Waterfront holiday rentals in Makry Gialos

Lovely stay with a responsive but discreet host. Being early in the season we enjoyed low crowds and peaceful, uncrowded beach and waterfront. The room was immaculate and Lisa was very helpful. A very enjoyable stay and highly recommended.

Es war einfach nur schön, in dem schön renovierten Altstadthaus Urlaub zu machen. Georgios war immer erreichbar, wollte uns sogar helfen, als wir einen Unfall mit dem Mietwagen hatten. Man wohnt sehr privat und von der Dachterrasse hat man einen wunderschönen Blick, man kann sogar die Fischer beobachten.

What a beautiful and special place! We had gorgeous views for sunrises/sunsets and it was a more quiet/relaxing place stop for our extended trip in Crete. We experienced quite a bit while we were there-Spinalonga, Elounda, Kolokithia beach (go early at 7-8 before the boats come in), Agio Nikolas(get the goat’s milk frozen yogurt) and we hiked to the windmill farm(8-10 miles) and went to the Plaka beach(bring water shoes). Lily was so helpful and pleasant and the place was perfect for our needs! Oh and we loved the food at Porta and Carob Tree;they seem touristy but the staff were pleasant (not pushy) and the food was fantastic. I hope we can come back one day!! ❤️❤️❤️

The apartment was perfect for our 1 week stay. Everything in Ierapetra is within walking distance. George’s recommendations for beaches & restaurants are very good . The apartment is close to all the Ierapetra beaches and the boardwalk that goes along the harbor. Highly recommend.

A truly fantastic place to stay. Exceptionally well stocked apartment with absolutely everything you would need for a long or short stay. Close to lots of restaurants, but well stocked kitchen if you prefer to cook. Beautiful terrace for dining, both undercover and outside. Host Viky is charming and friendly and could not be more helpful. We hope to return another time.

Très bon appartement pour visiter Ierapetra et sa région. Parking gratuit juste à côté et vie animée à côté du logement.

This was a beautiful apartment in a fantastic location. Fotini was an amazing host , friendly with great local recommendations for restaurants etc The place was exactly as advertised and the outdoor balconies great at night with a glass of wine overlooking the ocean. This apartment and host is highly recommended. We even had housekeeping service for the two days we were there. A great place to stay in Crete

Dies war mein erster Besuch auf Kreta im Winter. Und mit der Wohnung von Anthimos habe ich den perfekten Ort dafür gefunden. Nahe am Zentrum der Stadt (Agios Nikolaos) gelegen, wo zwar weniger los ist als in der touristischen Saison, wo ich aber doch jeden Abend einen netten Ort zum Essen und zur Begegnung mit der lokalen Bevölkerung fand. Die Wohnung war sauber und gemütlich und bot mir alles, was ich für diesen Aufenthalt benötigte. Genial war natürlich die unmittelbare Nähe zum Meer (Luftlinie vom Balkon zum Wasser schätzungsweise 20 Meter). Auch im Winter ist das einfach atemberaubend. Am Abend noch ein Drink auf dem Balkon oder am morgen der erste Kaffee vor dieser Kulisse. Einfach fantastisch! Danke und sehr gerne auf ein anderes Mal!

Super Unterkunft welche ich unbedingt empfehle. Wir haben uns wie zuhause gefühlt. Den Strand hatten wir sozusagen für uns. Eftychia war immer gut erreichbar, mega hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend. Als Willkommensgeschenk hat sie uns frisches Gemüse, Früchte und Wein bereitgestellt. Alles war perfekt.

We had a great stay at this Airbnb! The view of the water is absolutely beautiful. The host was incredibly helpful and even assisted us in booking our car rental for the vacation. The place was clean and well-maintained. The location is also great, with restaurants just a short walk away.

We loved our stay! The apartment is located just on top of the Taverna and about 15 meters from the beach. Within 5 minutes walk there is also a yoga location offering amazing drop in classes. From the moment we drove into the town we were warmly greeted by the lambros family. We spent the next 5 days at the beach and taverna relaxing. It was a great experience and we truly felt part of the local community for the short period we stayed. I highly recommend it if you want to relax and do less rather than more! The apartment is spacious and provides all you need for your stay, including a washing machine. The bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of space to chill.

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!

Der Aufenthalt war super. Die Lage mit dieser schönen Aussicht direkt auf das Meer war hervorragend! Wir haben uns wie zu Hause gefühlt und den Kindern hat es auch super gefallen. Wir konnten uns immer an Karolos wenden und er hat uns super Tipps für Restaurants und Unternehmungen gegeben. Wir würden sofort wiederkommen!

Wat een heerlijke plek en wat een schitterend uitzicht over zee. Tot een uur of 15:00 volop zon (gunstig in de maand mei dat wij er waren) maar altijd plek op het terras in de schaduw met zowel ligstoelen als gewone stoelen met veel verschillende kussens. Daarna kun je op het kiezelstrand gaan zitten en ook daar kan je eventueel in de schaduw zitten. Het strand wordt nauwelijks door andere mensen gebruikt omdat het buiten de bebouwde kom ligt. Na het zwemmen kan je op je eigen parkeerplaats lekker buiten douchen. Het appartement ligt op de eerste etage en heeft een eigen opgang en overal horren (dus geen last van muggen). De weg hoor je wel maar wij hebben daar geen last van gehad. Wij hebben erg goed gegeten in Koutsouros (op advies van Irene) en in Makry Gialos. Irene is een heel prettige host en reageert snel. Helaas moesten we na 5 nachten weer verder want we hadden graag nog een aantal dagen willen blijven. Een echte aanrader. Zowel dit appartement als het zuidoosten van Kreta.

Great location overlooking the harbour. Vibrant esplanade with outdoor seating area to enjoy the ambiance. The apartment was in close proximity to public parking, shops and restaurants- 2-3 minutes walk. Spacious 2 storey apartment with a nice master bedroom suite upstairs and balcony and fully functional kitchen and facilities and second bedroom on the ground floor.

We had a lovely stay at Mapia's home, everything was what we were expecting with the added bonus of meeting Mapia's parents and other members of extended family. They were all available if we had any problems (we didn't) but not intruding at all. George another family member, introduced himself and we could go to him if we had any questions. A lovely relaxing holiday, thank you Mapia 😊

Sehr liebevoller Empfang mit einer guten Flasche Weißwein. Ein traumhaftes Appartement, mit Blick aufs Meer wie von einem Schiff. Jedes Detail des täglichen Lebens ist in der Wohnung vorhanden/integriert.

Si vous voulez avoir la plus belle vue sur Sitia, vous n'avez qu'à aller dans ce logement! Le balcon est au top, dîners super agréables, appartement spacieux, bien équipé. Le livret d accueil est très explicite et donne de bons conseils. Emplacement idéal pour rayonner dans la partie orientale de la Crête. C'est parfait!

Alexandra et Maria ont été des hôtes pleines de joie et de bonne humeur. Elles ont été a nos petits soins du début à la fin de notre séjour. Nous avons séjourné dans l’appartement 1. On a profité de la petite terrasse avec accès privatif à la mer tout les jours. L’appartement ,est très propre et il n’y manque rien. Il est à 10min à pied des restaurants et du centre ville loin du tumulte touristique. La place de parking dans la cour est un vrai plus. Nous y avons passé un super séjour d’une semaine. Merci Alexandra et Maria pour votre gentillesse !

This is a gen of a place to stay. Walking distance from the port as we arrived by ferry. View was spectacular as you overlook the marina. Less than a min walk out the front door to the old town water front with all the great restaurants/bars and live music. This was a gem of a find!

Amazing place! The apartment is connected to a very good and cute cafe and bar. You walk right out of the apartments onto the ocean, it's even better than the photos. Sofia was so helpful! This is a village with no street names and we got very lost and she drove to find us and pick us up. The place was clean, friendly, and has everything you'll need.

Nice apartment. The guidebook sent by Nikos proved to be very useful and reliable.

Nous avons passé une excellente nuit chez Dafni qui est très accueillante. La petite terrasse privée avec vue mer pour le petit-déjeuner ou apéro est exceptionnelle ! La magnifique plage Voulisma est accessible à pieds depuis la chambre. Si le temps nous l’avais permis nous aurions passé plus de temps chez Dafni. On recommande vivement ce logement ! Merci pour tout !

An absolutely amazing spot in Agios Nikolaos! A spectacular balcony to relax on and take in the Mediterranean views. (Also came in handy to dry my clothes - drying rack provided - after using the washing machine.) Totally walkable to all bakeries, restaurants, shops and “the Lake.” A two minute walk from a larger grocery store which was clutch for grabbing food and some beer & wine for the balcony. A five minute walk to a local swimming dock & beach club. Emma & her mother were great hostesses! Her mother checked me into apartment and showed me all the ins & outs of the space. A complimentary bottle of wine & homemade raki greeted you in the perfect size kitchen. Even flowering vines fragrantly welcomed you home after dinner. Might be my favorite Airbnb of all time! Just a wonderful stay…and for an incredible price! Value at its best. Would live there if I could.
