Holiday houses in Psari Forada

We enjoyed a fantastic four days in Aris’ place, the views of the plateau and mountains are just beautiful! We felt right at home, and it was lovely to have Aris and his wife physically there at check in, a rarity these days! The images really don’t do this place justice, it is up some winding roads but we were prepared for that having visited the plateau in 2012. We can’t recommend staying here more, we really wish we’d have booked a longer stay! Aris had a fantastic hire car recommendation too, which was also great, and we had some amazing recommendations from them too. Thank you very much Aris!

The perfect apartment! The apartment was very nice, stylish and above all practically furnished. There was nothing missing. We stayed there for 1 week with our 2 small children and felt like at home. The beds were cozy and you can completely darken everything. In the morning you can only hear the birds and chickens. Very idyllic. In addition, there were many cozy seating outside. The village of sidonia is small and authentic. We were there at the end of April and almost had the beach to ourselves. There are 2 very tasty tavernas and a supermarket. If you want to be quiet and away from ordinary tourism, this is the place to be. We spent great days and can fully recommend it. Maria is a very caring host and it was easy to communicate with.

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

We had a wonderful time with great hosts in Sidonia. The location of Stella's Beach House could not be better, right on the sea, at the end of the small village. In the house you will find everything exactly as in the pictures, everything is clean, well furnished and equipped. Questions were answered immediately, we felt well taken care of. The view from the bedrooms on the upper floor is sensational. We can fully recommend the hosts and the house. If you are looking for peace, far away from tourism, this is the place to be. Thank you!

We had an indescribably beautiful time in the windmill. The view and the garden are stunning. Everything is prepared with so much attention to detail. We lacked nothing. In the village you can eat very well. You're just comfortable. We are happy that we were allowed to be there. If you're looking for something special, highly recommend this place.

Natura Cottages is nothing short of magical! Tucked away in the hills behind the seaside village of Makris Gialos, this tiny community of rustic cottages, cut through with worn stone paths and flowering gardens, is as peaceful a haven as anyone could ask for. The cottages themselves are beautifully decorated and thoughtfully laid out to make the most of limited space, with a cozy but in no way cramped feel. Emma and her team are welcoming, communicative, and full of local recommendations. And the best perk of all—at the entrance to the cottages is the trail head for the stunning hike up through Pefki Gorge and on to the village of Pefki, a must for anyone who's physically up to a vigorous walk!

Beautiful place, matches the pictures. The apartment is very clean and the furniture and dishes etc. are as good as new. We were provided with a welcome basket with some Cretan snacks, as well as some honey and wine from Manolis & Despina. The refrigerator was also filled with bread, cold cuts, fruit and water. The property is located a bit off the city center but is relatively quick to reach by car. Only the road to the house is easy to overlook on the first approach and the way up is a bit bumpy. Once at the top, you can't complain about an absolutely fantastic view of the sea and the bay opposite, as well as the tranquility. I highly recommend this place to everyone. Σας ευχαριστούμε και πάλι για την φιλοξενία σας. Thank you again for your hospitality.

Where to even start with how wonderful our stay was here? Not only is the flat absolutely breathtaking (the photos do not do justice) - everything in the living space is curated for comfort and ease. A really well designed bespoke home. AND we had our lunches made for us every single day by our hosts’s parents-in-law (including dessert!!) we were invited to pick our own lemons/ tomato’s/ grapefruit and Evi drove several hours out her day to deliver me a yoga mat. This is the perfect retreat to get away from the city and live life surrounded by a beautiful community of warm hearted people. We have been deeply touched by this trip- thank you for the love 💓
