Balito apartments in Kato Galatas

We visited Balito with a family of 7 and had the most wonderful stay. The hotel is small but updated and it is run by a wonderful family who makes you feel at home. The pool area is lovely and the breakfast and coffee is perfect in the morning. The rooms were good for our large family (we had two rooms with 3 beds each) and the area is very walkable. It’s about a 14 min walk to the beach (with my slower children) and a 10 min taxi into Chania. There is also a bus to take you to town and some of the other beaches that stops nearby but we didn’t do it because of elders in our group. There is a taverna around the corner that was amazing. Overall I highly recommend this hotel and will be back again if we return to Crete.

We had a fantastic stay, in July. What a pleasure, everything was exquisite. The rooms were spotless, the staff excellent, the pool was sparkling. I would rate this hotel as 100%

We had a fantastic stay at Balito Hotel! It’s a warm and family-run hotel with a welcoming atmosphere and truly outstanding service. The staff were always friendly, helpful, and made us feel right at home. We highly recommend Balito for anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable vacation experience.

A great place to stay! Friendly staff, very clean, quiet and well priced. Beach, supermarkets and restaurants just a short walk away with regular buses to Chania

Our stay was very pleasant and convenient. Our room was well equipped and comfortable. George and his family and staff treated us extremely well and we enjoyed our visit very much.

Hi, I did like everything. Wonderfully polite Staff, the owner George was exteremely helpful in every situation. Very calm ,homely atmosphere, great swimming pool with a bar and breakfasts. Close to the sea and commerciall services. And very important, the ability to park your car in front of the building. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants a

How anyone could not like this is beyond me. Unless you are actually looking for loud music and foam parties, this is great, a reasonably priced relatively modern property in a great location with its own bar serving food and drink and its own swimming pool, with fabulous sea views on a bus route, yards from a traditional village with its own restaurants, bakery, coffee kiosk. Supermarkets are just short stroll away. George is a very accommodating host easy to get on with and very helpful and informative.

Great property. Apartments very comfortable and spotlessly clean. We had a beautiful sea view on 2nd floor. Kitchenette basic but adequate for cooking breakfast. Good shower in bathroom. Lovely pool. There is a pool bar. George the owner and his family and staff were very friendly and gave lots of information about Crete. It is about a 12 minute walk down the hill to the nearest beach Kalamaki. We didn't like this beach as it was by a busy road so we carried on walking another 20 mins to Apostoli beach which is fabulous with a great beach bar. Completely recommend this accommodation but bear in mind the distance to beaches, if you don't like to walk far you need to hire a car. Or there is a bus stop right outside the apartment you could use.

Lovely apartment on 2nd floor with sea view from window and balcony. Very clean. Free air con and safe. Kitchen facilities basic but adequate for cooking breakfast, there was a kettle fridge, 2 cooking rings and a microwave. Good shower in bathroom. Bed was a little hard. Lovely pool and there was a pool bar. Balito is in a very quiet area. 2 traditional restaurants just up the road in the village and a couple of supermarkets and a bakery. There is a bus stop right outside the apartment which goes to Chania and the beaches. You can walk from the apartment to Kalamaki beach in about 12 minutes but it is by a busy road, there are lots of restaurants and bars here. We preferred to go to the beach at Apostoli which was beautiful and had a fabulous beach bar. There are also some lovely restaurants and bars here. Really recommend this area and apartment.

It was an amazing place, confortable clean with a great swimming pool, the owner, George was the nicest and kindest person ever.
