My girlfriend and I just returned from a fabulous mini vacation to Crete. We stayed 4.5 days and, I look forward to returning with my husband someday! It’s not often I leave reviews however, the property we stayed at stands out. “Ostrakon Suites” is new, modern, and fresh. It is a small hotel with 7 rooms to choose from. Our 2 bedroom suite/apartment was absolutely perfect. It was very quiet, spacious, has high quality bedding and comfortable mattresses plus, large televisions. The AC works great however, it was so peaceful to listen to the ocean waves all night. So, I left all the patio doors open and just closed the screen doors. ||The kitchen is large and has all amenities needed to make meals, including: coffee maker with coffee, tea kettle, cookware, toaster, refrigerator, dishwasher, utensils, and dishes. There are numerous restaurants within walking distance that are delicious, very reasonably priced, high quality and serving super fresh food. The food in Crete is incredibly scrumptious! ||The indoor living area of the apartment is just as comfortable as the outdoor living space. Both have a sofa, chairs, coffee table and outside are also lounge chairs. The large terrace has a jacuzzi/hot tub that can seat several people. The view overlooking the sandy beautiful beach feels like a moment in paradise.||The entire property is immaculate plus, the rooms are cleaned daily. The staff are very warm and welcoming, they make one feel like family. All questions were answered through-out our stay and, it was nice to get recommendations for nearby supermarkets, restaurants, coffee cafes, kayak and water boat sports, plus how to take the public transportation into old town Chaina that is just minutes away.||Chania is a cute charming small city with art galleries, boutique shops and restaurants that line the narrow pedestrian streets. Where the old town meets the coast, you will feel as though you are in a painting. The Venetian harbor is a painter and photographer’s dream. It is a perfect place to sip a Greek coffee and pass the day away. ||I highly recommend Ostrakon Suites!! It sits on a lovely sandy beach with everything you need at your fingertips. There is so much to do in this area from: swimming in the sea, going to wineries, shopping, eating all the local tastes especially olive oils and fresh fish, to discovering the fascinating history, hiking gorges, and taking boat tours to name just a...
Read moreI recently had the pleasure of staying at Ostrakon Suites during my visit to Chania, Crete, and I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality that continued throughout our stay.
The location of Ostrakon Suites is simply unbeatable. Not only is it right near the beach, but it’s also within walking distance to many fantastic restaurants and bars, making it incredibly convenient to explore the local dining and nightlife scene. It was a real treat to have everything we needed just a short stroll away.
The rooms at the hotel are a standout feature. They are modern, spacious, and impeccably clean, with daily housekeeping that ensures everything remains pristine. The balcony was another highlight, offering a comfortable space to relax with a magnificent view that made every morning and evening special.
A special mention must go to Maria, who went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. She helped us with restaurant recommendations, organized excursions, and suggested activities that made our trip truly memorable. Her assistance didn’t stop there—she also went the extra mile to prepare the room for a birthday celebration within our group, adding a personal touch that we deeply appreciated. Maria’s willingness to help with anything we needed, especially considering we were unfamiliar with the area, made our stay smooth and enjoyable.
Overall, Ostrakon Suites is a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and exceptional service. If you're planning a trip to Chania, this is the place to stay. We left feeling not just like guests, but like friends, and we will definitely be returning on our next...
Read moreWe had a wonderful week at the Ostrakon Suites! Everything was PERFECT! The rooms have a very modern and sophisticated interior, an absolute wow factor when you walk in. You have everything you need in the room (even a pretty beach bag!) and the cleanliness was excellent. The location of the hotel couldn't be better, absolutely perfect. It is right on the beach, so you can even hear the waves from your room. The beach area was the best on Agia Marina Beach. All the good beach clubs and restaurants are within walking distance. The bus stop for the bus that goes to Chania is right in front of the hotel. But the best thing about the hotel is Maria! She is the most amazing host we have ever met! No matter what you want or need, Maria was there. She had the best recommendations that never disappointed. She surprised us one day with something that won our hearts and that we‘ll always remember because it was such a lovely gesture ❤️ She made us feel like we were good friends and without her our vacation would not have been the same. A wonderful personality, who you want to meet again, so one day we will...
