Top Ancient City of Aptera Hotel Reviews

Hotel Kalyves Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic hotel, well positioned unfortunately the food could have been a bit hotter but luckily we only went B&B.... We have just got back to the UK ( 05/10/2026) and we was there when the worst weather they had ever experienced storms,torrential rail and wind for 7days... But hey the locals made it special and would definitely come back...."

JW Marriott Crete Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely beautiful property and view. The breakfast was delicious and had a huge selection. 5 star experience."

Olea Villas - Luxury villas by the sea

10/10 Excellent

"We visited this villa for a family celebration as 3 couples, it was everything described and more and was large enough to everyone to have their own personal space if needed! The attention to detail was exceptional with everything you needed to make a perfect holiday. It was a short drive (about 1.5k) to marathi for a few restaurants, this could be walked but the roads are not lit and very hilly. Vicky the cleaner was lovely and did an excellent job and we even had a beautiful warm home made sweet pie delivered for breakfast one morning. Would definitely recommend to anyone seeking that touch of luxury for a perfectly relaxing holiday"

Olea Prime - Amazing Luxury Villa

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely villa in a stunning location right on the water with amazing views. Large garden and the extras such as table tennis table and table football in the garden were a real treat. Nice pool though not very large, though plenty big enough for most. Host Alex was really helpful , fluent in English, and the 'cleaner' E, - well, she was a real treasure! Easy walk to Loutraki beach and very short drive to Marathi beach with lots of eating choices. Both were nice beaches and great for swimming. There were a few 'missing' items in the villa that would have helped a bit though not critical, and the 'welcome pack' was not really there at all. I think a few basic essentials e.g. milk, water etc. would be useful and especially if details were communicated in advance so that people knew what would be there. Overall though I would very highly recommend Olea Prime, the location and would comfortable rate it 9/10. We really didn't want to leave - I'd go back tomorrow!"

Areti Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff were lovely and helpful. Nice location. Large rooms but could do with an upgrade especially the bathroom."

White View Villa by Alex – Your Dream Holiday in the Heart of Crete

10/10 Excellent

"We had a really brilliant time at this villa. The space is fantastic and it is definitely the best equipped house we have ever visited. The pool / outdoor area is beautiful and Alex could not do enough for us. There are a few very nice tavernas very close by and the Roman ruins at Aptera are also within (slightly further) walking distance. Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday!"

Villa Neria - Four Bedroom Villa, Sleeps 8

10/10 Excellent

"Villa Neria was a beautiful Crete escape. We loved the sea views from the terrace, the private pool, and the calm setting in Megala Chorafia. A very relaxing stay."

Villa Konstantina - Three Bedroom Villa, Sleeps 6

8/10 Good

"Séjour agréable dans un petit complexe de 3 villas. Jolie vue dans un environnement encore en construction. Restaurant et petite épicerie à proximité (1.5km), en revanche il manque quelques ustensiles pour faire la cuisine ( poêle, plats, cuillère en bois...) et pour la nettoyer (le lave vaisselle ne lave rien). La piscine est nettoyée tous les jours et le linge changé une fois par semaine. Pour garer la voiture, pas de parking à proprement dit mais un endroit à l'entrée de la villa."

Souda Bay View - Five Bedroom Villa, Sleeps 12

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful views!!! Clean. Good restaurants in the area. Close to Chania and Beaches."
