Central Crete Hotels

We spent five fabulous days at Nautilux Rethymno. It is one of the nicest hotels we have stayed at in our many trips to Greece.

We stayed at Nautilux Rethymno in one of the suites with a private heated pool, and it was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so welcome!

This is a beautiful hotel. We came as a family of 4 — 2 adults, 14 year old and 11 year old.

Amazing experience! The reception staff greet you with the warmest welcome on arrival from Ioanna and her team. The rooms are clean and made up whenever you want.

This was an excellent place for 6 nights in Rethymno. The staff were friendly and very helpful — they knew a lot about the area, particularly Anna and Persefone.

We’re so glad we chose this hotel! We stayed for three nights and had an amazing time. The location couldn’t have been better—just a 5-minute walk to the beach and the same to the charming old town.

Just returned from a 2 week stay at the macaris we absolutely loved it. We got upgraded to a 2 bedroom apartment which was lovely.

A very beautiful hotel facing the Aegean Sea. We were accommodated with an early check-in, which was very appreciated. Our 1BR suite had a magnificent balcony that faced the water.

Perfect location for exploring Rethymnon. We had a lovely welcome and all of the staff made us feel very welcome.

We had a Absolutely gorgeous relaxing week here.
Rooms so clean and perfectly decorated.
Breakfast and dinner was a feast and absolutely delicious.

This is such a wonderful place to stay.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this hotel! The location is perfect — just a short walk from the sea. The hotel’s private pool was spotless and a great place to unwind.

Thank you Axos team! We had a fantastic 5 days right at the start of the summer season. From the moment we arrived we were welcomed with open arms.

This is our second time staying here and we love it. The rooms are clean and comfortable. They upgraded the bathroom, which is awesome. Walking distance from the beach and lovely restaurants.

Lovely accommodation in a quiet village setting but only a 5 minute walk from the beach.
The apartment is newly refurbished and has a lovely balcony overlooking the village square, very quaint.

Brilliant hospitality and service, with a lovely family atmosphere. Also a great spot with a bus stop outside the premises enabling the easy transportation.

A very nice Hotel nearby Hersonissos! The service was amazing and all the staff very friendly. The rooms were clean and comfortable. You should make a visit!

Beutiful clean apartments, very nice and friendly service. Family friendly, helped us with everything we needed 💙 highly recommend to everyone, we will definitely come back next year 💙🤍💙

Had a great a time! Dafni and Dimitris are great hosts!

We had a truly unforgettable experience at Avli Lounge Apartments. After celebrating nearby, we lost track of time and realized it was too late to drive back to our hotel (over an hour away).

Delicious food, creative dishes from the Mediterranean cuisine. Very good selection of Greek wines. The atmosphere is cosy with a genuine Greek summery feel.

The rooms are clean and comfortable, the location is great, the parking next to the hotel is very convenient and there is a special discount for John Mary guests (it was 15 euros per day).

New or recently refurbished and with attention to detail. Big fridge espresso coffee maker, hair dryer, complimentary alcohol miniature of raki with Greek traditional biscuits.

A wonderful place with delicious breakfasts and spacious rooms designed for true relaxation. The incredibly welcoming and helpful owners make the stay truly special.

We had a wonderful stay! The service felt very personal — it’s a charming family-run place where you immediately feel at home.

Exceptional services and well administrated accommodation unit. We felt from the first day that we are welcomed, helped and treated very very nice.

I would really recommend this hotel — the staff are very friendly and the service is exceptional. Everything is clean and the breakfast offers everything you could want.

This hotel is what I always hope for but rarely get when going on holiday. A family run establishment which was modern, clean and very well run. Our room was well equipped and comfortable.

We got back last week after a fantastic 10 night stay at this wonderful hotel.
Perfect location for beach, restaurants, bars and shops.

Spent a week in this nice and quiet villa. The price is affordable, clean rooms and area. The owners are simply lovely and very, very helpful.

We have just got back from a 7 night stay at Villa Marina and we had the best time.

We loved this hotel, conveniently located not far from Heraklion airport. It is secluded, about 250 metres back from Gourmes beach, and beautifully laid out with rooms around the pool.

Top stay, clean and tidy. Chantal knows how to spoil her guests and her husband can cook very well in the evenings. The BBQ this week was especially delicious. It's like coming home a bit.

Great, apartment cleaned everyday, good food. Nice relaxing atmosphere. Hosts Minas and Mania friendly, always busy, but always give a Kalimera or a Yassou. Plenty of sunbeds too.

Lovely apartment, spacious and really clean. Modern bathroom and nice patio to sit for a coffee.

What a beautiful place to stay. Quiet area but not too far to walk into the village. The cleaners never stop absolutely spot less. Vangelis was a great host. We will definitely be back one day.

Been to Koutouloufari before and seen these apartments and liked the look of them so managed to book them and they did not disappoint.

We stayed at City Lion by Semavi for 2 nights while exploring the main sights of Heraklion with our two young children (ages 7 and 4), and it was an excellent experience from start to finish.

We decided to stay at City Lion based on the many excellent reviews posted on various platforms. It more than exceeded our high expectations!

Great apartment clean spacious modern with all amenities.

A very nice stay!
Warm welcome with a full introduction to the place.

Once again we have had a lovely experience at Costas Inn. Eleftheria recognised us immediately from a previous holiday and gave us a great welcome.

We stayed 2 nights in a cozy room with a huge bed! The owner was amazing and helpful with many tips what to do around. We had breakfast one morning which had a lot of options of food.

Best stay in the heart of Heraklion! The apartment was spotless, very comfortable, and perfectly located — everything in the city center was within walking distance.

A wonderful stay! We stayed through Airbnb on 31 October. 2025. The apartment is very central yet surprisingly quiet, and the host was absolutely lovely.

We were absolutely thrilled when we arrived at Pilots suites where we were greeted by Yiorgos.

We had a wonderful 8 night stay here. Our rooms were perfect, a great size, decorated lovely and modern. The pool area was big with plenty of sunbeds. The views around the pool area are stunning.

Had a really great experience in the hostel. The location is ideal, in the old city center, walking distance from everything. Rooms and showers really clean and modern.

Originally I had booked 2 nights here but after the first night I decided I had to stay another two nights.

Everything was great! I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it! 😊

Excellent place with a friendly and very helpful host like a family. The kitchen is clean, well-equipped, and there’s plenty of space throughout the hostel. I especially enjoyed the rooftop teracce.

I've been here two weeks, staying one month total. So far I love this place! The staff are super friendly, close to running trails and five minute walk to Matala.

Unforgettable stay!
I had an amazing time at Matala Hostel in Crete. The place has such a welcoming, laid-back vibe that instantly makes you feel at home.
