Holiday houses in Amiras

Great location. Close to everything (less than 10 min. walk to buses, port, etc...). The balcony is great and the apartment is well equipped. When we arrived, we had food and the sofa bed had been prepared for the third person. Communication had Giorgos was very effective. On the other hand, the kitchen chairs (made of metal and noisy when we were moving them) were not comfortable, and the mattresses were okay, but nothing more. We enjoyed this place.

What words should we find for this excellent house, spotless, well equipped, furnished with taste, with unobstructed views of the sea and the mountains of Lasithi. The Apostolis impeccable host,very friendly, very kind and always willing to serve us. We wish him and his family to be well and to rejoice in their home. We hope we can come back for more days

It has been a pleasure to stay in one of the villas and we were lucky enough to take a swim in the pool in late October. The villa comes with a beautiful view over Plaka Bay and has a well equipped kitchen, lovely interior and an outdoor barbecue place. There are 3 other villas nearby but there is still enough space and privacy to enjoy a fantastic vacation. grocery stores, bakery and restaurants about 10 minutes away…. George was an amazing host, has a lot of advices where to go and responded to all of our questions immediately…..

The house is full of comforts, modern and spacious, yet very cozy and romantic. Pleasant bed of 160x200cm. Sturdy mattress. We are tall people of 1.80m and 1.96m and slept well. It is very quiet in the area and the bedroom. The outdoor areas are pleasant, there is always a place to find in the sun, or in the shade, or out of the wind. It was cold for two days, 12 degrees, then we used the fireplace, also comfortable. The shower and hot water is good. Washing machine good. The kitchen is very complete, there is more crockery and supplies than I have at home. You could cook extensively and even bake a cake. It's a really quiet area. In Sitia there are multiple very good restaurants. There are few attractions nearby, but we love nature, hiking and tranquility. Other nice villages are a minimum of 1.5-2.5 hours away due to the mountain roads. Both the owner and host were friendly and quick to respond to questions.

We had a great time in Crete! The flat was spotless, clean, and as described. The pool was exactly as pictured, very pleasant and well maintained. Dimitrios is an exceptional host: available, responsive and very friendly. Thanks again for our stay, we'll be back with pleasure! I recommend it!

Super nice place in a quiet village. Beds are very comfortable and the amenities were spotless. Garden and pool are also great!

We were two families with two children and spend a week in Lena’s house. The villa is specious and comfortable. Pool was nice and clean. The house is in a remote location so you do need a car for everything, but you are in a less touristy and quiet spot of Crete and you can reach most of the top attractions within an hour drive. It’s about 15min drive to the nearest beach and 45min to Rhetymno town. It’s also easy to go to the mountains.

We had a super time with Stefani and Antonis. The villa is super, the pool was warm, the area quiet, and the view down to Herssonios and out right to the mountains was lovely. We chose it because it was walking distance to some shops and restaurants. The village is lovely and a short 5-10min walk from the villa. We were at the very end of the season, so many of the restaurants in the village closed, but we always found somewhere to eat. Herssonios is a longer walk away (maybe 30 mins) and has supermarkets, pharmacies, and restaurants galore, even after the season ended. We found the walk downhill to the town, and back uphill to the village fine, even with 2 kids. Herssonios itself didn’t hold much charm for us, but we found a taxi to Agios Nikolas (delightful), Heraklion’s museum (more engaging for us than the Athens archeological museum), and Rethimno (lovely old town, laneway cafes, long stretch of beach) filled enough of our days. And with a heated pool to return to, no complaints.
