Floor apartment with superb roof terrace, next to Almirida sandy beach

Almyrida is considered to be one of the finest holiday destinations in Greece. Almyrida situated 22 kilometres far from Chania, at the East, within a cove at the mouth of the Souda bay.

Almyrida has two sandy beaches, fully organised with umbrellas, loungers and a lifeguard, while there is also a third beach with pebbles just before the village.The beaches of Almyrida are awarded with a Blue Flag every year, showing that the sea is clean and that the beach provides the necessary safety features and customer service facilities.

Next to the apartment, there is "UCPA" company for water sport facilities. Wind-surfing and other extreme sports can be found in abundance at UCPA company. Also, mountain bikes can be hired from UCPA. At 'Francoise cafe', the most famous cafe in Almyrida, you should taste the delicious breakfast!

Perfect apartment, location and hosts
All reviews of the apartment have been 5* and I can only echo that. We a family of 4 who stayed for two weeks. The apartment was perfect, clean, spacious in a central location with a lovely roof terrace that we made use of most evenings and the perfect place for a morning coffee Panos is a great host, friendly helpful and accommodating, with good commons thought-out the stay The bottle of olive oil as a leaving gift was a nice gesture. The village itself has everything you could need without feeling too much like your in a built up resort. Plenty of nice places to choose to eat and drink. The cafe underneath, Francoise is the best place for breakfast and coffee The beaches are great and never felt over crowded, would recommend to anyone. . Pear tree for fresh fruit. Pizza and pasta restaurant ignore name- for alternative to meat and potato they do a cracking seafood tagliatelle

A spacious apartment by the sea
So pleased we chose Panos’s apartment in Almyrida for our 2-week late summer holiday. Panos was an excellent host, quick to respond to queries and suggested many places for us to visit. The apartment was very comfortable and well equipped but had a slightly quirky layout. We spent a lot of time on the spacious, well-appointed terrace with brilliant views of the sea and surrounding countryside. The interior living space was great when the weather was inclement. The welcome pack provided by Panos was much appreciated and we were thrilled to have filtered water on tap! Almyrida is an excellent base to explore the surrounding villages on foot and we walked to Plaka, Gavalachori, Kalyves, Douliana and Kokkini Chorio where we had some wonderful lunches before returning to the apartment for relaxing evenings by the sea. We spent a lot of time swimming in the warm Sea before visiting many of the Tavernas on our doorstep. We were sad to leave as there was so much to do and see and hope to return in the future.

Super Lage, tolle Dachterrasse
Das Appartement liegt mitten in Almyrida und nur 10 m vom Meer entfernt. Das absolute Highlight ist die Dachterrasse mit Blick auf das Meer, Außenküche, Dusche und sehr bequemen Liegen. Die Einrichtung und die Bäder sind zwar nicht top modern, aber die Betten sind sehr gut und man hält sich auch nur zum Schlafen in den Räumen auf. Panos, der Vermieter ist sehr nett und zuvorkommend und bei kleinen Problemen sofort zur Stelle.

A fabulous holiday
We had a fantastic week in this apartment. We picked up the keys from the cafe bar underneath as Panos was away however he was easily contactable and quick to answer our questions at all times. He came to see us midway through the week and at the end of our stay to check everything was ok. The property was spacious, well equipped and comfortable for our family of 4. Beach towels as well as bath towels were really appreciated. There were a few items in the fridge on arrival which were useful so we didn’t have to dash to the shops as soon as we got there and some olive oil to take home. The roof terrace was amazing and we spent lots of time enjoying the space up there. We loved Almyrida which had a family feel and had a great selection of places to eat and safe areas to swim and snorkel. We were sad to leave.

Great apartment with fantastic roof terrace
Communication with Panos was very good and he was there to meet us as arranged. He had provided us with as nice welcome pack along with a bottle of his olive oil to bring home. The apartment had everything we needed and the location with plenty of restaurants and bars on the same road. However this didn’t disturb us at all and they weren’t noisy. The roof terrace was everything we were expecting and more. I would most definitely book the apartment again. The worst part was coming home, I can honestly say I was very sad to be leaving on our last day.

Lovely seafront rooftop apartment
This is a great property. It has a seafront position and a large roof terrace meaning we spent most days (and some nights) outside watching the world go by. With 4 sunloungers, a table and chairs to dine and a sofa seating area to relax the apartment has it all. It is not overlooked either which works well. Panos greeted us at the apartment and left a lovely welcome package (great cheese!). The kitchen is well stocked and there is enough room for 4, although there was only 2 of us. Only comment would be the beds are very hard so be careful if you have a bad back - however for us morning rooftop yoga and a nice swim sorted us out! Highly recommended, thank you Panos

Great stay in nice apartment with sea view
Beautiful apartment - spacious roof terrace with great view - nice holiday resort At the beginning of October we were guests in Panos' apartment with 4 adults for a little less than 2 weeks. We felt very comfortable and enjoyed our time in the apartment and on the beautiful roof terrace very much. Looking at the sea already in the morning at breakfast time - either from the terrace or out of the apartment - always brings us into a good mood. Panos had already provided us with interesting information about the area in advance and also made sure that we found something to eat and drink after our arrival in the apartment. All arrangements with Panos worked well - Panos is really an attentive and interested host. Almyrida is a nice place with a number of restaurants, supermarkets, a very good bakery, ice cream parlour and a beautiful beach. Since we wanted to make trips into the surroundings, to Chania, Rethymnon, Arkadi etc., we had already booked a rental car and could explore the area very well. We had a very relaxed and restful holiday in the apartment of Panos and also in Almyrida. We will be happy to come back.

You must stay here!!
We had a fabulous 7 night stay in this beautiful apartment. It was so well equipped, in a perfect location, and Panos was the ultimate host. The apartment is situated right in the middle of Almyrida and as close as you could possibly get to the sea. It had everything we needed and more and was extremely comfortable. Panos was there to greet us (and also to bid us farewell when it was time to leave) and left us with lots of essential provisions and some treats including a bottle of Raki and some of his delicious home produced Olive Oil to take home with us! He also remained in contact throughout the week, regularly checking that all was well. The view from the large sitting room window is amazing, but the icing on the cake is the amazing roof terrace where we spent a lot of our time soaking up the sun and admiring the stunning landscape. As well as sun beds and a lovely shaded seating area, there is a BBQ and kitchen so great for al fresco cooking and eating, and the outdoor shower helped to keep us cool. The apartment was spotlessly clean and we were left with spare sets of bed linen and towels. The location simply couldn't be better. The apartment is above the lovely Cafe Francoise who do great breakfasts and right next to a friendly water sports business where we hired a pedalo. Several small supermarkets are only minutes away on foot, selling everything we needed, and the local bakery was fabulous for fresh bread, delicious Greek pastries and iced coffees! Almyrida is lined with lots of lovely restaurants, we were really spoilt for choice, and most of them have first class views of the sea and even tables on the beach! The sea was so beautifully warm and clear and a real pleasure to swim in, and so safe for children as it remains shallow until quite far out. A bus runs regularly in to Chania and there is an excellent taxi business in the village, so we had no need to hire a car. Thank you Panos for a first class holiday - we can't wait to return!

Great village location
Visited Panos' apartment for 7 days with my partner and 2 Girls, 12 and 9. Really pleased with what we saw. Fantastic location right in the heart of the village. The roof terrace was our favourite part of the apartment for the way it is styled and the great sea views. Inside the apartment itself has everything you need for a self catering style holiday . We ate out every night as plenty of reasturants within the village to chose from. We didn't hire a car and found everything we needed in terms of grocceries within walking distance of the apartment. Nice beaches, very safe for children and families. Panos was extremely helpful throughout our stay which was very much appreciated by us all. We wish him well and hope to return again next year.

Stunning roof terrace and views
We stayed for one week in Panos’ apartment in the village of Almyrida which had a perfectly quiet and laid-back atmosphere from 23 May. Firstly thanks to Panos for all his help in the booking stages. All questions answered timeously and he organised our transport to/from Chania Airport approx. 30 mins. Panos’ apartment is situated in the middle of the village 10 m from the beach. It was two smaller apartments very cleverly knocked into one . Two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with the addition of a sofa-bed and a very welcome arrival pack of bread, milk, fruit, wine, beer, croissants, tea, coffee, water. We had breakfast every morning beside a very large window which overlooked the beach restaurants and bay. The roof terrace however was simply stunning and very well designed with fantastic views over Souda bay , sun beds, a place to eat, a barbecue with sink and an outdoor shower. There was also a canopy to allow shelter from the sun if needed and we spent a lot of time there. Panos, thanks again for all your help and as I write this we are making use of the olive oil that you gave us as a parting gift. would definitely stay again if back in Crete.
