The birthplace of both the king of the Olympian gods and of modern European civilization, Crete is a Mediterranean jewel. It’s rich with archaeological and mythological history that’s reflected in its ancient ruins and cultural attractions. Soak up the charming atmosphere of Chania Town’s Old Venetian Harbor or the fortresses and monasteries of Rethymonon. The awesome Minoan ruins of Malia date to 1900 BC, and majestic Mt. Ida is said to be home to the cave where Zeus was born.

Fabulous secluded gem of a place in Kissamos
Reviewed By xenaandbobblesWe visited Naya and stayed for a fabulous week in early September. Booked it based on reviews online and was our first trip to that part of Crete. About an hour drive from Chania and so delighted when we pulled up and discovered that the photos we'd seen were spot on. The bar and rooms are right on the beach, it is secluded, quiet and just gorgeous. We were greeted by the owner's nephew who was really helpful even though he didn't speak as much English as Ares himself, and we being typically English don't speak Greek! Our room was in the newly extended part which is behind the bar area. They've been done out really nicely, very shabby chic, distressed wood flooring and a real ocean feel with the colour scheme. Great en suite with a large walk in shower (never had such a good shower in Greece!). Aircon included and a fridge and kettle etc., so all you need if you've no plans to cook (we like to eat out!). Maid service in the room every day which was brilliant, so many clean towels! Breakfast was great value in the bar at 7 euros for cooked breakfast, yoghurt with honey and nuts, cake (got to love the Greeks!), coffee and fresh orange. We didn't partake every day to avoid quite such a massive weight gain over the week! The beach in front of the bar has more than ample sun beds, well spaced out and hammocks and plenty of shade when it's scorcho. Waiter service on the beach and we were treated to free drinks and meze dishes on many of the afternoons we lazed there. Very safe shelving beach with clear water, just lovely. Visitors were mostly Greek locals, just a few tourists which was lovely. The bar served food all day and into the evening and it was really fresh, tasty and well presented. Ares is a very laid back and hospitable guy and works hard with many late nights in the bar! Just to say the rooms are very sound proof so if late nights aren't your thing you're not disturbed at all. If you fancy cocktails til 5am you can do that too! We tended to drive out in the evening to try out a few of the surrounding tavernas but you could walk into town down the roads, probably about 20 minutes or walk along the beach to Kissamos. Kissamos is a real Greek town, not overrun with tourists or tourism, plenty of normal local activity which we prefer. Some beautiful beaches on the Chania prefecture so if you have a car it is well worth a day out to visit a few too. Would certainly recommend Naya and Kissamos and will definitely return for a super laid back, relaxing week of sun, sand and fabulous Greek hospitality.

Charming .Stunning location
Reviewed By Rupert nCharming,small hotel in the historic old town.We had a lovely room with a stunning view across the harbour.Limited facilities but that suited us.The only negative issue we experienced was noise at night due to its prime location right above the harbour strip.We only stayed on Friday and Saturday night which may account ,in part, for this but visitors need to be aware if staying in any of the many harbour side hotels.

We only used the bar of this property ...
Reviewed By Brun066… for breakfast. Very simple breakfast, with coffee, butter and honey, at a very fair price: 4 euros each. The property was almost deserted; I don't know if this was the effect of the electrical blackout that the whole area was suffering at that time.

Dreadful beds, dirty bathroom
Reviewed By GroundedI had stayed in this hotel before and whilst it was basic the location is great and views from top floor excellent. However on this occasion the beds were so hard we coould feel the springs of the mattress pressing into our backs and we got no sleep and had sore backs. The bathroom floor and grouting between tiles is filthy and the shower area is so close to the loo you could wash your feet whilst doing a pee ! The reception staff are friendly and kind but, unfortunately, I will never stay here again - nor could I recommend it. If you cannot get a good night's sleep and if cleaning staff cant clean a floor properly - This property is very run down and needs a lot of updating.

Some of the best views on Crete
Reviewed By PhilofBeestomWe stayed in one of the maisonettes. These consist of two floors connected by a steep flight of stairs. You enter in the upper floor which has the bathroom and main bedroom. The stairs take you down to a living room with kitchen area, where two single beds are also available. Each floor has a balcony, the lower one shaded, the upper (smaller) one not. As the building faces roughly North, the rooms do not get too hot in the fierce midday sun. Kitchen facilities include fridge, three ring hob, microwave oven & toaster, plus plenty of crockery, implements and pans. Both balconies give extensive views over the Mirabello Gulf. The grounds are attractive and well-planted; the swimming pool is in a well grassed area with views up to the mountains. It takes about 20 minutes to walk into Us from village which has multiple taverns and mini markets; Sandy braces are only about 10 minutes walk. Note that the buildings are up a very steep hill from the main road, featuring two hairpin bends. The owner, Yannis, lives on site and is very friendly - his English is not extensive but he puts you on his mobile phone to a relation in Athens who acts as interpretor! He gave us a litre of his own olive oil as a leaving present!
