Coriva Beach Hotel

Ierapetra

"The Coriva Beach hotel is a delight. Everywhere you look, the property is beautifully maintained, everything is just aesthetically pleasing, the staff is warm and friendly. The hotel is not opulently luxurious or overdone. It's a family owned place: three brothers took over the management of the place from their Dad. So, it doesn't have that Hiltony-Marriot-like corporate feel to it. Instead, Covina is homey, relaxing and comfortable. Breakfast options here are varied and delicious, with tables...

"Generally a positive review especially the staff who were excellent. Family friendly with food surprisingly good for an all inclusive, a notch down from restaurant quality but good value for the overall price. Facilities otherwise excellent which are clearly geared for children with the exception of the ‘quiet pool’ (one of four pools). Negatives as follows: Bar area poor, no adult vibe whatsoever with simple tables and hard chairs located next to the children’s play area which tends to be...

NIKO Seaside Resort MGallery - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent food , clean modern rooms with comfortable bed . Loved the plunge pool on our balcony, staff lovely and helpful. Excellent location"

Elpida Village

10/10 Excellent

"We have just returned from staying at Elpida Village. The setting is lovely and the views are stunning. The shuttle bus to the beach was very handy. Our room was great, with very welcome a/c. Plenty of space for our clothes too. My only complaint really was that the shower was far too small and I didn't like the shower curtain. I am an average size person and even I found it difficult to shower without flooding the floor. But that was a minor inconvenience. The staff were lovely and extremely helpful. We loved Marina who was working in the bar in the evening. She was so friendly and entertaining. Unfortunately I don't know the name of the lady who served the pool bar, but she was also very pleasant and friendly. The food was very good and there was plenty of it. The waiting staff were a little over keen to clear the tables but we soon got used to that. I highly recommend this as a great hotel for families. We are a couple but found that it was OK for us. We also liked the fact that we could have all inclusive which was well worth the price that we paid. I especially loved the terrace area outside the main party of the hotel where we sat in the evening, with a beautiful tree in the middle and tables and chairs all around just like an old Cretan village square."

Aquila Elounda Village Resort, Suites & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"An absolutely stunning property with the most proactive, helpful and attentive staff I've ever seen at a resort. Other reviews already highlight how beautiful the resort is, so thought I'd leave specific info about accessibility, as it was a lot better than I anticipated from previous info online. My wife uses a wheelchair, although can manage short distances/a few steps. Although the resort is on a slope with multiple tiers, most of the grounds are feasible for a wheelchair; going from main reception to the bungalows, most communal grounds and the route towards the beach are all slopes. To get down to the beach and the beach bar itself, there are maybe 10 steps. Similarly, to get to the buffet restaurant, there are a few steps. If you're in a situation like us, where a wheelchair is generally needed but a few steps are manageable, don't let it put you off the resort. The staff were SO helpful and kind. They pre-emptively offered taking us on the golf cart, let us park our car next to the reception, always found ways to make trips easier and even, the night before we were set to leave, had the hotel repairman repair a loose screw on the wheelchair! I can't thank the staff enough for their support; they made us feel completely relaxed and as though we had to make no compromises even with accessibility needs. Thank you."

Sitia Beach City Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing stay and amenities. Very accessible to the beach, actually privately accessible with our own umbrellas and sun beds. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. The beaches were amazing. Also, if you want to see other attractions, get a rental. I had a great massage. I recommend booking it in advance because sometimes it can get a little full. The only thing negative was the breakfast not having eggs to order. That would’ve been nice"

Elounda Gulf Villas by Sandglass

10/10 Excellent

"Stunning property and staff all amazing. Very hilly so need to be fit to get around or have a car. Suites lovely, breakfast plentiful and tasty. Beach club about 10 mins away in complimentary shuttle bus. It’s quite far from Elounda town so we drove in each night. Would be great if hotel had a shuttle bus to take you there. Everything was fabulous and definitely good value for money"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Ayios Stefanos?

The best area to stay in Ayios Stefanos is along the main beach road, which offers direct access to the sea and the resort's primary amenities.

This central stretch is where you'll find most of the hotels, apartments, and villas, many boasting sea views. It's a convenient location for everything, with the beach just steps away and a good selection of tavernas and shops lining the road. The general layout is linear, following the curve of the bay, making it easy to navigate.

Couples looking for a relaxing holiday will find this area particularly appealing. You can easily spend your days lounging on the beach, enjoying meals at waterfront tavernas, and taking evening strolls along the promenade. Many accommodations here offer pools and direct beach access, superb for unwinding.

Families will also appreciate staying along the main beach road. The proximity to the beach means easy access for children, and many of the tavernas are family-friendly.

When is the best time to go to Ayios Stefanos?

The best time to go to Ayios Stefanos is typically from May to October, when the weather is warm and sunny, superb for enjoying the beaches and outdoor activities.

May and early June offer pleasant temperatures in the low to mid-20s Celsius, ideal for exploring the area without the peak summer crowds. The sea is warming up nicely, making it comfortable for swimming. This period is excellent for couples who enjoy a more relaxed pace and perhaps some hiking along the coastal paths.

July and August are the warmest months, with temperatures often reaching into the high 20s and low 30s Celsius. This is peak season, so the beaches will be busier, and the village will have a lively buzz. It's a fantastic time for families, as the sea is at its warmest, and there are plenty of water sports and beach activities available for all ages.

September and October offer a gentle transition, with temperatures still very agreeable, usually in the mid-20s Celsius. The sea remains warm from the summer heat, and the crowds begin to thin out, making it a lovely time for those seeking a peaceful getaway.
