"Ver clean, lovely host, wonderful views, closer to Kouremenos Bch than Palaicastro was, in the middle of everything we wanted to see and do. Breakfast was good; wifi was having issues while we were there, but a bit of tolerance for the roads and the wifi of eastern Crete is a must."
"Just the best. Stunning villas, incredible views, amazing breakfast. Every detail has been thought about, from robes and hairdryers, to drying rails, pens, hooks and the perfectly positioned sun lounger on the balcony. It's a peace of paradise, in an idyllic quiet part of Crete with wonderfully helpful staff, great walks, fab restaurants and inviting gardens. Book it now, you won't regret it."
"The most delightful lady helping us when we arrived. She is the matriarch of the family and treated us as if we were long lost relatives coming for a visit. Wonderful landlady. Room was comfortable and clean. Views were to die for."
"Stella and Andoni have a place in our heart! We can’t imagine coming back to Crete and not staying here. Rooms were OCD level spotless and clean, its metres from the beach, in a quiet town only a short drive from the bigger town. "
"The Artemis hotel is a truly special place - recently and beautifully renovated, nestled in lush gardens and right on the seashore - you can go from bedroom to beach in just 20 steps or less.
Its tranquil setting with a private beach at the end of the bay from Makry Gialos, makes it feel secluded whilst still being a short walk from the harbour with its tavernas and cafes. The room we were in had a lovely view over the gardens and beach, and a balcony to enjoy the sunset from.
Staff were all wonderful and we were received with warm and generous hospitality from the moment we arrived. They were especially helpful in assisting us with the Heraklion transfer.
The Kima restaurant is also a lovely spot for a delicious meal while getting amazing views of the sunset across the bay. Try the Octopus!
Thank you to all the Artemis staff for such an enjoyable holiday - we would love to come back."
