“A wonderful holiday in a lovely apartment in an area of outstanding natural beauty.”
The apartment was clean, comfortable and well-equipped. The location right next to the beach and the very clear sea was excellent. It was short walk to the excellent restaurants in Stavros beach. The staff are friendly, courteous, professional and very helpful. We had a wonderful holiday.

“Wonderful peaceful location for a completely laid back holiday”
The location is absolutely wonderful, 2 balconies with views of the mountains and the village. There is a small beach and shallow sea levels to walk into. The whole place is kept super clean. The owner Niko is on hand most of the day.

“A beautiful peaceful and tranquil haven!”
I stayed at Little Bay with my sister and we couldn’t speak highly enough of this beautiful little haven of peace and tranquility overlooking its own private beach. It was also only a short walk to the main Stavros beach and the tavernas and also to supermarkets. The staff were amazing and nothing was too much for them… Special thanks to Nikkos who ran this lovely little hotel and to Joanna who cleaned the rooms. They were very kind and helpful. We will return!

The most magical and tranquil location, even though we arrived in the dark we could hear water lapping in the bay and see the stars twinkling. It's such a peaceful place at this time of year. The apartment has a great view of the famous rock face from Zorba The Greek and its high up cave which we climbed to.

“Dumpy place in a great location”
The location was very good, close to Stavros beach and restaurants. You need a car which I'm fine with.

“We didn’t”
Quietly situated and picturesque with its own small beach for swimming. Very short walk to the main Stavros beach which is sandy and easy to get into the sea unlike most of the beaches along the northern tip of the peninsula. Very relaxed and friendly.

“Avoid Room 8”
The property is well located. There’s a small bay in front of it, with beautiful water to swim around, the main beach is 5 min walking.

“Excellent location, fantastic accommodation, transport options could be better”
Excellent location and accommodation. Little Bay and the beach in front of the accommodation were perfect. An excellent choice even for a very short stay. Rated 10 out of 10 in every aspect. The apartment was airy and super clean, the location very peaceful and the scenery just amazing. The few local tavernas/restaurants are reasonably priced, and you can always cook your own food, if you can detach yourself from the amazing beach that is. You can't find this kind of landscape and scenery and quality swimming in any other major Mediterranean island (e.g. Sicily, Sardinia, Malta or Cyprus). Crete tops them all ;)

“Loved it!”
The location is excellent and it is soooo quiet - exactly what we were looking for. Access to the little private beach with free umbrellas and sunbeds for the guests it is a really nice thing to have access to. The room we stayed in was very big, it had a separate bedroom and an open space living room/dining room with kitchen. We had access to a balcony from the bedroom and another commun balcony from the front room overlooking the sea. We loved it. The rooms resemble the pictures you see in the description of this property.
