    Everything you need and more.....

    Even before we arrived Filia was so kind and helpful....reminding us there were beach towels in the apartment and everything else we needed so we didn’t have to fill our luggage with such items. The apartment is located in such a great spot, the cooling summer breeze was so welcome each night. Filia has ensured the apartment is a “home from home” and we felt very welcomed. Thank you x

    Little Piece of Paradise!!

    This property is amazing! Filia and Kostas are amazing people - extremely friendly and helpful! The property is even better than the pictures! The views are breathtaking!! Filia has thought of everything you'll need for a comfortable stay. She was very helpful giving directions and guiding you to the property. The location is ideal! Fabulous view! Close to Ligaria Beach, mini market, easy to travel around. Filia has recommendations for restaurant too - and she won't steer you wrong! This was our first trip to Greece and Crete, so it was reassuring feel at home. It's a home away from home! We will definitely be back and we're staying at Filia's!

    Lovely apartment with a great view

    We had a wonderful stay. The apartment is as described. Filia was a very friendly, kind and professional host. Both the kitchen and the bathroom had basic supplies (soap, shampoo, dishwasher tablets, salt, tea, coffee, etc) which simplified our stay, and we were met with complimentary croissants and water (and raki! :) ) in the refrigerator. I especially loved the big lovely bottle of olive oil. The apartment was perfectly clean. Everything worked perfectly and was very comfortable. There's parking space in front of the house. The village feels very friendly and safe. There's a small market not too far away, and a larger one in the neighbouring village of Agia Pelagia. The house is situated on a hill and has great views (though it was a bit windy when we were there). It's convenient for access to Heraklion and surroundings, and it's maybe half an hour from the airport. Excellent value for money, and I'd be delighted to come again if opportunity permits.

    Great Appartment with Stunning Sea view

    The Appartment was very clean and calm. We had a wonderful time there. Filia was very nice and helpful with all necessary things that we needed there. Especially the wonderful sea view and the sunsets are stunning. We had also a great time with Filia's cats. We will certainly come back. Tip for other tourists: Go to Vrachos fish restaurant at Kommos beach. You have a wonderful view over the sea and the mountains.

    Exzellent

    Filia & Kostas sind großartige Gastgeber, die diese Ferienwohnung wirklich liebevoll eingerichtet haben. Viele kleine Accessoires sorgen für eine besondere Wohlfühlathmosphäre, so dass man sich sofort heimisch fühlt. Dazu kommt noch die wirklich atemberaubende Aussicht. Es gibt absolut nichts zu beanstanden und sollten wir irgendwann wieder nach Kreta kommen, werden wir gern hierher zurückkehren. Das war Urlaub, wie man ihn sich wünscht.

    About the host

    Hosted by Filia & Kostas

    Host profile image


    Hi, I’m Filia! I was born and raised on the beautiful island of Crete, and I currently live and work in this amazing city. I’ve spent many years working in the hospitality industry at a large hotel, which has given me a deep appreciation for providing excellent guest experiences.

    In my free time, I enjoy reading, traveling, and expressing my creativity through various crafts. I’m especially passionate about interior design—it’s something that truly brings me joy. I’ve poured that passion into decorating our home, creating a warm and inviting space that reflects both comfort and style.

    Hosting guests is more than just sharing a space; it’s about sharing a little piece of our life and culture. I’m always available to help with anything you might need during your stay, whether it’s local tips, recommendations, or just a friendly chat.

    My husband, Kostas, is my wonderful partner in hosting, and together we look forward to welcoming you to our home and ensuring you have a memorable stay in Crete!
