Kleio Studios

Stay here, it's good for an enjoyable relaxing holiday.

Pros: Nice big room, good air-conditioning, great view, no fuss with host, location is great being close to beach but also to supermarket with a car, peaceful setting, great for relaxing on your holiday, well equipped apartment. Good value for 2025, good size balcony, parking just outside building, restaurants close by, a good place to unwind.

Cons: Just a very slight thing but nothing host can do about it. Big electric cable running in front of view, just a small thing. Upper apartments won't have this. Not all apartment have separate bedroom and living room and so our apartment didn't match the description of separate rooms but not a big problem because there are advantages of having one big room.

Pros: The amazing sunset views over the bay. Great air-conditioning.

Pros: We enjoyed our stay in this clean, spacious studio located in a peaceful part of the village. It was perfect with a rental car, close to a small beach and nice tavernas. The balcony offered stunning views of the most beautiful sunsets. The apartment had blackout blinds, free parking, and everything was spotless. Our studio involved two flights of stairs to access, so it may not suit those with mobility issues, ask about a first-floor option if needed. Communication with the host was fine.

Cons: Note that payment may be requested in cash and the nearest ATM isn’t very close by.

Living a dream

Pros: The view, the view, the wilderness of the are, the owner, the beach nearby, the church. The road to the property. All very authentic.

Cons: There’s nothing I didn’t like

A very special experience in excellent accomodation.

Pros: The accommodation was large and spacious with a fully equipped kitchen. The AC was new, well positioned and worked excellently. The room opens onto a long balcony with stunning views (and even more stunning sunsets). The bed was very comfortable and the shower strong and hot. The apartment was spotlessly clean and met all my expectations from the Booking.com website. Parking is available and free. The host, Lefteris, was kind and helpful. It is only a short drive down to the beach and a local taverna - family run - and arguably the best food I have had in Crete. This area of Crete is very special and easy to explore. The perfect stay.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: This is one of the best places we stayed in Crete yet. You definitely have to use a car to rich this place but being far from large settlements is a big advantage. This place have a wonderful view on a sea bay, there are some hiking trails around. Shower, kitchen, beds and everything else was completely ok. The owner was very friendly.

Cons: Maybe having a microwave in the apartment would be good but we managed to deal without it.

Breathtaking view from the balcony! (and I am Italian, I saw many incredible views in my life)

Pros: Panorama from the balcony: exceptional, breathtaking. The host who welcomed us very kind and helpful.

Pros: Open doors to balcony in both bedroom and living area . Big balcony.with great view.over the sea.

Cons: Overhead electric cable marred the view a bit- but hey it's Greece .... what can you do.

Pros: Very clean, large and comfortable room. Very quiet place with spectacular view. The only thing that didn't work was the wi-fi.

Cons: The wi-fi.

Breathtaking panoramic view, an endless blue

Pros: (+) View: Breathtaking panoramic view of the blue sea, from every window. Note that there is a cable line in front of the balcony, visible from all the lower floor apartments. But it is not obstructing the view. (+) Comfort: The bed was comfortable, good for having long rests. (+) Flexibility: The host is really flexible with check in/out times. We were given instructions for self-check in and out, giving us opportunity to pace our trip without having to care about time. The road around Kleio studios is cliffside with some exposed sections, so responsible careful driving is required. After getting used to it, you realise how close it is by car to get around: highway road (5 mins), Chania (30 mins), Kissamos (15 mins), beach (3 mins)

Cons: (-) Absense of some basic ammedities: like spare garbage bags (considering room service cleans room every 3 days), extra towels & pillows (-) Payment: Since the host manages all payments, be prepared to pay in cash if requested. We spent lot of precious vacation time trying to find an ATM that has low fee, as we do not like to carry cash around. The Bank of Chania was the best, fixed 2.5€ fee for all transactions. But it is an additinal expense to account for.
