Apartment holiday rentals in Apothikes

Quite simply one of the best places I’ve stayed on AirBnB, which is over a long time. The place is just about perfect, relaxed atmosphere, calm gardens - great cottage with superb views. A pool that they take great pride in (especially Nikolas’s father - and rightly so. He seemed genuinely upset when Sahara sand blew over but diligently went about getting it back to his exceptionally high standard). We arrived late, about 10:30 to a warm welcome and the chef happy to make us anything from the menu, the food is as good as anywhere locally. Very considered, well presented and served with genuine love. Everyone wanted to check my children were happy, and that all was well. Take a car so you can explore the beaches on the west of the island and we took a yacht for a day trip from Chania harbour, which was excellent fun. Really very good place Nikolas has built, his father - who is always around - is proud of his son and daughter, and I understand entirely why.

We loved our stay and would definitely stay again! The apartment looks just like the photos and is really well maintained and immaculately clean. Plus they’ve also thought of everything, it’s really well equipped. The location is great, just a couple of minutes walk to all the old town restaurants and bars. Plus the rooftop is a real sun trap in the afternoon, we loved hanging out by the pool.

Great place. Would book again. Very close to the beach.

This is a great apartment to stay if you are looking for somewhere on the outskirts of Chania. Easy accessible road if renting a car with local supermarkets around. It is a good 30 min walk into the old town or can take a local bus, however that didn’t bother us 😉 Maria and the team were very helpful throughout and communicated excellently. We like to thank them for their accommodation!

Great little pad at Elafonisi, and pretty much the closest you can be to the beach - which is about 7 minutes walk from all the accommodation and town. Lovely and peaceful – even though it was central it was tucked away and felt remote. Could have been stocked a bit better - only enough for 1 1/2 coffees, no tea. Great fridge/freezer but no glasses or plates - though they delivered some when I asked. As it's a great spot to relax after your beach time. Would recommend.

We had a great stay here. The rooms and deck were very clean and beautiful. The room is right across from the small restaurant and bar, which was extremely convenient for us (the restaurant and cocktails are also so good and the staff is so friendly - completely recommend those as well). You also get access to the beach and sun beds for free, and it’s about a 10 second walk to the beach. It’s also a very easy walk to the Main Street with lots of other restaurants and shopping options. The only issue we had was getting our jacuzzi to work, though the staff was very responsive and tried to assist. Would 100% recommend staying here and would definitely do so again.

Lovely apartment, good location and great view. the ocean waves put us to sleep well. thanks to Simon for the experience.

A wonderful stay, surrounded by the soothing sounds of birds and nature. The apartment is beautifully decorated and everything is of very high quality, which made our experience even more enjoyable. The terrace is simply outstanding: very spacious, perfectly arranged, and the cherry on top, a jacuzzi with an incredible view over the bay and the mountains. We were even lucky enough to enjoy some stunning sunsets from there. Stella is a lovely host, very attentive and responsive. Her recommendations were perfectly suited to our needs. We had a truly peaceful time in a small village nestled in the mountains, with a breathtaking view, it’s hard to find any better view. We’ll definitely be back for our next trip to Crete!

Perfect place to stay! Absolutely no negatives at all! We would love to come back one day

We loved our stay at Nomas! It was a beautiful space to be able to come back to after various activities in the city. Andreas was very nice and hospitable, always asking if we needed anything and giving us various recommendations. Should we ever return to Crete we will look to see if Nomas is available to stay.

Thanks Hanne for having us. We had a lovely stay at the flat and enjoyed being so close to the beach and great restaurants. Hanne was also a very kind, welcoming and attentive host. We will be back! Joe

Delighted with our stay in Crete at Casa Leone Suites! We were hosted very well by Nikoç, the accommodation is perfect: very clean, spacious, beautiful pool and recent infrastructure (2019). The setting is very well maintained and landscaped. Our balcony offered a ball overlooking the sea and the mountain, it was a nice surprise. Close to Chania and ideal for visiting the West of Crete. Everything was compliant, you can rely on the listing description and photos, we would definitely recommend this place. Thank you for everything!

This place is truly special. We enjoyed our time here so much. George’s parents-George and Alexandra were the best! Always a warm and friendly greeting. They were so kind and helpful. Their dog was also super sweet. They really made us feel at home. The place was great. Very comfortable and had everything we needed for a great stay. The view was to die for!! Just spectacular. Every morning waking up and looking out the window made you feel such a sense of peace. The location was fabulous. Close to so many wonderful restaurants and the most beautiful beaches. In case you can’t tell, we totally loved our stay. You will not be disappointed with this lovely little gem. Highly recommend!

Very nice place, felt like home. Had everything you needed, including a friendly dog and some cats. The house is well equipped with all amenities, everything was perfect!

Very Happy with my Stay. I highly recommend this beautiful location.

The location is about a 15-20 min walk from the old city center in a quiet area. At night walking back, the streets can be pretty empty as you go farther away from the old city center. The bed and blanket is very comfortable. Clean, spacious, and lovely space with full amenities as described. Litsa is very friendly and responsive. She sweetly offerred drinks and food throughout my stay. Wifi is good. Movable showerhead has weak water pressure, but no problem with switching between hot and cold water. I would recommend.

This was such a pleasant and wonderful stay for us. The host was so clear with instructions and was lovely when we ran into him after our swim at the beach. We really enjoyed our two days here.

Probably one of the most amazing places you’ll stay anywhere! The attention to detail when the unit was remodeled, and the furnishings and extras added to make your stay comfortable, are incredible. It is located right in the middle of a vibrant area full of outdoor restaurants, music, and shopping. The hosts are extremely responsive, we were late getting in but that was not a problem. During our stay we unfortunately encountered one of the red dust storms that Chania periodically receives, but they came the next day and cleaned the outer areas. We were lucky with the parking the first three nights, but for some reason the fourth night was a challenge however we did eventually find a garage about 15 minutes away. Also, I would not recommend the unit for younger children or someone unsteady on their feet as the stairs in the unit are quite steep especially to the roof, and there is no washing machine though a laundromat is just a few minutes walk. Would absolutely stay again!

Mike was great from the start…we booked last minute and he texted me immediately. He made everything very easy and was extremely friendly when we got there to check in. He showed us everything about the apartment that we needed to know and gave us lots of tips on where to go to eat and to see the best sites. The rooftop space was beautiful and the apartment was very close to everything in the area… We were able to walk to everything! I would definitely recommend staying there… Thank you, Mike!

Great stay, great location, great views. Very close to many bars and restaurants. Not too noisy at night. The only slightly negative aspect was the shower. Basically made the entire floor flooded. Overall, i would recommend the place and would definitely return.

Hidden gem! Loved this home, literally two minute walk to Golden Beach. Katerina is so sweet (she met us in-person, had local restaurant recommendations, and even provided a bottle of wine). The home was perfect for our group of 6 (great value for the money, too). Would 100% come again!

Beautiful place and great host

Andreas was a friendly and responsive host who answered our questions promptly. The flat was well equipped and in an excellent location very close to the old town. We would definitely stay again when next back in Chania!

Great experience!! We stayed at this wonderful Airbnb and our expectations were really exceeded. The place was spotless, comfortable and very well cared for – but what really made the difference was the staff. From the first moment, we were greeted with kindness, a smile and authentic hospitality. They were always available for whatever we needed, willing to help with joy and good mood. You didn't just feel like a visitor – you felt like a guest! The feeling of warmth and respect they showed us made our stay truly unforgettable. Such service is rare and deserves to be recognized. We highly recommend it and we will definitely be back! 🙌✨
