Best Hotels in Agia Apostoli Crete Greece

The resort village of Agia Apostoli is located in the region of Kato Daratso in western Crete. Since it is impossible to swim in Chania itself, lovers of walking around the beautiful ancient city choose the village of Agia Apostoli as a place of basing, because there are only four kilometers between them. In addition, here at the service of tourists, nature has arranged four bays with many free beaches for every taste: sandy, pebbly, municipal, deserted, party and others. The village is small in size, but rich in infrastructure: two large supermarkets, food stalls, taverns, a small park and a considerable number of cheap eateries built along the route. Of the attractions, only a few ancient churches, but the area organizes excursions to interesting places: olive factory, monastery in the mountains, Matala beach, Phaistos Palace, etc. The city of Chania with Venetian architecture, generously diluted with the entourage of the period of Ottoman rule, is also replete with ancient buildings, beautiful views, a wonderful promenade, museums with ancient artifacts and entertainment locations. As accommodation in Agia Apostoli, tourists usually choose hotels or apartments, which are built on the coast for every taste and budget. The fare on the intercity bus from Heraklion airport to Chania is 15 euros, and the ticket to the village is 1.2 euros. By taxi, this route will cost about 70 euros, the journey time is 2.5 hours.

Mossa Well Being Hotel

Hotel“Mossa”claims 5 stars and opened in May 2021. The number of rooms has not yet had time to get used to, modern furniture is selected in the style of European city apartments. This is a very small hotel,which should also be a plus – there are few vacationers. Of the cons: the expensive price of the voucher at the level of the best five-star hotels on the coast. The lack of animation and locations for children’s leisure significantly limits the circle of the audience. Within walking distance of four beaches with good reviews. In addition to standard services, the staff offers a large number of services for money, including spa programs and massages. There is a small swimming pool, and there is no park area and entertainment. The price includes only Wi-Fi, parking and access to the fitness center. For five stars,“Moss”,frankly, does not pull.

Zeus Village Resort – Adults Only

“Zeus Village”or “Village of Zeus” is a 4-star apart-hotel located in the center of the village. Shops, taverns, a park and beaches are nearby. Spacious apartments are equipped with kitchenette, air conditioning, smart TV. Next to the building there is a medium-sized swimming pool with a children’s paddling pool. There are paid spa services, including massages. Of the cons: there is no animation and entertainment, there are not enough sunbeds by the pool for everyone – they occupy from early morning. Also in the season, molesters fly here – you need to stock up on spray, since there are no nets on the windows.

Igor K writes a review: “we were the whole family, I liked the room with a bathroom and a nice balcony, which offers a beautiful view of the village and the sea, which is a 15-minute walk. The pool is great. Breakfasts were nice, the cook knows his business. Cook tasty and fast – this is a plus. In the nearby shops there is no good European beer and wine – this is a minus, but a delicious snack is full. We drank by the pool at the table, the sunbeds were all busy. I recommend it!”

 

 

 

Domes Noruz Chania, Autograph Collection- Adults Only

A five-star “adults only” hotel that strives to keep the brand in pleasant little things: upon arrival, a bottle of wine and a postcard signed by the manager, daily chocolates with the weather forecast and fresh information on excursions. The staff is courteous and professional. Spacious rooms with good equipment, including a capsule coffee machine, will please. The food is restaurant-free, but the free breakfast could be more varied. Two swimming pools, a small fitness club and a paid spa are made in premium interiors. In addition to the main restaurant, there are a couple of bars by the water, where sushi, snacks and cocktails are prepared. Of the cons: paid drinks and spa services in excess of the price of the voucher, which, for a minute, costs about 600 euros per day – this is available only to very rich people. The territory of the complex is very small, in walking distance there are beaches and restaurants.

 

 

 

Domes Zeen Chania, a Luxury Collection Resort, Crete

The interiors and territory of this place are created in a fashionable eco-style with a note of African exoticism. A long narrow swimming pool, breakfast and fitness center – this is the filling that is included in the voucher. There is no spa and no animation, the beach, judging by the reviews, with stones and useless sand. The hotel is only two years old and this affects the staff – professionalism leaves much to be desired. Visiting the children’s club for 10 euros per day for one child is beyond comprehension. It is better not to visit the à la carte restaurant at all – the average waiting time for a dish is about 40-50 minutes, the wine list is useless – more than half of the items are missing. Buffet breakfast pleases with a good variety, but without expensive frills. Overall, this is not the best offer on the coast.

 

 

 

Airis Boutique Hotel & Suites – For adults only

A small hotel “Iris” is located near two beaches, one of which is equipped. There are a couple of taverns with Greek cuisine nearby, supermarkets are a 15-minute walk away. The pool is small but with a bar. Guests of “Iris” note a meager breakfast, which would be nice to diversify, as well as poorly working Wi-Fi. The bright rooms are equipped with everything you need, including inexpensive furniture. Of the pros: in the evening live music plays in the restaurant, around the chamber atmosphere of a small hotel with friendly staff. Through the beach, the path is a 25-minute walk to the outskirts of Chania. It feels like the hotel is only pulling three stars, although marketers are positioned for all four.

 

 

Stellina Village

Stellinais a good four-star hotel located on the eastern outskirts of Agia Apostoli. Of the advantages of this place: a large park area with an orchard, where it is pleasant to walk in the evenings, the proximity of an equipped beach and clean rooms. You can praise the impressive size of the communal pool and a good breakfast according to the Swedish system. In addition to air conditioning and smart TV, the roomsalso have a refrigerator and a kitchenette. There are no shops or taverns nearby, but there is a mini-market with a high price tag on site. There is a small playground for young children and a fitness centre for adults.

Arthur writes a review: “In one large and green area there are two hotels of three and four stars. I was here in 2013 and in 2014 – the quality of food has even improved, but fruits and desserts will not be enough. There was no soap or shampoo in the bathroom, I had to buy in a mini-market. In general, I recommend Stellina, but there are also drawbacks. “

 

 

 

Sirios Village Hotel & Bungalows – All Inclusive

Nice four star hotel for a family holiday, located on the second coastline. The rooms are small, but clean and cozy. Experienced people are advised to book a bungalow with a bathroom away from the pool, where there is less noise and more privacy. Meals in the category “all inclusive” are tasty and varied, during the day the bar prepares various snacks and treats ice cream with fruit. Will be pleased with a large green area, which is nice to walk. The hotel does not have its own beach, it is only 400 meters to go to the public one, where the sunbed costs 5 euros, the water is clean and warm, the sand is soft, and the garbage is removed. There are two communal swimming pools and a children’s paddling pool with a mini water park. For children there is a games room and an outdoor playground. Evening animation is unobtrusive and simple – this is a place for a quiet family holiday. A bath, massage and other services are available for a fee. Fans of clubs and discos should drive 20 minutes by bus to Chania. Audience: families with children from Poland, Germany and Scandinavian countries.

 

 

 

Althea Village – Family Hotel

“Alfea Village”is an inexpensive hotel with a swimming pool, located at the exit of the city. Understanding the uselessness of the location and claiming 4 stars, the owners tried to work on coziness and comfort. Rooms are clean and modern. There are two communal swimming pools and a children’s pool, an entertainment room with table tennis and a children’s playground, free Wi-Fi and parking. The breakfast is quite varied and delicious. «Althea” is recommended for recreation to those tourists who rent a car and travel along the coast.

Dapnemezerium writes a review: “a quiet cozy hotel with two serious disadvantages that are worth considering. The first is location. To the sea to go half an hour in a quick step: in the heat I was able to reach only once. The second is disgusting drinks: juices, coffee, cocktails. But nearby there is a chic tavern with very tasty cuisine, wonderful drinks and live music in the evenings. Otherwise – the staff, comfort, equipment of the rooms – excellent!”

 

 

 

Dionyssos Village

Nice four star hotel, chosen by the Danes. Dionyssoshas only about 40 rooms and apartments with a private pool, located in several buildings around a winding pool. Around is very green and beautiful, the gardener works tirelessly. Flowers, ornamental bushes, as well as fruit trees grow: oranges, lemons, pomegranates, figs and even banana palms. The restaurant serves breakfast on the Swedish line with a good variety and orange juice, which vacationers squeeze themselves in any quantity. Very comfortable rooms are the main advantage of the hotel. At a distance of 10 minutes on foot there are several beaches, where for 5 euros you can rent a sun lounger. Dionyssosalso has a children’s playground, billiards and table tennis. Of the cons: an expensive restaurant on the menu, in which a glass of wine costs 5 euros, as well as bad Wi-Fi. Near the hotel there are several supermarkets and ten taverns for every taste.

 

 

 

Faros

Pharosis a small family hotel with a tiny swimming pool, terrace and simple rooms. To the sea walk 15-20 minutes. No meals are available – guests use taverns, restaurants and a supermarket. The rooms are cleaned with quality, Wi-Fi is good for catching in all rooms. The advantage of choosing this place can only be the low price of the voucher. In addition, the owner of“Pharos”blogs for tourists and travelers, so he knows all the local attractions and excursions. He can tell and advise a lot of useful things about holidays in Crete, including such places, information about which is not found on the Web.
