Grapevines Villas Makrygialos, hotel in Makry Gialos

Located in Makry Gialos and only 400 metres from Lagoufa Beach, Grapevines Villas Makrygialos provides accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking.

Very good beaches in that area. The pool is big, and even though not very clear, it doesn’t smell with chlorine, which is better than clearness of the water. For example down in the other hotel below on the hill, there is a pool which smells like sh*t and bad for your eyes, but with clear water. There was not many neighbors (around 5 houses occupied max, I think 20-30%), so that was also a plus. Not sure how it’s there when there are many people near the pool. The villa has 3 levels, but there is no reason for the third floor. You’d better lay next to the pool. There are only sun beds. I thought to buy and put a grill/barbecue there, but did not find any smaller and cheaper one. The kitchen and the hall are on the second floor, strange.

Aspros Potamos, hotel in Makry Gialos

Set amidst the lush valley of Aspros Potamos, the 300-year old, restored guesthouse of Aspros Potamos features authentic Cretan accommodation.

Absolutely unique experience and one of its kind. Residence is in desolated place, in true traditional houses with minimalistic electricity. However, don't be fooled - everything you need is provided by wonderful, helpful host. Even if you need to break your vows and recharge your phone - there is a possibility. PS. The mattress is very comfortable.

Villa Xenia, hotel in Makry Gialos

Villa Xenia is located in a garden just above the beaches of Diaskari and Lagada in Makrigialos. It features self-catered accommodation with a balcony overlooking the Libyan Sea.

We very much liked the warm welcome and friendliness of the owner. Great care and thoughtfulness had been taken over all the welcoming little gifts and goodies. Lovely position overlooking the sea. Very near, walking distance, to a good beach and taverna.

Porfyra's Island, hotel in Makry Gialos

Just 25 metres from Makry Gialos Beach in Lasithi, Porfyra's Island offers self-catering accommodation with free WiFi and spacious balconies overlooking the Libyan Sea and the mountain.

This is a very good accommodation in the center of Makry Gialos. We were given instructions how to enter, it was easy. Inside everything is perfect, well-arranged, clean, every necessary thing is there. The sea, a supermarket, cafes and eateries are 100 m away or less. Heartily recommended both for short stays or for vacations.

    We went out of season, reason being work from April until November. It was just what we were looking for quiet, peaceful. A few bars for drinks, cocktails and a few places to eat. Most others were closed, but really did not matter to us. Ideal base for visiting Vai beach and other places of interest.

    Beautiful place to stay, relaxed but with a good choice of places to walk, eat and take in the sun. Try The Green Beach, it has a small restaurant down partly on the beach. A lovely quiet place to read a book in peace with crystal clear sea.

    Makrygialos is absolutely lovely.

    Makrygialos is absolutely lovely. The main beach is great and is perfect for children. We ate out every lunch and dinner time. Fantastic selection of restaurants. Found them very reasonable; you can eat cheaply or spend more if you wish. You can walk around Makrygialos very easily and everything you need is there. You won't find nightclubs or noisy bars! It is very much a family holiday environment. You need a car to get there or a taxi and definitely if you want to do some sightseeing.

    Lovely peaceful place with a safe clean beach and plenty of places to eat. I don't think that there is a more friendly place in Crete and I am only sorry that it took us so long to find it. We are going to try and visit every year for as long as we are able to.

    It's a beautiful village by the sea.

    It's a beautiful village by the sea. The beach is shallow and safe, so great for swimmers and non swimmers alike. There doesn't seem to be a lot of hotels, (a selfish but good point) although there were plenty of tavernas catering for all tastes. There seemed to be enough people about to make the resort seem busy but not overcrowded. I have been to Elafonisi and Balos beaches which are more beautiful but the facilities and clean beach means that I would rather stay at Makry Gialos. We swam every day that We were there. Parking can be a bit of a problem as the car parks aren't large or well signposted and one is up a very steep hill. We had great food at the Faros taverna and at the Cavern bar. A very special mention to Ian and Sharon at the Cavern bar for great (UK) food and the warmest of welcomes. We actually watched Queen Elizabeth the II funeral in the bar, as it was the nearest we could get to being there. Most of the beach is covered with sunbeds although you only have to buy a drink to use them. I have been to resorts that charge up to 10 euros a day for two sunbeds and a parasol! I am loving the thought of spending more time there next year. The biggest problem for me were the fumes emitted by the Chrissi island boat drifting across the beach between 10.30 and 11.15 in the morning when it left its mooring.

    Makry Gialos gave us the impression of a bit shabby place.

    Makry Gialos gave us the impression of a bit shabby place. If you leave the location of the appartment , you come onto the main road where ( if you turn right into the 'village' ) some little shops can be found. Best to stay near the location of big blue appartments....... We had an evening dinner in a restaurant near our accomodation which was ok. There is also a fish restaurant on the end of the small boulevard.

    Fantastically renovated sheep barns. Each one was different but with a nice setting. We wanted to have the see view ones, but got “Skinos” and it was great. Anyways the sea is far, so you don’t see much. Inside its really well done and comfortable. Outside its so pleasant to stay in the shade in the middle of nature. From there you can do a beautiful hike into the Pefki Gorge. The village down on the seaside (Makry Gialos) has a pretty seaside and series of restaurants.

    A beautiful establishment managed by a welcoming family. It’s an ideal choice for families that wish to spend their vacations on the stunning side of Crete at the area of Lasithi. Numerous amenities and tavernas are available nearby. Owners are eager to provide all necessary hints and tips about local beaches and places to visit. The infrastructure is ideal either for enjoying time at the pool or in the beach. We enjoyed our staying!

    Apartment was absolutely lovely and clean with an amazing large balcony facing the beach. Hosts supplied everything you could possibly need plus they threw in a large basket of fruit, olive oil and local pastries. The apartment is in walking distance to the main restaurants and even has a good taverna within 50meters. We have been traveling around Crete for 3 weeks and this was our nicest stay by far. We loved it!!

    Like a well kept secret, Village is rustic but special. Very relaxed hotel which lends itself to a very relaxed holiday. Chrisoulla and Nicos are honestly the secret ingredients to this place and I have no idea how the business would cope without them!! Room(s) were ideal for our family of 4 with neighbouring front doors and a shared exit. Lunches were lovely

    The breakfast was very good. The rooms are as described - this is not a 5 star hotel, it is a special low-tech experience, which is exactly why we went there. It is an easy 15 minute walk to the beach if you use the path. The road to enter by car takes much longer. And the staff are very friendly and helpful. Definitely a very special place to stay.

    Welcoming staff, comfy beds, luscious pool and beautiful surroundings. Breakfast at the morning buffet spread was delicious as also the traditional bakery breads! Guys at the hotel in particular was incredibly friendly and a goldmine of local knowledge - they have had excellent recommendations for where to eat and drink in the town.

    The location is excellent, 79 steps and you are on the beach. A lot of Crete apartments are quite rustic. This apartment is modern with all the facilities you would need to dine at home. Decorated in keeping the a sea side apartment. The outdoor shower was fantastic, ideal for a cool shower on return from the beach

    I felt like royalty at Ionio Star. The cleanliness of the hotel was impeccable and the beach with its Blue Flag status was divine. The 24-hour reception was a great convenience, and the beach volley and small harbour facilities kept me entertained throughout my stay.
