Simple barn conversion studio apartment in a stunning spot right by a tranquil bay, shaded by tamarisk trees. Friendly staff and a nice taverna. Perfect for complete relaxation. We’d seen these rooms on previous visits to Frangkocastello and felt lucky to find availability for our brief 2 night stay. The studios weren’t amazingly modern but were comfortable and had everything we needed, and we would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful one night stay at this cute, Traditional but super cosy hotel and would certainly stay again for longer. Its convenient for the beach, peaceful and the staff super friendly, with the option of a wonderful breakfast a real bonus.
It also has access to a lovely cosy peaceful beach with crystal clear sea with a seperate relaxed family beach bar ( NOT the noisy loud music kind ) that has occasional live music nights and the sunbeds are FREE for hotel guests.
A complete chillout place, perfect for complete relaxation and we have now added this place to our favourites!

We had a gorgeous view of the beach and the sea from our balcony. Artemis and Michaelis, the owners, were extremely friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant was delicious. All cooked by Artemis’s mum, Maria. We stayed three nights and ate there twice. It’s a good place to stay if you want to walk Imbros Gorge which is less than 10k away. There is also a supermarket and a great bakery/cafe just across the road.
Located right on the sandy beach of Frangokastello, Studios Stavris features a garden, a sun terrace and a snack bar.

Off season it was a dream. Quiet, beautiful, close to a really good restaurant. Lovely beach to walk along . Sleeping to the sound of the waves. Great location and scenery. Amazing value for money. It may be that in the heat of summer some of these good things suffer but in early May it was magical and we will hope to return off season next year.
In a most scenic location, enjoying the background of the Lefka Ori and the Libyan Sea, Kallicrates Village is located at Fragokastello, 11 km east of Sfakia, at the southern coast of Crete.

Big apartment with amazing view, loved the terraces and that it was so close to the beach. Also loved that there were insect screens. Very calm town, fairly secluded but still had taverns and supermarket, so everything needed.
Featuring a private restaurant, Orthi Ammos is offering rooms with a private balcony and patio overlooking the sea, garden and the Venetian castle of Frangokastello.

There was easy access to a very quiet and very nice beach. The restaurant attached to the hotel was very good. There was a great sunset view from the balcony.

Wild and wonderful corner of South Crete, with not many turists. Frangokastello offers the possibility to know sea and mountains, beaches are beautiful and of different typologies (sandy, pebbles, cliff). Tavernas (fish and/or meat) are numerous and of very good quality, not at all expensive

I liked the hosting family very much, who did their best to make us comfortable after we complained about our first night there with no hotwater or view of Sea as advertised.We were moved upstairs to a better room. We enjoyed walking to the bakery for fresh bread and baked goods and a good supermarket was near. Also a good bay for swimming and lots of naturewalks in area but you need a car. Took ferry to Agia Roumeli whereas walked to a part of the Samaria gorge from the south

We are regular visitors to Frango.
We are regular visitors to Frango. It is a beautiful quiet location with a great selection o. While there are 4 or 5 tavernas near the Venetian castle tavernas ( Avoid Drousillites) the rest are spread out over 3/4 kilometres from Vatalos (Sfakia direction) on the west to Zorbas (highly recommended on the east (Plakias direction)
Three distinct beach areas
1. Orthi Amnos long golden beach reached directly by steps near the beautiful Paradisos/Fata Morgana complex.
2. The Venetian castle again golden sands and water that remains shallow for a couple of hundred metres so very suitable for young kids or nervous swimmers/paddlers.
3. Near Stavros Taverna and Stavris Apartments and and stone beach with free sunbeds under shady trees. ( buy a drink or meal at the tavernas.
Frango stretches over a flat plateau-like area (about 6Km X 3km oval shape locked between the Libyan sea and the impress Lefka Ori mountains close to the IMBROS GORGE. A car is very useful but not essential. Bicycles are wonderful alternative and some apartments provide these complimentary. For us the heart of the community is the Taverna Kali Cardia (Good Heart) run by Thanassos and his son Alexi. Always good company and with fabulous traditional home-cooked Cretan meals. We have been travelling here for over 25 years and regularly encounter friends on return visits in this homely taverna.

We loved southern Crete.
We loved southern Crete. Much less built up and touristy than the north. The beaches are nice and gently sloping - amazing turquoise water. We had a day when the wind was really blowing but otherwise it was beautifully calm and enjoyable. Great place to explore more of the southern coast from.

the accomodation we stayed in didn’t fullfill our expectations, but for just staying the night was it ok. Definitely recommend the beach. It is beautiful with just few people and amazing views, sand beach and sea. I also recommend the taverna above the beach, it was very tasty and for a perfect price. The best trip we made was the Imbros gorge, even though there were a lot of people but it was very nice.

It's 15th year of my family's holidays there.
It's 15th year of my family's holidays there. We really love the city and all surrounding places. It's impossible to get bored.
I really love Vatalos Taverna and their family's concept for traditional cretan cuisine, cleanliness and friendship. Corali is a new nice discovery for us, after a short visit 2 years ago to one of their music nights.
Very pleasant stay at Paradisos in the less touristic part of the island. The apartment was very clean, specious, well equipped and conformable with a large terrace overlooking the sea. The beach over the street was actually the one we liked most in the area.
Well stocked stores are available in a short distance via car and there are two tavernas close to the accommodation for which you don't need to have a car.
I saw some old reviews mentioning the lack of air conditioners, but we had both fans and air conditioners in each rooms.
The location is perfect. The hotel is just a few metres from a gorgeous sandy beach. The room is good value for money. What I liked most about it was the private balcony in the garden, with a view of the castle, the mountains and the sea, ideal for those who want to take their breakfast privately and enjoy nature. The restaurant, the same as the hotel, low prices but delicious food and great view. The staff are friendly and helpful people. Don't forget to try the local cheese pies served with honey made by the kind hospitable owner.
Great location in Frangokastello. Close to beautiful beaches, a small supermarket and some tavernas. The flat is very clean and bed sheets/towels were changed every 3 days. The owners are lovely and very friendly and accommodating. Their nephew owns Taverna Giorgio, which has delicious food at very good prices. But don’t come to Frangokastello expecting resort hotels and high-end restaurants - it’s a very relaxed, chilled place for people wanting to disconnect and get away from it all :)
We have stayed at Fata Morgana 4 times before and love the place and the family that cares for it. We were impressed by the upgrades since our last visit. We love it so much that I hesitate to give a rave review because part of what we love is that the area is not crowded with tourists. Quiet beach (with a clothing optional section), lots of tavernas within walking distance, lots of wonderful walks and hikes all over SW Crete.
The location is perfect, about max 10 minutes walk to the beach. The house is perfect for 4 persons, and very clean. The cleaning service in every few days is an added bonus. The lady at the property is just as a second grandma for the stay -always helpful, friendly, bringing fruits as well. Everything worked excellent. If we come to Crete again, we would like to stay again. Clear recommendation from us.
Awesome location, I'd say probably the best in Frangokastello. Very nice and friendly staffs. You can snorkel in the private beach of the hotel with their snorkeling equipments. They helped us in planning our Loutro trip as well. Nice food in the hotel, as well as very nice tavernas right outside. If you wish to relax, this is the place.
The best place I’ve been while I was in Crete.
location is just speechless, 30 mins from Sfakia. you are surrounded by nature and nothing else. just few steps and you have this cliff and down below a private beach.
I very much recommend it for any ruppe of stay (from 1 night up to stay for the whole vacation).
The location was across the Lybian sea. It was quiet and cozy with beautiful and natural surroundings. The small kitchenette was just what we needed for our morning coffee and breakfast. Then we were off to enjoy many much if Southern Crete. It's not far from Chora Sfakion. We enjoyed every minute.
It's not my first review for this place and it's not my first time there either. I know the hotel before it got renovated and modernized and it never failed to amaze. Beautiful peaceful location, nice taverna next to it and great great beds. Thank you for an amazing stay.
Best location in Crete!!! Right in front of the sea. Quiet place, great sand beach and also rocky beach for snorkelling. Fabulous resting place. Apartment basic but has all you need. Definitely recommended! Food was excellent and staff super friendly
Very beautiful hotel with a lot of charm. The staff was very friendly. Spacious room with s beautiful sea view and yet very affordable. The breakfast was great as well. I would definitely recommend this hotel and will come again.
This was a nice hotel in a good location, right next to Frangokastello. It was easy to walk to the beach under the castle for a swim. The room was nice ... not fancy, but we were happy with it.
Great location, very friendly staff and open space to breath ;-) we also enjoyed the pool of the hotel and we are proposed a few things that all become great experiences. Great wi-fi!
