Holiday Rentals in Plaka

"This was our first week of 4 in Crete and what a start! All our places we stay have a lot to live up to! George and Nana were the perfect hosts and the accommodation was just as we hoped for and wanted. We we out and about everyday enjoying the surrounding area, travelling as far as the south coast and enjoying many walks and beaches. Lots of places to eat out but the apartment kitchen was so well equipped that it was a pleasure to eat in too! Thanks for the homemade raki, the gift and a bottle...

"Fantastic location for young families that want to relax by the pool / pebbled beach. Lots of parking, good restaurant on site, and really friendly staff who arranged a baby cot and chair well before we checked in! Only thing is the rooms have a slightly dated decor. Very small tvs and old style coffee filter. Might benefit from a small upgrade to nespresso and slightly better entertainment system. But these are minor issues. If you have an ocean view suite, you can spend lots of happy hours on...

"Very clean and cozy place. Front desk people are very professional and helpful ! Highly recommended !"

"Really nice hotel with friendly staff. Plenty of options to eat out nearby and within walking distance to the town centre."

"Gorgeous hotel and pool area, rooms were spotless and modern, location was good for being close to the beach but there wasn’t a great deal going on around the hotel (I.e. restaurant or bars nearby) and the pool bar closed at 6pm, stopping serving food at 5.15. "

Seasonal outdoor pool, open 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM, pool umbrellas

"Rooms need update but everything was excellent!! Staff and amenities were the best!!"

Seasonal outdoor pool, open 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, pool loungers

"Staff were very courteous and provided a warm greeting and assistance & advice throughout our stay, as required. Made for a lovely stay "

"Excellent appartment. Our hosts were wonderful."

"We stayed in an ocean view room and the view was beautiful. Nice breeze. Location is high up with steep slopes, not feasible for older and those with bad backs. Property has elevator to avoid the slope but is hard to find. Definitely helpful once it is found. Interior could use some upgrades. But it was clean and comfortable enough. Enjoyed my stay. "

"What an amazing hotel run by the most hard working, friendly and helpful people. All of the staff were brilliant, the hotel is super clean, with themed nights, differnt food which has so much choice. We stayed as 3 chikdren and 2 adults. We are plnat based adults which made it a little harder with not mcuh protien to eat but for a week we managed. They tried hard to accomodate but on 2 days we found it hard to be full up. We had alerted them to our food needs months before. Hotel quiet at night...

"This property is elegantly beautiful. The staff was exceptional especially Elena who runs the front desk. She seems to work around the clock and she is the most friendly, gracious & most accommodating to all of her guests. Me and my husband felt like we were her only guests by the way she attended to us. She went above & beyond to help us with whatever questions we had. This property is highly recommended."

"We chose this villa based on the amazing reviews from previous guests - and now we'll add our own. The location of the Villa is perfect high on the cliffs looking out over the sea. It feels remote, but it is only two minutes from Kefalas with a couple of tavernas and a mini market and 20 minutes drive from Georgioupoli and Almyrida with more amenities. The villa and grounds are both of a good size, with a superb infinity pool and the BBQ house/outdoor kitchen is a great addition. Being so high...

"The hotel is beautifully designed and maintained. The staff is wonderful and very helpful. The location was quite a shock as the hotel is situated in a 2 km stretch of restaurants, souvenir shops, and noisy clubs across from the beach. We would have preferred a quaint setting in the Old Town."

"Great location! Clean apartments! I highly recommend Cozy Corner!! "

4 outdoor pools, open 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, pool loungers

"I had torn my achilles tendon just before my stay here so accessibility was an issue to some degree. No rooms had ramps or had ground floor accessibility. Other than that, the staff were great, breakfast was fantastic. Lunch was meh, dinner was really nice at the stone restaurant. My family had rented a car so we were a short 20 min drive into old town Chania which was gorgeous. "

"Lovely hotel, great staff, so close to the beach, good breakfast - thank you for a wonderful stay"

"L’appartement est correct, mais le responsable invisible et ne répondant pas à notre demande de changer une ampoule électrique ..on a vite compris qu’il ne fallait rien attendre du responsable.L’endroit est tranquille mais assez loin de tout et pas facile d’accès. Patricia et Jean."

"The property is away from everything but still close enough to get to things easily. Loved the quiet of the place, even with other people on the property you hardly noticed them. The pool was excellent and the perfect place to cool off at the end of the day. Check in was easy and when we called the host to figure out the electricity situation it went great. Didn't know about the card in the slot to get the electricity on. I had heard about it but had never seen it before. The only thing I would...

Panoramic Penthouse, Private Pool, Sea View

"Very helpful and friendly staff, and had own private beach as well as own parking lot, having a car was very helpful to get around as it was at least an hour away from tourist beaches which are a must see! The hotel strip had over a hundred restaurants to choose from. "

"Hotel molto bello, stanze ampie e pulite. Si trova 2 min a piedi dalla spiaggia convenzionata e a 10’min a piedi dal centro. Ottima posizione. Non ha parcheggio privato, bisogna trovarlo sulla strada oppure posteggiare al parcheggio pubblico al porto"

"Property was clean, modern, and safe with nice view of water. Welcome beverage was an unexpected treat. Warm breakfast buffet was good. My only complaint would be the limited parking with no signage. The congested area is very convenient to the waterfront dining. Great hotel despite limited parrking. "
