Marika Studios & Apartments — Hotel in Municipality of Apokoronas

Stayed here for the last 3 nights of a 2 week holiday-next time we will stay at Marika for the full fortnight! Travelled with my 17 year old son and 24 year old daughter. From the moment we arrived,we were overwhelmed by the kind hospitality of Stephanie and her son Rich,who provided us with a welcome drink and gave us information about the surrounding area. Rich then helped us take our luggage to the room. We were amazed with the breathtaking views-the photos don't do it justice. Stayed in the 1 bed apartment,spotlessly clean with air con. Lovely deep pool with a diving board,and although it is a haven of peace and tranquility,we had some good fun practising our dive-bombing skills! Rich invited the kids to play cards and introduced them to his friends. Can't fault this lovely place,beautiful setting,lovely owners and we will definitely return. Thanks for a...

Spent a week here in early October pretty much had the place to ourselves. Stephanie was a fabulous host making us very welcome and nothing was to much trouble. Would suggest that the room facilities were a little basic with a fridge, two burner electric hob, kettle and a few pots, pans, plates and cutlery. No toaster though.

To the point, and as with the majority, if not all, of previous reviews, Marika is pure heaven. A totally fabulous experience, on all levels. Richard and his family, and the housekeeper, Monika, are wonderful, could not be more kind and helpful. Views? Out of the world. Rooms? The same. As I said then and now, if these apartments were on Ibiza or Mykonos, you'd be stung for 2,000 euro a week. Exopolis was also fab, as was Vamos with its great tavernas. We're going back next year. Period. And the following year. Etc. Etc. The nearest town, down the hill, also fab, and you're between two of the most beautiful cities on the wonderful Island of Crete. Don't take my word for it, mind: Go. And enjoy...
