• Niall (10/5): -
• Thomas (10/5): Amazing stay - The view from the suite was amazing and the area is nice and quiet. (We were afraid that the bigger streets close to the accommodation would be too noisy, but at least in may that was no problem at all) The rooms are clean and exactly as depicted in the pictures. The suite has everything that you need for cooking as well. The private pool is also cleaned regulary and a nice refresh. Marsel, the host, was very fast and helpful with his replies and always respected our privacy. Would definitely recommend this accommodation!
• Στελιος (7/5): -
• JuKro (8/5): Schöne Ferienwohnung - Sehr freundlicher Gastgeber, sehr hilfsbereit, wir haben direkt Informationen bezüglich der Umgebung und für mögliche Ausflugsziele erhalten. Wir wurden mit einem Obstkorb empfangen. Tägliche Reinigung des unteren Bereichs. Die Dusche ist leider offen, sodass das gesamte Bad unter Wasser steht wenn man duschen möchte. Einige Möbel sollten erneuert bzw repariert werden z.b. ist der Terrassenstuhl nicht mehr fest Eine Bettdecke für 2 Personen
• Carrières (10/5): -
• Zaid (8/5): - The staff are exceptionally nice. Amazing people. Very nice room. Love it Room slightly small and far from towns
• Christin (9/5): Perfect relaxing and welcoming - It invites immediately to relax and to feel like having vacation, at the own pool on the terrace or direct on one of the prettiest beaches a view minutes from the suits . The owner is super helpful and nice great communications. The bed is super comfortable and the house very clean . Perfect to stay near agios Nikolaus . The bathroom is a little bit small but that’s about it .
• sarah C (10/5): Super mini villa duplex piscine privée vue mer montagnes - Superbe mini villa avec piscine terrasse privées vu incroyable sur les montagnes et la baie de la belle plage voulisma. Très bien équipé dans petit espace optimisé Faire attention à l'escalier qui est un peu raide et pas très haut pour la tête si on est grand Manquait torchon pour essuyer la vaisselle mais sinon tout est très bien
• Ειρήνη (10/5): -
• Josephine (9/5): - Tolle Lage 3 Minuten mit dem Auto vom wunderschön Voulisma Beach entfernt und knappe 15 Minuten in die nächste Stadt. Ruhig gelegen. Sehr sympatischer Gastgeber,der uns eine gute Auswahl für Unternehmungen in der Nähe gegeben hat. Das Appartement hat alles was es braucht mit einer schönen Terrasse .Liebevoll eingerichtet,sehr sauber! Etwas hellhörig, wenn man jemanden über sich wohnen hat.
• DIMITRIOS (10/5): - ΟΛΑ ΥΠΕΡΟΧΑ!!!!!!!!!!!

• Lenka (10/5): -

• Marcel (9/5): - Eigener Pool, täglicher Zimmerservice, Privatsphäre, Lage Keine Möglichkeit Koffer und Kleidung zu verstauen und aufzuhängen, Sofa könnte gemütlicher und einladender sein
• Olivier (9/5): -
• Leon (9/5): Tolle Unterkunft mit eigenem Pool - Privater Pool, große Unterkunft, gute und moderne Ausstattung Kein Schirm/ Markise auf der Terrasse
• Εμμανουήλ (8/5): -
• isabella (10/5): -
• Maria (10/5): - Είναι η δεύτερη φορά που μένουμε στο συγκεκριμένο κατάλυμα. Πραγματικά το προτείνω ανεπιφύλακτα. Προσεγμενοι χώροι, η πισίνα, η θέα ακόμα και το προσωπικό ευγενέστατο. Σίγουρα αξίζει να το επισκεφθεί κάποιος! Δεν υπάρχει κάτι που δεν μας άρεσε.
• Perona3 (10/5): Naturaleza cerca de playa - La piscina es maravillosa y el entorno es muy agradable. Marcel se portó con nosotros excepcionalmente bien Dormitorio es un pelín estrecho y quien tenga problemas con las escaleras no recomiendo el alojamiento
• Ibrahima (6/5): - Toutes les pièces sont petites
• Samuel (9/5): - La chambre était propre et la piscine privée parfaite. Mario nous a accueilli chaleureusement. Pour le prix, la salle de bain est un peu petite.
• Anastasia (10/5): The place is amazing and so welcoming - Everything, rooms are amazing the pool is a bonus, location was great. The host and house keeping are so welcoming, friendly and helpful with everything. Great place to stay at. It was home away from home. Amazing place. -
• Κατερίνα (10/5): -
• Elisabeth (10/5): Sehr freundlicher Gastgeber, top Unterkunft! - Ruhige Lage, Einrichtung der Unterkunft, Terrasse mit eigenem Pool Dusche nicht schließbar, Badezimmer wird beim Duschen zwangsläufig geflutet. Schiebetüren wären super. Immerhin gibt es einen Abzieher, um das Wasser vom Boden zu entfernen. Ein paar mehr Haken für Handtücher im Bad oder Ablageflächen generell wären super.
• Adela Georgiana (10/5): - We loved this suit with pool, very cozy and relaxing. We booked this for 2 nights at the end of our trip in Crete, so it was the perfect way to finish our vacation.
• Diana M (9/5): -
• Lyons-Montgomery (10/5): - Well thought out property and staff were professional and on hand to help
• Alexa (10/5): Perfect, relaxing trip away for a couple - Very clean and had all the facilities we needed. Lovely pool and good location for beaches.

• Mathilde (10/5): -
• Molina (10/5): - Nos alojamos mi pareja y yo este julio, su anfitrión Marsel fue muy amable y estuvo muy atento!! El apartamento estaba limpísimo y es una zona muy tranquila. Sin duda es para repetir!
• Ιωάννης Μελισσινάκης (8/5): -
• Oceane (10/5): Séjour parfait avec une jolie piscine privée - Logement parfait , assez grand et avec une superbe piscine privée sans vis à vis . Tout le confort et personnel très sympathique
• Sadie (10/5): A perfect relaxation stay! - A beautifully clean and well equipped apartment, lovely sized pool and outside space….really comfortable. Staff were incredibly helpful, useful information shared throughout and always on hand if needed but really everything was great and really well planned. Nothing it was beautiful.
• Oceane (10/5): - Emplacement au top et logement impeccable , propre avec tout le confort
• Erkut (10/5): - Uns hat die Aelia Suite sehr gut gefallen, haben es für acht Tage gebucht. Schon bei der Ankunft war der Besitzer Marsel vor Ort und hat uns herzlich empfangen.Der Check-in war schnell und unkompliziert und äußerst freundlich. Die Suite war sehr modern, geschmackvoll eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Der eigene Pool in der Terrasse war für die Kinder Highlight. Die Lage der Unterkunft ideal und- ruhig, aber dennoch zentral genug ,um schnell zu Restaurant, Geschäften Sehenswürdigkeiten zu gelangen. Der Strand VoulismaBeach ist sehr zum empfehlen uns hat es dort sehr gut gefallen, sauber auch die Snack Bar hat einiges zu bieten. Schöne Grüße an Marsel:-)
• Nirshal (10/5): Perfect place for a relaxing holiday - The room was well equipped and spotless. Perfect for couples. It has a nice little kitchenette, a small (refreshing!) pool outside, and a nice balcony. It is quiet and private, yet relatively accessible to a nearby village with lots of nice restaurants and beaches. The host was very friendly and helpful. I don't think there's something specific I would expect. It was really great!
• Gary (10/5): Exceptional - It is our second time staying at Aelia Suites and it won't be our last. We live on Crete and always look forward to our stay at Aelia Suites. Nothing, it is perfect
• Tracey (10/5): Cute and compact - Marcel was super friendly with load of fantastic recommendations of places to visit and the best restaurants! The apartment was compact but they managed to fit everything in that you needed. There was plenty of seating-bar stools, patio table and chairs, sun loungers. The balcony was lovely too which was off the bedroom...great for morning coffee. Lovely views Kitchen was well equipped. I took what I knew we would need, but everything was provided. We stayed 4 nights and travelled around the East side of the Island so this location was great! We walked to the local restaurants and beach each within approx. 15 mins I would stay again if in the area. I found it a little on the small side, especially for hanging my clothes however I always take too much!! The storage under the sofa was essential. I wouldn't recommend if you have mobility issues as the stair case is rather steep.
• Lorelie (10/5): Exceptional - We loved our stay at Aeilia :) The room was excellent and our host Marsel, was fantasic! He met us when we arrived and was so helpful sharing information about the area and where to visit, eat, etc. The location was perfect for us - just outside of town (Istros) and close to 2 beautiful beaches (Voulisma and Agiou - the local one a town), many restaurants, and super markets. The kitchen was well fitted with everything we needed - Marsel had fresh fruit, water and some coffee pods there for us when we arrived. There was also s+p and olive oil to use :) The pool was really enjoyable after a day exploring the area and this property is impeccably maintained. We would absolutely return here if we ever find ourselves in Crete again! Nothing - everything was superb.
• Helen (10/5): Amazing place with a private pool - This place is amazing, very friendly host who gave us some good recommendations for places to visit. I suggest to have a car to move around because this village is quite small. Some great food places are in a short walking distance and beautiful Voulisma beach!
• Aleko (10/5): Exceptional - I had a wonderful stay at this apartment. It was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything I needed for a comfortable visit. The host was incredibly friendly and responsive, making sure I had everything I needed throughout my stay. I truly felt at home and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area! Everything was perfect as described above!
• Oksana (10/5): Exceptional - We liked Absolutely everything about this place, the view from apartments, people who’s working here are very nice, if we will come again we definitely will choose the same location, the same apartments and won’t get bored. We had amazing experience and amazing holidays.
• Shelley (10/5): Loved it. - Marsel was exceptional as was the cleaner & they were always so helpful & kind. Lovely property with fab individual swimming pool & very modern. We think it’s worth perhaps adding to the description that no toilet upstairs & stairs can be difficult during the night but the property is immaculate - lovely people in the village of Istron & we really enjoyed our stay.
• Christophe (10/5): It was a nice apartment - Everything was perfect, Marsel was a welcoming host, the apartment is very nice with an enjoyable view. Nothing.
• John (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful suite with a nice view. Well stocked with anything you need
• Efstathia (8/5): Very good -
• Dominique (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location for a nice couples retreat
• Goran (5/5): Generally, very good with the one issue to address - Nice property, clean, all small but neat and nice, staff helpful and provided valuable information's on beaches, supermarkets, restaurants, etc. Easy parking. Agios Nicolaus and Elounda are close and easy to access. Bad is small for two grownups and that's the no.1 thing I would change ... one going for vacation counts on comfort night sleep. Leaving room sofa could also be more comfortable. Finally, location is too close to the road so occasionally there is noise from the cars passing by.
• Jemma (10/5): Exceeded expectations - Looks exactly like the pictures. Lovely and clean, and wonderful to have private sun bathing and pool area. The staff were lovely, very helpful and the communication via WhatsApp was brilliant. Close enough to beaches and a small town which had everything you'd want on holiday. Adored the area, mountains meet ocean, gorgeous. Would definitely recommend. It was perfect. Room is quite compact, but I didn't mind that.
• Ina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Christopher (10/5): Exceptional -
• Antonis (10/5): Exceptional -
• Laura (10/5): Always a pleasure - Wonderful Stay in a Beautiful and Quiet Location Marsel welcomed us warmly and always gave us plenty of tips whenever we needed them. The place was very clean. The area is lovely and peaceful, close to the voulissima beach by car. The location is excellent, and the accommodation is fully equipped with everything you might need. Any questions we had were answered immediately. Highly recommended!
• Becky (10/5): A slice of heaven. - Absolute ten out of ten!! Firstly, Marsel the owner, was fantastic with communication throughout the whole stay, he sent us recommendations and notified us when the pool maintenance were coming. His brother Mario met us at the property and he was also extremely welcoming. The accommodation was beautiful and to a very high standard, it looked stunning at night. Wish we could have stayed longer than 2 nights!! It would have been nice to have a full length mirror.
• Eleni (9/5): Superb -
• Gabriele (10/5): Perfect stay! - Amazing stay in a beautiful apartment, close to one of the most beautiful beaches in Crete (Voulisma beach). Marsel (the host) is so kind and helpful! Nothing
• Gerardine (10/5): Exceptional - This was the perfect stay. The apartment was so clean and well thought out. Pool was perfectly located to get the most of the sunlight . Our apartment was cleaned every day and was left spotless. Marsel was such a fantastic host. He had so many recommendations for us and was always ready for a chat! The village was within walking distance and had everything we needed. Beaches were second to none. Personally I preferred the beach across from our apartment as it was quieter but that’s just my preference!! I could not recommend Aelia suites more. A definite 100% recommendation from us
• Gabriel (9/5): Superb -
• Rachel (10/5): Gorgeous - We stayed here for 4 nights whilst travelling around Crete and it was the perfect place to chill out, loved our private pool and the views are stunning
• Micaela (9/5): Would absolutely recommend. - The property was beautiful. We had our own private pool, in a lovely quiet area. The host Marsel was 10/10. I could not fault his hospitality. It was cleaned daily. The area is lovely, would recommend hiring a car to get about. We would have liked a long mirror for getting ready for our evenings out. The mattress was incredibly firm.
• Aharon (10/5): Exceptional -
• Vik (10/5): Definitely Recommended 5 star service! - Great service and great place to stay! Couldn't have asked for more very happy
• Luna (9/5): Really great ! - The place was so beautiful and clean, very comfortable. The pool really nice with all equipment needed. The view was also stunning. Special mention to Marsel the host who was simply adorable, always handful, gave us a lot of good address and insights about the place. The cleaning lady was also adorable. Kitchen fully equipped very useful. Bed was really comfortable. The balcony is a real plus. There was a lot of good restaurants around and beautiful beaches. You can directly by foot. There is also luxury club really nice to spend the day. You can go through the city in 30 minutes by foot, but I would recommend to have a car. We would have some recommendations on the place itself. For example tu put hangers for the towels and clothes from outside as there are not a lot pf storage. The bathroom is quite small and there is no door to the shower so you really put water everywhere. Very fiew storage in the room as well and it would be great to have the TV inside the room and not downstairs. Regarding the city the transportation are really bad it’s complicated to go to the nearest city. You don’t have direct bus to visit the main cities around you always have to go from Istro to agios nikolaos to then visit the other cities. Also, when we booked the room, it says that there was a direct navette from the airport, but we never saw it.
• Ashley (10/5): Simple, perfect maisonette with mountain and sea views - The maisonette apartment was perfect. Loved having our own pool, even if it was a little chilly to use it. Beautiful views of the mountains and water. Close proximity to lots of good food and other towns. The couch could have been more comfortable. That's really my only complaint.
• Kostas (10/5): Exceptional - Very well made suites, clean with a nice private pool. We felt very welcome, the host was very kind and helpful.
• Harvey (10/5): Loved it. - Perfect location. Incredible view of the mountains and ocean. Personal pool was fantastic and so relaxing. Wonderful stay. Would certainly go back, extending stay beyond the two nights we spent this trip.
• Camille (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mick (8/5): Very relaxing- lively staff. - Well equipped. Compact but adequate and bed was comfortable. Nice outdoor space with pool The chairs and sofa were uncomfortable for me - and mind your head going up the stairs if your over 180cm tall!
• Laura (10/5): Beautiful resort, car required. - We stayed in a Masionette and it was absolutely perfect for what we needed. It had all amenities to cook, the beds were comfortable and the private pool absolutely made the stay! The entire place was modern and absolutely spotless, the air con worked well and a daily cleaning service is provided. The local beach, Voulisma and the Macamre beach club were great! Food and drink there were excellent and the ocean, although full of microplastics (which is really quite upsetting) was warm and very clear. We took a full face snorkel and could follow the schools of fish. Plenty of parking at the beach providing you arrive before midday. We got there around 10am, and had first choice of parking. Beach beds in the Club were £15 each with a minimum spend of £20pp required- easily done but well worth it. Each area had its only swimming pool also. I'd recommend hiring a car, so that you can easily travel to Agios Nikolais and Heraklion for excursions, supermarkets and lots to see and do. The area around this apartment is space and you'll get bored quickly, with the local bus service not very reliable. GoMega gave us a VW Polo Auto for £100 (fully comp, no excess) for our 5 day trip, well worth it! The local town is roughly 5 minutes, or a 20 minute walk. There weren't many options for food/drink and the quality was fairly poor. There are local chemists and supermarkets but again quite limited in availability of essentials. A car is definitely needed to fully enjoy the stay!
• Sheng-fu (10/5): Exceptional - The staff is super helpful and friendly! The staff's recommendations are supper! We went to the beach and restaurants in the surrounding area (only 3min drive) . Super cosy Suite with free parking. It was a super relaxing trip.
• Georgiou (10/5): Exceptional -
• Matthias (8/5): Great modern apartment from where to start exploring the area - Very modern place with good equipment. A good bed. A very helpful Marsel who helped where he could. Cleaning was very good. Location is close to very nice beaches and restaurants/tavernes. It’s a quiet location, but (if you have a car) very good place to start exploring the area. I assumed I would have an apartment with a pool. However it turned out when I arrived that this was not the case. Perhaps also my own fault, since the confirmation details mentioned a “balcony apartment”, however since I searched via booking on a place with a pool, and this one turned up, I assumed it was included. I actually did look for it, but couldn’t find anything that said it wasn’t with the pool. Apparently I didn’t look well enough :)
• Elena (9/5): Beautiful stay with beautiful view and super service - Thanks to Marcel, we were always informed about everything we needed. Very nice private pool, nice view from the small extra balcony, beautiful design, kitchen is nicely equipped. Very clean and sound isolated. Just missed a big mirror and a little bigger dresser place
• Ionut (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderfull apartment, personal little pool, everything new. You have tasty restaurant and Voulisma beach near, that is very nice.
• Venessa (10/5): Great Location! - We loved both the communication and recommendations made by the property owner, whether it was for a car rental place, restaurant or site attraction. With it being our first time in Greece, this was extremely helpful! The suite was very clean and had everything we needed down to a cork screw for wine bottles if you just wanted to sit and relax out on the balcony. Everything was great. The only thing that we really had an issue with was occasionally running out of hot water. But we managed.
• Lea (10/5): Great, relaxing and quiet - with lots of places for fantastic day trips nearby - The host, Marcel, was super friendly and always had great tips for trips or restaurants. His wife even baked a very tasty cake for us one time. We had no problems at all, but if there had been any problems, we are sure Marcel would have solved them in a blink. We traveled a lot to a few gorges (more or less nearby) for hiking and visited some villages around. When we came back in the evenings we enjoyed the fantastic pool and view. We really could relax there. The apartment is very well equipped and provided everything we needed. The beaches nearby are very beautiful. The Voulisma Beach of course is the more popular one. This sandy beach really is great and there also are bars. We had a nice walk along and around the area of Karavostasi and Agios Panteleimonas Beach and relaxed there on the sunbeds as well. Only a few people where there. So if you like beaches not that crowded and don't need restaurants at the beach you should go there. It's a rocky beach but it also has sandy parts where you can easily enter the water without shoes. If you like hiking (and a little bit of "climbing") we recommend driving to: Kritsa Gorge Richtis Gorge (very touristy and with an entrance fee) Orino/Butterfly Gorge Pevki Gorge We also recommend visiting: Agios Nikolaos We visited the Voulismeni Lake and took a walk from there along Minos Beach, and Ormos Beach to the "Cave" which was a very beautiful and quiet place where we enjoyed the view at the sea and Agioi Pantes. Eloundas We did the trip to the island Spinalonga and also went for a walk from Elounda to the peninsula (Large Spinalonga). Sissi Village On our way back to the airport we visited this place. A beautiful village with a small harbor for fishingboats. So you see the apartment is located quite well to reach a lot of destinations. We never got bored and always could recover in the wonderful apartment afterwards. We really recommend staying there! Nothing at all. Just be aware that there are only a few possibilities to store your clothes. It was quite enough space for us and of course there is enough space to store your suitcases. It was no problem for us at all, but if you are planning a longer stay and don't like leaving a few clothes in the suitcase, you should probably book the bigger apartment/suite there. In the end we didn't want to leave at all and surely will come back, if we are around the area again. Thank you for this great holiday!! :)
• Konstantina (10/5): Great stay close to Agios Nikolaos - Our Maisonette was nicely decorated and super clean. Staff was very kind and quite helpful. Marsel welcomed us with fruits and a big smile and told us goodbye with a nice gift. All was great! Nothing. All was great
• Janine (7/5): Enjoyed the pool struggled with the small accommodation. - The pool was fantastic. The location was great providing you had a car. We found the property very cramped. The bathroom was tiny. There was not enough room in the bedroom to put two suitcases.
• Saskia (10/5): Beautiful and romantic getaway. - The complex is small and very well designed, a great mix of new and old. The suite was fully equipped with all you need, plus water, coffee and fruit to start with. From the bed you have an amazing view at the mountains, if you step out you have a 180 degrees view to the mountains, the sea, the village and olive groves. Marcel and his wife where always available, friendly and helpful, Marcel gave us great suggestions, helped organise a taxi, etc. The apartment was cleaned every day and towels exchanged every few days. I liked everything, but it is recommendable to have a car to get around. The village Istron with shops, beach and restaurants is in walking distance though.
• Anna (10/5): The stay was perfect- I just wish I could stay longer. - The property was exceptional as were the owners/managers. Everything we needed was provided. The pool was fabulous as well. I loved the quiet location with a quick drive to a beautiful beach. I would definitely recommend it and would stay there again.
• Nina (10/5): We would definitely stay there again! - The hosts were super nice and always quick to help! Everything is prepared with a lot of love and a lot of thought. It is very peaceful and private. -
• Sete (10/5): Exceptional - The rooms are modern. They cleaned our room every day and changed towels every 3rd day. They have a private parking. The host is very kind, he helped us many times with all we needed and the most important thing she recommended us many good local restaurants where we ate during the stay.
• Adelita (10/5): Lovely Family Stay - More than enough space for my family (2 adults, 1 kid).Nice to have both a balcony and veranda. The beach is just 5’ walking distance. Within 2km is also the famous beach called Voulisma. All the necessary kitchen utensils are available. You can do some basic cooking in the apartment. It was a bit cold in the evenings as weather in October on Crete was bad but the AC did their job and we felt warm enough. The private pool made our stay even more pleasant since there was no need to get to the beach daily. The parking is a step away. The Wi-Fi was good. Overall a great family experience.
• Marsel (10/5): Perfect stay. - Everything was perfect, the rooms very beautiful and clean, great pool, very friendly host…. Very nice beaches and restaurants around the corner… We highly recommand it! Everything was perfect.
