Where to stay in Makriyialos

I have visited this hotel together with my dad and my son at the end of October 2025 and I have to say for anyone who consider of going in what an amazing place that is!!! Beautiful hotel, rooms are spacious, very clean with beautiful view. Lovely sandy beach with private sunbeds (plenty), food was delicious, plenty to choose from, especially if you like fish or seafood, I have tried grilled...

Great hotel! Friendly staff, clean rooms, and a central location. Highly recommended!………………………………………………………………..

We enjoyed our vacation very much, room was big and had a nice view to the sea. Food was generally great, good variety and very service minded and friendly staff.

Hotel excellent and kept very clean. Food amazing with lots of choice. Entertainment team were highlight for us. Our kids loved them and the shows that were put on were amazing

We had an excellent family stay at Atlantica Mikri Poli Crete in October. The hotel is beautiful, clean, and the views are stunning. The staff were fantastic – so friendly and attentive to all our needs. The food was delicious, and the facilities, especially the pools and kids' activities, were top-notch. A truly memorable and relaxing holiday for the whole family. Highly recommended!

We are almost at the end of our 2 week stay here and have loved every minute. The hotel is beautiful with great pools and it's own beach. Food is amazing with so much choice and something for everyone. The entertainment staff were brilliant, very friendly, spoke to everyone around the pool each day and their evening shows were so good, the effort put in from them all was amazing! Big shout out to David...

We were traveling at the very end of their season but the service was like it was their first, still so warm and friendly. Very few people yet full pools, beach chairs, and sumptuous breakfast buffet. We wished we booked two nights.

Disappointing, just got back from this hotel. Checked in and then the stairs, two flights down and then three flights up to our room (no lifts). The room was pristine but unusual in the fact that the hand basin was in the bedroom itself, with the wc and shower in a separate bathroom. It was well decorated and very clean. Stepped out onto the balcony and was met with the narrowest one yet and facing...

A lovely, recently refurbished, hotel which feels more like a 4 star. Two nice pools with plenty of sun beds. Beach is sand and pebbles but fine with beach shoes and the sea is great for snorkeling. The town is quiet with no tourist shops but a good selection of cafes, Tavernas and mini markets. Wonderful for a quiet break in the sun.

A lovely hotel, recently refurbished, with two pools and right next to the beach. The latter is sandy/pebbly but with beach shoes is fine. The sea bed is round rocks and the water crystal clear so great snorkeling. The town is quiet ( no tourist shops) but 3 mini markets, a selection of cafes and four good Tavernas. If you are looking for peace and quiet, along with sun and sea, it's superb.

This small hotel is very well run, extremely clean & has the advantage or two swimming pools either adjacent sunbeds. We stayed on a Bed & Breakfast basis & the choice at Breakfast was superb. All tastes catered for.. even a cooked range of foods. The rooms were nicely decorated ( apparently the hotel has had a recent refit). The small negative I would highlight is that we were given a family suite...

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel and would rate it a solid 5/5! From the moment I arrived, the staff greeted me with warmth and genuine hospitality, making me feel immediately welcome. The room was spotless, spacious, and beautifully designed with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was incredibly cozy, and I had the best sleep during my trip. The hotel facilities...

we have been there in 2016 and 2017. our favorite place in crete. feels like a pueblo village. perfect combination of ecology and holidays. warning: this is not for the luxory freaks. no pool, no electricity in the rooms, no full service slaves. if you need this, better choose the "white river cottages" in the neighborhood. but here in a.p. you get helpfull staff, lovely people and - if you feed them...

Very nice but it does miss a little plus in terms of deco, check-in/out, we would love something more personal, a little cosy touch in terms of linen, tables, sofas, outside furnitures. The place and the view are delightful, but a personal touch is missing, in the furniture, the emailings, and the deco.

What an experience! Loved our room, the "peace and quiet" vibe of the place, the no-electricity concept. We stayed for one night but we would definitely go back next year. The road to get there is slightly tricky but doable.

I hate the fact that we didn't find this yesterday when we first started looking for it. Because this was really worth looking for. It is AMAZING here. It is a calm, peaceful, beautiful, unique, and relaxing place. The room/apartment was so cute and unique. It was a little too cold for us, and the bed was VERY firm. The other bed was softer. Please get an extra mattress for the other bed also. Should...

This place is very peaceful and the staff is very kind! You have to try the breakfast with the local cheese pie, it’s delicious.

An incredible stay at Aspros Potamos! The cottages are amazingly beautiful with a strong taste of authenticity and rustic style. The surroundings are just amazing, luscious green, peacefulness and serenity just a couple of minutes away from amenities.
