Top Hotels Near Tholos Beach in Ierapetra from NZ$84

"We had 10 days in this villa in October. Mark kindly allowed us an early check in as the villa was empty the night before our arrival. Instructions were given for how to drive to the villa, but I would request GPS co-ordinates as I don't think we would have easily found the property without that (the road signs that were used as indicators appear to have changed and the right hand turn required is obscured by trees growing near the roadside). From an Australian perspective, the bed in the master bedroom is not a Queen but a very small Double. The mattress in that room is soft and lumpy and not particularly comfortable. The furniture in the living areas is comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked for self catering. The listing needs to be updated as the tavernas mentioned as being within walking distance have both closed, so there is now nowhere to eat out within walking distance. Also, there is now a requirement to pay a Climate Crisis Resilience Tax of 15 Euros per night when staying at the villa. As it was autumn when we were there we didn't use the pool at all, although it looked inviting. Lastly, beware of the cotton mats on the floor of every room - we found them to be trip hazards and rolled them up and put them aside for the duration of our stay. Communication with Mark before arrival was quick and easy, however, after we had arrived I got the impression that questions about the property were not appreciated, so I didn't bother him again."

"The Old Pomegranate House was an enchanting place to stay. Views of the bay, beautiful sunsets and a cozy, well appointed, clean space to call home. Perfectly located to explore Eastern Crete. Recommendations from our hosts were detailed and really enhanced our trip. They also left us delicious feta, and local tomatoes and cucumbers- we feasted on these for breakfast our entire stay. We hope to return some day! "

"Amazing views, great gated community, perfect relaxing"

"We had a wonderful stay at Agrilos House. The property is tastefully furnished, has very comfortable beds, a well equipped kitchen and great bathroom shower. The house has a spacious terrace with commanding views of the mountains and coastline, although a large tree does unfortunately get in the way of the amazing sea view. The host (Despina) was easy to contact and provided information about the property and area in advance of our visit. We were also left a very generous welcome basket of local produce, which was a lovely touch. Myrsini is a small village set on the main road to Sitia, so there is occasional traffic noise, but it is not constant or too intrusive. Otherwise the location is peaceful and a real plus point is the village has a mini mart/coffee shop and a quaint taverna (Kathodon) only a couple of minutes walk from the house. "

"We can echo all of the previous reviews. Thisproperty is simply magnificent. If you haven’t stayed here before, you should. If you have stayed here before, then you will definitely return."

"Beautiful, as in pictures, great location, hosts were super helpful!"
