At the nth hour, my boyfriend and I needed accommodation for a few nights.||Giorgi was most hospitable and confirmed the booking promptly. Upon arrival he was very friendly, offering food, despite it already being late. We were also offered a lift to a nearby restaurant.||He had received another last-minute booking, so, based on availability, kindly upgraded our booking from a 1 bed apartment to a 2 bed apartment.||Giorgi's Blue Apartments are also described as being a hotel. In essence, today (there is indication that more meals were served historically) this is a comfortable aparthotel, with an inclusive breakfast. The breakfast caters for most needs, with breads, cereals, cheeses, meats and pastries, and excellent 'on tap' fresh orange juice.||The apartments are very clean, each coming with its own kitchenette, coffee-making facilities and microwave. The memory foam pillows and mattresses are very comfortable. Our cute balcony overlooked the swimming pool and bar and had a wonderful view of the sea.||The grounds are also very clean and so pretty with lots of colour from the well-maintained flora and fauna.||The lodging's 3 star grade is probably accurate. But the property is unique, coming with its own private access to the sea and peaceful bay. With only a short descent to clear waters, various sunloungers are strategically placed amongst the rocks, creating a tranquil haven.||The staff are very helpful and given the private bay access this property is highly recommended. Easy access to Chania airport (15 minute drive) and Konoupidiana for restaurants and supermarkets. A peaceful place on Akrotiri. ||We would definitely return to this lovely accommodation.||Thank you Giorgi for our...
Read moreHaving narrowed down what we liked via Tripadvisor up popped Giorgi's Blue Apartments. An email was promptly answered by George and a booking made for 19-26th June. One of the things that attracted us was a short journey from the airport as we couldn't face a long transfer. We took a cab from Chania airport and were at the apartments 15 minutes later & were greeted & wonderfully looked after by Annelise.
Setting/Location - Very Peaceful (apart from the odd plane from the airport). Large pool and a very short walk down to the cove with the sea accessible from ladders or just by diving in! The apartments are a good 10-15 minutes walk from a couple of Taverna's and a small beach so this is a very quiet and peaceful area. If you're wanting to explore a car is a must (although we just wanted to chill so took a cab to Chania one night, walked to a taverna another and then just stayed at the apartments). There's a well stocked supermarket 5-10 mins walk away.
Apartments - Beautiful. Clean with full kitchens and, for once, enough coat hangers! Cleaners obviously like working there as the place is immaculate!
Food - Breakfast was a relaxed affair with plenty of choice and a fresh orange juice machine which juiced to order! A hit with everyone. Poolside bar had plenty of drinks and food is Greek or Tuna Salad and Toasties.
Staff - other than the setting and standard of accommodation the real thing that makes you feel welcome are the staff from the lovely cleaners to the small but dedicated team. Everyone is wonderful, even George (lol he's lovely). One of the reasons we'll be returning.
Thanks George and the team for a wonderful peaceful and...
Read moreOur trip to Crete was a spontaneous adventure—we booked on a Tuesday afternoon and were on a flight the very next morning. With only four days to explore, we wanted to stay somewhere close to the airport, and thanks to the glowing reviews, choosing Giorgi’s was an easy decision. What we didn’t expect was just how much it would exceed our expectations.||The location, while a bit tucked away, was peaceful and incredibly charming. Despite its quiet setting, it only took about 15 minutes by taxi to reach the beautiful old harbour in Chania.||Our room was spacious and offered stunning views of the ocean and sunset—truly a highlight of our stay. A special bonus was the sunbeds set up on the cliffs right next to the hotel, with direct access to the sea via a small ladder. It felt like having our own private slice of the Mediterranean.||Everything was spotlessly clean, and the shared spaces were warm and inviting. The staff were outstanding, especially George and Annaelise, who made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we arrived.||We wholeheartedly recommend this hotel and would love to return someday. It was the...
