Highly recommended

It was a great experience staying in this beautiful and well decorated apartment. Everything was very clean. Despina and her mom and dad are the best hosts. We enjoyed real greek hospitality only a few steps away from the sea! Just perfect.

Comfortable and relaxing.

Very modern, well designed and impeccably clean. We had a first floor apartment in a cluster of 6. Small well kitted kitchen great for breakfast. Gated private parking available very near. Within walking distance to the restaurants and tavernas on the seafront. Great base to explore the remote areas of eastern Crete. The host, Despina, and her mum are very considerate. We very much enjoyed our stay in the apartment.

Perfect stay at Aelia Apartments

We recently stayed at Aelia Apartments and had an absolutely perfect experience! The apartment exceeded all expectations in every way. It was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was incredibly cozy, the kitchen had all the essentials for cooking, and the living area was a great place to relax. The location is ideal—close to beach and Makris Yialos Center, yet situated in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Despoina is a fantastic host, always responsive and eager to help with any questions or recommendations. Check-in and check-out were smooth, and the attention to detail made us feel right at home. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better apartment experience and would highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for the perfect stay. We will definitely be returning!
