Friendly, clean small hotel with a filling of family atmosphere and great service! The fact that it is so close to Heraklion and has a great beach and dining on the beach makes it that much better for a great vacation. Highly recommend this hotel!!

Heerlijk verblijf gehad bij Aptera. Zeer vriendelijk ontvangst. Uitstekende verzorging en hulp bij wat je maar nodig hebt. De espresso is heerlijk, ook lekker gegeten van ontbijt tot diner en prima geslapen op het dikke boxspring bed. Gratis ligbedden met parasol aan het strand. In de omgeving is ook restaurant Murelo een aanrader.

Aptera Beach liegt in wunderschöner Lage direkt am Strand und das Flair ist ausgezeichnet. Anders als in viele Hotelketten kümmert sich das Personal und auch der Eigentümer sehr gut und umfangreich um die Gäste. Viele Gäste kommen schon seit mehreren Jahren in dieses Hotel und das zurecht!!! Das Frühstück ist super und mit vielen selbstgemachten Broten, Marmeladen usw. einfach herausragend. Der Eigentümer hat einen eigenen Garten und vieles an Obst und Gemüse aus diesem, findet man dann auch in den Speisen wieder. Sei es zum Frühstück, Mittag- oder Abendessen. Hinzu kommt, dass man hier die griechische bzw. kretische Kultur viel besser kennenlernt, da man sowohl mit dem Eigentümer, als auch mit dem Peronal oft ins Gespräch kommt und so die Menschen dort und was Sie bewegt viel besser versteht. Man bekommt immer Tipps für abgelegene Strände, schöne Städte und kulinarische Besonderheiten. Die Zimmer sind alle sauber, mit kleinem Balkon, Fernseher und Internet ausgestattet, sodass man auch dort seinen Abend enspannt ausklingen lassen kann. Insgesamt ein fantastischer Aufenthalt mit tollen Stränden, vielen kulturellen Highlights, interessanten und sehr netten Menschen (Innerhalb und ausserhalb des Hotels) und somit der beste Platz um einfach mal den Alltag hinter sich zu lassen. Meine Frau und ich können das Hotel, die Lage, das Personal und den Eigentümer nur wärmsten empfehlen, denn so lernt man Kreta nochmal auf eine ganz andere Art kennen. Wir kommen definitiv wieder!

LIKED IT A LOT!
I liked the relaxed attitude of the owner! No pressure at all. Check-in happened in a second, even I had to pay some extra for late check-out. The place is really on the beach and the beach is even great and sandy! restaurant is okay and serves very fast. Parking is just at the front of the hotel Lovely place!

Amazing stay
Hotel location as describe by Hotel.com was in front of the beach, have their own bar and restaurant. Food was good. Plenty of other restaurants and bars around, but almost everyday we eat and drinks at Aptera hotel. Visilius, Christop, and their staff members were very helpful, polite and friendly.

Highly recommended and good value
We are a couple with one 14-year-old daughter and we stayed for two nights. The room was spacious and the layout provided our daughter with a little privacy. The manager/owner and the staff were very polite and accommodating. The location is ideal for Heraklion airport, Heraklion centre, beach and local restaurants.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Close proximity to beach. Generous room size and comfortable bed but my en suite facility was small and in need of some repairs and updating. Having said that I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would be very happy to return in the future. Very good value.
