holiday home to recommend someone who would like to visit Plaka.
Georgios was very helpful and kind with us during our stay. He has offered a lot of places, restaurants to visit. The villa is very well equiped and the location is perfect. We loved the open living room and the view to the sea. The Villa is very close to the village where there are several good restaurant. We loved the Blue Elefant. ON the morning yu can walk down to the sea for snorceling and it is just 2 min walk. It was one of our best summer holiday in Europe.
you cannot dislike how new this property is. feels like the hotel was launched very very recently.
having a full kitchen in the room is great too
rooms are very spacious, very clean
the view from standard studio is awesome
the staff is generally helpful and gave us a late checkout option which we highly appreciated as our flight was late in the evening
parking is available and has enough space.
the layout of the hotel is pretty smart and cool
Villa was perfect! Beautiful inside and out with amazing views. Local restaurants, pubs and supermarkets just a 4 minute walk and beach a walkable distance too. Locals lovely! Perfect location and great communication with the owner throughout the week we stayed. Air conditioning in every room which was a God send! Kitchen facilities top notch. Pool was just right for our family of 4. WiFi great. Villa Dionysos made our holiday perfect!
I can wholeheartedly recommend Alpha House for anyone looking for a friendly, quiet stay in beautiful surroundings. Plaka is only a short drive away from the beach, and you can easily discover the west of the island from there. Joan is a wonderful host who made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The breakfast is excellent, complete with her homemade bread, jam and local delicacies. We can't wait to return.
This was my favorite property in Crete by far it’s got nigh ceilings amazing bathroom and large room with a pool right as you walk out the patio. The hotel staff was super accommodating and friendly. There breakfast was delicious! It’s been so different than the crammed places we’ve been although those where cute as well. If your looking for more space and a big shower this place is for you!
A beautifully appointed villa, well-equipped and very spacious, with several areas for relaxation and a very nice pool. Additionally it is in a quiet location which is also very conveniently only a few minutes walk away from the square in Plaka which has 3 or 4 excellent tavernas. Highly recommended.
Fantastic hosts, wonderful villa, good location and lots to do! We were a family of 6 (‘children’ aged 21 to 18 months) and there was plenty of space for us all. The pool was enjoyed by all, and the beach at Almyrida was fantastic for the smallest one.
Very modern, clean property, good facilities, with it's own pool in a nice quiet location 12 mins walk to the Almirida beach. Perfect for relaxing with my family. The host was most welcoming and answered queries (via WhatsApp) straight away.
A beautiful, cozy and homely house with its own barbecue garden and a large terrace. The location is very good, shops, cafes and the beach are very close. The owner is very helpful and gave very good recommendations where to go.
Very nice and flexible owner and staff, super clean rooms. Best view from the rooms of the sea! Everything there what you need, simple amazing 10/10. It should be 5 star hotel! Was the best choice for my parents anniversary❤️

Nice and quiet and some great restaurants close by. I love Sun and Sea and it's a really comfortable place to stay with some great views. My friend particularly liked the swimming pools (I'm not much of a swimmer!)
