Offering panoramic views over the Libyan Sea and the surrounding mountains, Spitaki offers self-accommodation in Mirthios Village. Free WiFi is available in all areas.

Opening to a terrace, the holiday house includes air conditioning and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels. It also has a living room with a fireplace, and a fully equipped kitchen. A bathroom with a bath come standard.

Maria is a sweetheart and gentle host. The house is in an excellent position; away from more crowded Plakias but close enough (5 minutes by car) to its main attractions and surroundings. You will for sure enjoy your breakfast on the nice terrace on a side of the building and the balcony on the other, with a lovely sea view. Kitchen is well equipped and you will also find a working fireplace which will give your stay an edge. Highly recommended!

Located on the South coast of Crete, in Plakias village, Voukelari Rooms features a sun terrace and restaurant. It offers rooms with a balcony overlooking the sea and garden. Free Wi-Fi is offered throughout.

Host met us and offered drinks as we checked in, which was a really nice touch. There were also some nice welcoming gifts in the room… fresh figs, olive oil, and raki. Apartment was comfortable and spotlessly clean. Independent entrance, private patio and a view to die for… and just steps from the beach, Voukelari has it all! Breakfast is available daily, and they also offer delicious homemade daily lunches for guests at reasonable prices. The apartment had absolutely everything we needed for a week’s vacation. The bathroom was modern, and the shower had great water pressure and consistent temperature. Overall, this property definitely exceeded our expectations and we will return!

    Everything was super! Starting from Artemis and Giannis at the customer service down to the cleaning lady at the apartments, I have nothing to say. They have been amazing from the start! Great hosts, ready to help you in any way they can to make you feel at home. The apartments are great size. We had a ground floor with a great size porch/garden. Would have stayed forever! Clean, quite, comfortable and to a walking distance to all shops and restaurants. Would definetly visit again and can't actually wait to be back!
