Guesthouse in Kefali
4.86 out of 5 average rating, 59 reviewsVelanos villas(villa Lito) 15min to Elafonisi
This place is a real gem. we couldn't bring ourselves to leave so we booked 3 more nights. Absolutely amazing. The view is stunning, the quietness so delicious, Tzeni is an incredible host, responsive, welcoming and do caring about this place that she and her husband built. The sofa bed wasn't so comfortable, but Tzeni was very quick at trying to find solutions for us. I highly recommend and would go back anytime.
Guesthouse in Daratsos
4.63 out of 5 average rating, 38 reviewsApartment 2 or 3 beds with pool close to the Sea
Christos is a great guy! He gave us free dancing lessons at his dance studio which was very fun. He also let us use some of the facilities at his hotel which was awesome. I will say that the beds in the apartment are very uncomfortable and can be hard to sleep on but that is the only downside to the apartment and otherwise it is worth the money we paid .
Guesthouse in GR
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 49 reviewsSylvia's Guest House
We loved enjoying the back terrace with the dogs (especially the little old one) and having our lunch with their company. In the evening, the cats joined us for an aperitif in the courtyard. Very relaxing. We weren't sure if we could explore the surrounding area.
Guesthouse in Kastri
4.6 out of 5 average rating, 5 reviewsPAN apartment with sea view and sun terrace
I had a wonderful 3-week stay in Kastri! Charlotte was so helpful with arranging a car and giving tips for the area. The apartment is beautiful and well-appointed, it had everything I needed. The views and village are really quite special.
Guesthouse in Kamilari
4.79 out of 5 average rating, 48 reviewsCozy apartments near the sea
We had a very nice stay at Manolis house and a good communication before we arrived. Manolis and his wife are very kind and easy to communicate with, speaks mainly german but also som english. It is a nice silent spot in rural surroundings but with a short drive to the beach and nearby towns for shopping. The Minoic palace Festos is visible from the garden.
Guesthouse in Drapanias
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 73 reviewsElia Guesthouse
Great place with a beautiful garden and close to many quiet beaches at the Kissamos Bay. The hosts were so kind and helpful, shared delicious food with us, looked after us very well. They also provided bikes which we used every day. Hugely recommended! Would love to come back some day.
Guesthouse in Ferma
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 49 reviewsAn architect's guesthouse
We spent a very pleasant week in Aliki and Niko's little guesthouse. The environment is superb, very nice sea view, surrounded by nature, surrounded by olive trees, vines, carob trees. It's quiet and relaxing. The surrounding beaches and coves are superb. Aliki and Niko are very warm, welcoming and discreet. Aliki gave us some great tips. The outdoor space, the patio with its living room with a fan is lovely. We had our breakfasts and lunches there. The outdoor kitchen is well appointed and very convenient. The outdoor shower is very pleasant. A small indoor kitchen and beautiful bathroom on the ground floor and the living room and sleeping area are on the 1st floor. We really appreciated the tranquility of the place. Thanks Aliki and Nico.
Guesthouse in Heraklion
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 88 reviewsRomantic Minoan Villa "FILOXENIA"
If you’re looking for a peaceful, relaxing, and comfortable place to stay while vacationing in Crete, this is your place. The house is a blend of modern amenities with traditional architecture. Outside you are surrounded by the most beautiful and tranquil garden to recharge the mind, body and soul. Flowers and fruit trees galore. The house itself would be an enjoyable vacation but if you want to explore Crete and leave the property, transportation to the city and beach is quick and accessible. Or you can explore the village of Archanes by foot and enjoy great restaurants, cafes, markets and bakeries while greeted by friendly locals. Maria is the icing on the cake. She’s one of the most caring and beautiful people you’ll ever meet. She goes above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable from the moment she greets you. She proudly gives you a history of Crete, recommendations, always smiling and answering any questions. I can’t wait to return next year!

Guesthouse in Nea Alikarnassos
5 out of 5 average rating, 4 reviewsTiny murphy bed appartment
Nice and clean apartment, very easy to find a parking spot, many supermarkets and restaurants in the area, the location is very good. No problems encountered during my 6 months stay.
Guesthouse in Kenourgio Chorio
Hercules Traditional Suites (30 sq)
Alex and Kostas's place is just gorgeous. Alex is a very courteous and great host. I felt very comfortable and welcome with him during that time. I would recommend anyone to book the accommodation and convince themselves. From the location, you don't go wrong, as it is generally recommended to book a rental car, but you can park it in the immediate vicinity. Rethymnon and Matala are about 1.5 hours away, if you want to go to Chania or Samaria gorge you have to drive up to 3 hours. Still, I had a great time. In the evening you can still relax in the courtyard and end the evening. Thanks again to Alex and his great place. Always happy
Guesthouse in Pitsidia
5 out of 5 average rating, 3 reviewsApartment Minos invites to relax!
Martina and Nikos are wonderful hosts, very welcoming and quick to give recommendations about nearby restaurants or beaches. There are so many great little towns and corners near pitsidia, its a perfect base for exploring. Would recommend to all!
Guesthouse in Plaka
5 out of 5 average rating, 5 reviews1-bedroom spacious flat in a fantastic location.
This was seriously the most welcoming experience we've had on Airbnb. End to end perfect. A warm host that was always available when needed, a house equipped with everything you can ever need during a short trip plus a few beers and local produce for free to get you started, an amazing shared swimming pool, quietness, a house that keeps cool even during 40 degree summer days, a great location near the beach by car. We truly recommend this place and would surely visit again.
Private room in Lentas
4.89 out of 5 average rating, 9 reviewsRoom in quiet natural environment with patio ("Maria")
If you found this, don’t look any further! If you like real quiet, real starry skies, real individuality that’s your place.you are close to Lentas, which is a small but charmingly touristy place, and on the other side to the perfect Tripitis beach, which you will discover after climbing down an oleander filled gorge. Both in walking distance of beautiful 3km or per car. The rooms are modern and functional, with shared kitchen and bathrooms, Eva is the very nice and communicative singer/host who might teach you how to write a song about your experiences ;) I even canceled another booking after I found this jewel, go and grab it!
Guesthouse in Mournies
5 out of 5 average rating, 18 reviewsMaria's Peaceful Nest 2
Maria was always a very kind and helpful host. The place was easily accessible, marked on the maps and the location was exactly as described in the photos. Recommended experience for all those looking for a quiet location and great for travel in and out of the Chania area.

Julie was incredibly welcoming and helpful getting to her place and recommending some great places to eat dinner and have coffee in the morning. The place was immaculate and very comfortable.
Private room in Palaiochora, Pachia Ammos
4.88 out of 5 average rating, 58 reviewsSand Lily
It was a very relaxing stay at Andreas place. The beach is just across the street, the supermarket is 100 m away, and there are plenty of restaurants around. Our aim was mostly spend time at the beach, so it was very convenient. I think this is a great option for solo travelers because you can leave all your valuables in the room while staying at the beach. In addition, there are plenty of other beaches in Palaiochora which you can reach on foot or rent a bike. Don't be afraid of the snack bar, there is no smell of cooking anywhere on the territory, it works from 9 to 5 pm, and it's peaceful and quiet in the evening. Andreas allowed us to sit at the bar tables when the restaurant was not working, and we could enjoy the sea view and sunset from there. Additionally, we had our own table outside facing the beach. Andreas was super friendly, always available, and very helpful. We also enjoyed the E4 walking path from Palaiochora to Sougia and taking the ferry back.
Guesthouse in Kournas
5 out of 5 average rating, 4 reviewsWest Luxury Villa-private pool
This was the nicest Airbnb I've ever stayed in! To note, though, that this review is for the East Villa, as we had booked the West Villa, but the host kindly offered to switch us. The patio area of the East Villa looks nicer than the West Villa, as it's bigger and has a breathtaking view of the ocean. The villas are only a few months old, and everything was spotless. Mary was always responsive, which was crucial as we had booked last minute. She arranged for a contact person to meet us at a location nearby, who then led us to the villa. The location is a bit remote, but it's close to Lake Kournas and completely private. The village of Kournas is also nearby, and Chania is about an hour away. It was so comfortable that I didn't want to leave! The highlights for me were the view, the pool, the rainfall shower, and the pillows. There was also a bottle of wine in the fridge, and even though we broke something at the place, they were very polite and didn't mind at all. Truly a dream!
