House holiday rentals in Agios Nikolaos

We enjoyed a fantastic four days in Aris’ place, the views of the plateau and mountains are just beautiful! We felt right at home, and it was lovely to have Aris and his wife physically there at check in, a rarity these days! The images really don’t do this place justice, it is up some winding roads but we were prepared for that having visited the plateau in 2012. We can’t recommend staying here more, we really wish we’d have booked a longer stay! Aris had a fantastic hire car recommendation too, which was also great, and we had some amazing recommendations from them too. Thank you very much Aris!

Kindest and sweetest hosts. Went out of their way to make us feel at home and were always readily available for questions. Location is perfect and close to all the best spots. Private rooftop pool is lovely. Huge thanks for letting us check out late as there was no booking till the following day. It made all the difference in the world to our long trip home!

Snorkelling paradise! Nikos and the Stone House were both great. The house is small, but has everything you need, with the pool and BBQ area where we spent most of our time, and the steps down to the sea lead to a perfect spot for snorkelling, where we saw all sorts of types of sea life. Nikos was there with everything we needed, including recommendations of beaches / restaurants etc. Ierepetra is a much nicer town than people say and the Stone House is a 5 minute drive into town. You could walk, but we didn't. Would highly recommend!

As a couple staying here, we can recommend for a quiet and relaxing stay. Everything is as advertised: simple but clean. The terrace offers privacy and is surrounded by olive trees. Restaurants are on walking distance, as is the beach (20 min) if you can cope with the steep hill. As almost everywhere in Crete, a car comes in handy for any other trips.

Very quiet place with amazing views. We really enjoyed our time there. The house is well equipped and has everything your heart desires. In the surrounding villages are very beautiful beaches, which were hardly visited, as well as small tavernas with super tasty and cheap food. We felt very comfortable.

This place was amazing. Stunning views, private beach, everything you need to stay for a while and relax. Exactly what we were looking for.

amazing place with great views, clean pool, great amenities, 10 min drive to a very cute tourist city of Sissi. thank you!

Casa Riza was a five star home away from home. The house itself is beautifully situated in the mountains, with the most glorious views through huge (clean) glass picture windows ensuring you make the most of the crystal blue seas and cloudless skies every day. We found it to be the most stylish home with immaculately maintained amenities, flowers on the coffee table (changed halfway through our stay!) - and it was all exceptionally clean and welcoming. Decoratively it was mix of old and new, making it homely and perfectly functional for a family of four. The pool was cold - but that didn’t stop the kids using it several times a day. Our hosts were amazing - we had tonnes of helpful, local recommendations and a food shop done for us with everything we needed, plus treats like Easter eggs for the kids and local jams and honeys - all laid out when we arrived. If you’re planning a trip to Crete I highly recommend staying here, a visit to Milonas gorge and Tersa beach also 5 star! ♥️

Theodora’s apartment is hidden gem in Agios Nikolaos. During our stay we realized, there is no better location for families with small kids. It’s right next to beach bar with great beach, in our opinion best within the city and there is even kids playground right next to it. You have 6-7 great local restaurants within 5mins walk + 2 grocery shops. Location is very quiet. Apartment is very well equipped with all you need for shorter or even longer stay (we stayed 1month). Theodora was very friendly, responsive and helpful with anything we needed. We can only recommend her and her apartment to anyone who wants to enjoy perfect vacation. Efcharisto Theodora 👍🏻

We loved our stay in Elounda, lots to explore nearby in plaka and ayios nicholaos. Alex’s apartment is a lovely space and great to work from remotely if you’re single and traveling. The BEST restaurant in Crete is 18 min drive in the village of Kroustos called Taverna Stavrakakis! Definitely go there

The apartment is very centrally located in the village, on foot you are less than 10 minutes away from the beautiful, somewhat crowded sandy beach; or the beautiful natural beach with stone sand, trees and palm trees; Chris is a super good host, always there when you need him and yet you had your privacy. We'd love to come back

It was comfortable and relaxing. The glass of the coffee pot had a crack. I let them know and a new pot was brought to us immediately. Thank you for that and for the nice accommodation

Our three day stay in Alexandros' place was amazing. First of all, everything is as described in the page and even has more! Alexandros and Sofia left us a lovely note and welcome drinks, fruit and snacks! Comfortable beds, modern renovation, close free parking and very close to the centre of the lovely village of Kritsa, a great base to explore the surrounding area for those who want a smaller place to do so. We were lucky enough to be in Alexandros' place during Easter, and could experience fully the festive atmosphere of Kritsa, with processions, bonfires and celebrations, and Alexandros was so kind as to invite us to an Easter barbecue, which was a great experience for which we will be forever thankful. Highly recommend for those who want a quiet, beautiful yet central base to explore the Agios Nikolaos area.

Rafaela and her mother, Mary, were wonderful hosts! It was the first place that truly felt like home. They generously shared food, fresh fruit, and delicious homemade cookies (which I couldn’t resist asking for more of!). If we hadn’t stayed at their place, our trip wouldn’t have been nearly as warm and memorable. The beach nearby was more beautiful and walkable than any we visited in Crete. There were also amazing restaurants just around the corner. There are so many great things to say, but words can’t truly capture the experience—you have to feel it for yourself. We will definitely be back!

The place was exactly as described. Very friendly landlady. Requests were met. An earlier check-in was possible without any problems. Messages were answered quickly and kindly

There were two of us on site for a total of five nights. The place is fantastic and is right in a beautiful bay with a beautiful beach. For two people, the accommodation is completely sufficient and well equipped from the place. On the beach is a restaurant with delicious Greek food at fair prices. The bay is great for snorkeling and swimming, as the sea is very quiet most of the time. If you want to experience more than spending the day by the sea, you are definitely dependent on a car, which is normal for Crete. Christina as a host was very warm, accommodating and helpful. If you had any questions, they were promptly answered via text message. I can only recommend the property and Christina as a host to anyone.

We stayed 14 days in the old village of Sykologos and felt completely comfortable. We didn't miss anything, the decor is tasteful and high quality. Shortly after we arrived , Andreas greeted us kindly with fresh bread and pastries. He guided us through his house and showed us around and explained everything. There were delicious,local delicacies in the fridge. We've never had anything like this! We communicated with Andreas from time to time during our stay. He is very attentive and tries to make sure his guests don't miss anything. You have to be aware that you always need a car to get to the beautiful beaches and tavernas. But it's worth it! If you appreciate the peace ,the solitude and the still real Greece with its people and habits, this is the place to be! We will be back!

The house is fantastic - it’s comfortable, cute, and in a great location. It’s well stocked / supplied, and the courtyard is nice for an early morning / evening hang-out. If you haven’t stayed in a traditional-style house before, it’s a great opportunity to do so. Eleni is lovely and was really helpful - we had an issue with the wifi & she was in touch to fix it right away. Kavousi is a great place to stay in its own right, or to base yourself if you’re adventuring around east Crete.

This place is very remote, but with 50m from the sea it is really a magical place. Unfortunately, we only spent 5 nights there, but would have preferred to stay longer. The house itself is not so special, but the location absolutely is. With 100% privacy, you are 50 m from the sea with only a few houses nearby that are certainly not permanently occupied. With Sitia 15m away, you are also back in the inhabited world, with all the amenities available. In short, highly recommended if you like peace and space. Kallia is really a treasure, the house is tip top, and she even cooked for us the first night because we hadn't done any shopping yet. Will definitely come back

This was our favourite stay of the trip. The place is idyllic, with a private swimming area only a few steps away. The house is decorated tastefully and gives a really nice indoor-outdoor feeling with the large patio and sliding doors. The kitchen is extremely well-stocked with everything you might need to cook, including well-sharpened knives! Manolis brought us some fresh vegetables from the farm, which were delicious. Everything about the place is thoughtful and we loved our stay there. It is ideal for a trip where you want to spend a lot of time relaxing at the house and hanging out, it is so nice we barely wanted to leave!

Andreas house was a great find! What a beautiful outlook- views over the bay and the marina with the sun rising over the villa in the morning and cool, shady balconies in the afternoon and evening. It is a 2 minute walk from a small beach with lovely cafe/bar and 2 tavernas. A few hundred metres further is the sandy Almyros beach. The centre of Agios is about a 15/20 minute walk and the bus station is also in walking distance. Lots of places to visit by bus - very easy to use and cheap too! We discovered the free city bus on the last day there! The villa is perfect for a couple but could accommodate more than 2. Very clean with a washing machine which meant we were able to travel light with a small cabin bag each. Andreas was an attentive and helpful host who was happy to provide useful local information. I would be happy to recommend this property.

This was my third stay in Mary's beautiful village house. It is a magical experience to step back in time 100 years, but with fast and reliable WiFi, strong A/C (or, for us in mid-April, heat) and modern plumbing. Everything works perfectly. The location is ideal for exploring Eastern Crete by car, with great hiking options and fascinating archaeological sites. There are a couple of good tavernas in the village within walking distance and my favorite taverna (after 9 visits), Porto Kanaki in Pachia Ammos within an easy 5 minute drive. Mary herself is wonderful, extremely responsive and helpful. I love her place and hope to come again for a 4th visit someday.

This place completely exceeded our expectations! It’s absolutely stunning, with a breathtaking, priceless view that made our stay unforgettable. The hosts were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and went out of their way to make sure we felt comfortable and accommodated. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience — highly recommended!

My wife and stayed at Yayas cosy house for 7 nights having spent some 3 nights in Chania then 4 nights in Piskopiano. Nikolas is a fantastic host and his house is one of the best holiday homes we’ve stayed in. The accommodation has two bedrooms and could easily accommodate a family of four. Yayas house is very well equipped with everything we could ever need for our stay. We spent lazy mornings and evenings in the courtyard and rear garden having coffee or wine and reading our books. This is a place to unwind and relax. A car is essential and there are many beaches within easy reach, some much more busy than others but we were able to find several smaller beaches which were very quiet and peaceful. Neapoli is a 2 minute drive away and we visited almost everyday to buy cakes and have a coffee at the wonderful bakery in the main ‘square’. Nikolas recommended several tavernas within 5 minutes drive. All were excellent with traditional food at great prices. We would definitely recommend.
