Apartment holiday rentals in Kalamaki Beach

This apartment was just a dream! As soon as we entered, we were delighted with the stylish and lovingly designed interior – modern, thoughtful and with a touch of Cretan elegance. Every detail was coordinated, it immediately felt like a home, just nicer! A very special highlight were the hosts Eleni and Lena. So warm, accommodating and authentic – we felt welcome from the first minute. Their recommendations for restaurants, beaches and excursions were worth gold. You can easily tell how much love they have in this apartment. Another big plus was the daily housekeeping – discreet, thorough and absolutely reliable. It was wonderful to return to a freshly tidy and clean place every day. And then... the view! Breathtaking is almost too weak – the view over the sea on Plakias was simply magical!

We had a wonderful stay here with our baby. As we were there in April, the local tavernas weren’t open yet but we received great recommendations for places a short driving distance away. Even on a rainy day it was peaceful to watch the waves from our apartment.

Great location! Right on the beach. A couple flights of stairs for us older people might have been tough but George met us and carried our luggage up for us!

We had a great stay! The appartment is small, but has everything you need. We received great recommendations from Maria and loved the pastries from Costa's bakery! Some restaurants, a supermarket and the beach are in walking distance. If you have a rental, it's easy to find a parkingspot close to the appartment.

Manos has really considered every piece of furniture and item in the apartment. The place is very comfortable and beautiful and there is everything you might need during your stay. Bed and pillows very super comfortable and the neighbourhood pleasantly quiet during night time. We slept very well. Kitchen has the amenities you might need. It was very nice to have some snacks, drinks and breakfast items ready. We felt very welcome. 5 stars easily.

I love the lady of the reception, she is great. The Appartment is basic but ok

We stayed less than a week in the beautiful garden paradise of Tina & Takis. It was absolutely fantastic, the place is wonderful with views across the valley to the sea and surrounded by flowers and plants. The apartment is very nice even in the rain, it is spacious, warm, lovingly furnished and offers everything you need to cook and feel good. Check-in was easy and flexible even though we were a little late. Both were great hosts, with a lot of creative energy and great recommendations for exploring the area. In addition, both speak perfect German (Tina is also a native speaker), so communication was very easy for us. Tina gave us homemade cakes to say goodbye and we really had a heavy heart to leave the apartment and Crete again. All the more, we hope to come back soon!

I had a great time in the place and felt very comfortable! It was very clean and the host is very friendly and thoughtful. The room is a 2-minute walk from the sea and restaurants. Will be back!😊

Andreas and Fontini are really Superhosts. I felt like home from the first moment and this does not change for the whole stay on this place. Thank you for being yor guest. Excellent place!! Regards Wolfgang.

A wonderful week at the end of the season. Peaceful, well equipped and great views. Lovely host, felt so welcome. Perfect.

The Airbnb was very clean and the reception was very friendly. We really liked the pool. The apartment was also very cozy. On the positive side, the owner was very helpful and always answered our questions we asked him. The location is very quiet and the location is perfect as it is completely central in the middle of the island and so you can look at everything from west to east by car. All in all, this was the best Airbnb I've ever been to, just looking at the service

Yorgo's place has very good location: is close 5-7 min to the beach, very close to Backarei, several supermarket, good taverna. This is not directly in Retimno, but very well accessible in 10 minutes by bus or 2 km with a nice walk along the promenade along the beach promenade with many restaurants. The apartment itself is spacious and well equipped(larger fridge, stove, dishwashing and washing machine,mosquito net in every window, air conditioning). This includes a balcony where you could sit in the evening and a small pool with lots of water toys. Yourgos and his daughter are also very nice people. Yourgos always responds quickly, gives good tips and even ended up giving us traditional Greek sweets. Thank you. We can recommend Yougos Appartament.

Very nice apartment in a nice and quiet location with easy access to the highways in order to explore the beautiful Crete. The host was very helpful, providing recommendations and casually checking in and meeting our needs. Highly recommended!

Vasilis’s house is the perfect spot if you’re looking for a very clean and organized home, close to the airport and also close to the center of Heraklion. Private and extremely accessible, I definitely recommend it!

The place was all it said it was chistos brother was our host and he was exceptionally helpful we were given free coffee and water every day and any problems we had were soon rectified. One downside is that you have to walk downhill into town which means an uphill walk home im 73 and i managed would go back again if ever over south of island. Could do with escalator for homeward journey Jack from Southport UK.

For the money we paid, we couldn't ask for more. Heraklion is my home town and finding my way round wasn't going to be an issue, but even if I was an unaware foreigner on his first visit there I wouldn't be troubled whatsoever. George was always available on the phone and helpful. The studio was spotless and functional as quoted in the advert. The immersion heater would heat the water within minutes, while the air-condition was handy. The main advantage of this place though is its location: there is everything you need right at your feet and if you are the pedantic kind of tourist the choice laid out in front of you will put your mind to rest. Within less than half a mile radius you have more bars, cafeterias, restaurants and shops your palate can handle. Only question is... do you know where you are going? I am Greek, so I do. Thank you George, that was great! Michael

We liked the apartment, especially the terrace with the hot tub. The amenities were good. Chrysa is a very nice hostess. We felt very comfortable.

We enjoyed our stay at Katerina's place. The accommodation was spotless, very well equipped, very pretty, nothing was missing, it was even better than at the hotel. Katerina was always very responsive to us when needed and the small dishes prepared by her family were delicious. Regarding the location, there are very nice beaches less than 20 min away, the small tourist village of Panormo as well as the "highway" that crosses the island from east to west are 10 min from the accommodation. I recommend this place with my eyes closed!

Awesome place - Jacuzzi helps! Bed is nice and comfy, aircon works nicely and cooker and fridge is nice. It’s down the road from town a bus ride away. Toilet and shower is wetroom is nice. You have a great view of beach from the north side balcony and nice moon lit view of from the south side (whilst in the jacuzzi). It’s a good place to get transport links from the city (buses are all over the place). Stelios was very responsive and helpful with recommendations With restaurants and places to find a drink. Deffo would come back 10/10 🇬🇧🇬🇷

We were two couples traveling to Crete and this home was lovely for us. It would also be a great space for a family. The washer/dryer was so nice and convenient. All the spaces were clean and it was nice to walk downtown and enjoy the markets and shops. We really loved staying at Casa Luna.

Beautiful place with incredible views. Spotlessly clean and well equipped. Hot tub on balcony was amazing!!

Very nice apartments good location, great communication with the landlord, absolutely clean!

Amazing view from the sauna and jacuzzi. Super cozy place and was super clean as well. The host was super helpful and was really flexible when we had to make adjustments to our plans during our stay. Highly recommend staying here!

overally we had a very nice stay and the host was very accommodating. I would recommend this to anyone staying in the area!
