“Amazing .l:)”
Very happy with our stay. We only stayed one night but I wish we stayed longer. The rooms are very large with more than enough space. We travelled with two young children and they had lots of play areas. The pool was very clean with lots of seating, and the bar area is close. The staff were also very friendly and helpful.

“Wonderful Holiday - Thank you!”
From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming — even the cleaners went out of their way to greet us with a smile. The Wi-Fi was excellent throughout, and the beds were very comfortable. The apartments were spotless and cleaned daily, which made our stay even more relaxing. The entire complex is beautifully maintained, with a peaceful atmosphere and great amenities. We especially appreciated the multiple washing machines and dryers available on-site. A big thank you as well for accommodating our early check-in and late check-out due to our flight times — it made a huge difference. We’d definitely love to return!

“Brilliant!”
Ourania apartments are on the outskirts of a small but bustling resort town, a peaceful location with little to disturb the peace. The bar and cafe area has olive trees growing on the patio to provide shade from the sun where you can get a nice breakfast or dinner in the evening. Drinks are very reasonably priced, as is everything on Crete. Just a short walk from the local beach. Some reviews complain that the walk is a long one up a steep hill back to the hotel, in reality it’s at most a three minute walk up a very gentle slope, barely noticed. The rooms are modern and comfortable, the staff are warm and friendly. We loved our holiday there.

“Friendly and convenient for the local buses”
Staff were friendly, apartment was spacious and it was located near the local bus stop, so you could travel to lots of places in Crete. You could also walk to local tavernas and the beach.

“Relaxing break in Crete”
The Superior one bed apartment was lovely. Spacious, very comfortable bed, nice size terrace, little noise from adjacent apartments . Pool area was small but well maintained and there was plenty of room for sunbeds under the trees Good food from the bar if you don’t want to go out. I had a wonderful omlette

“Perfect place to stay!!”
Exceptional clean apartment (and cleaners constantly cleaning or changing towels or bins) and great surrounding areas. Friendly staff. Great location. Bar food and drinks, great choices! Loved the laundry room and went home with a case full of clean clothes

I have been coming here for 11 years and it’s amazing as ever! The wide range of fresh food on offer, the cleanliness of apartments and grounds to the amazing friendly staff who can’t do enough for you is the reason I keep returning!! It is walking distance to the local tavernas and beach but accommodation is in a tranquil quiet place Tasos and Stella amazing as always! The new receptionist Maria was so friendly and a great smiley face to see around

The apartment was spacious and clean, with plenty of space to hang towels and swimwear to dry. The staff were polite and helpful. The atmosphere was very laid back with no pressure to buy extras. Location was perfect, just a short walk from the beach and some nice tavernas.
