Great accommodation in a lovely unspoilt resort

Location was the best - near everything but very quiet and peaceful. Stylish and very well equipped houses and apartments in old Cretan buildings right on the little harbour. Super helpful and kind staff.

The perfect place to stay if you love good food , swimming and village hospitality.

We loved everything about The White Houses. Perfect location across the road from a little fishing harbour. Very close to a swimming beach and tavernas. Nicos and Jill were wonderful hosts leaving us a very generous welcome basket. The apartment had everything we needed . We loved sitting out the front absorbing the peaceful atmosphere.

Lovely place

We will return to this place again, we don't do it often, and we have traveled a lot. I think this is the best review.

Our stay was amazing; the apartment, the property and surroundings looked exactly as on photos.

The location of the apartments is great - close to everything, including beaches and taverns. The apartment we've got was clean, well decorated and equipped - it had everything we needed for our stay. The we didn't even do a grocery shopping for a couple of days - that how generous a food and wine "welcome package" was... Both check in and check out were super easy , as Nikos, the manager, welcomed us, showed us around and answered all our questions. Thank you, Nikos, it was a pleasure to meet you.

The White Houses ticked all the boxes for us! Two families with four teenagers between us we spread across the Winter house and one of the apartments - which two of the older teenagers used and loved having their own space. The properties are beautifully presented with interesting artifacts scattered throughout giving it an interesting & stylish feel. The location of the properties in front of the harbour provides uninterrupted views over the sea which we enjoyed morning and evening, the chairs & table in the front on the street are also a great spot for people watching . The beach is literally metres away along with all the great little tavernas - we ate in a different one each evening. Highly recommended!

Great family refuge

We loved the location of the property. The ease of our days there could not be matched. We were travelling with our infant child, so the easy access to the town and beach was amazing.
