Guest Reviews

• iida (10/5): - George and his family were very welcoming and helpful! George gave us home made cookies, a fruit plate and bottle of raki when we arrived to the hotel, which was very kind. It was easy to be in touch with them, they answered to messages quickly and helped us. The room was clean and the area around the hotel was beautiful. Would definitely come back.
• Tristan (10/5): - George is very nice and helpful. The apartment is perfect for cooking and as a starting point to many adventures, which george will point to you thanks to his deep knowledge of the island. We enjoyed our 3 days stay and would have definity no problem going back. Alas, we must return to work. For now..
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The apartment was excellent and the hosts were very helpful, generous and courteous. George provided us with a really helpful email with links to google maps for all the local beaches, visitor destinations and shops. We were welcomed with fresh veges and eggs from their own garden and the supply of fresh figs kept coming throughout our stay. The apartment was well maintained and cleaned on a regular basis. The cooking facilities with big fridge, oven, four rings and microwave were excellent, and the supply of and pots, pans and utensils much better than most self-catering apartments. It was lovely to sit on the balcony in the evenings and see the sun go down behind the olive trees. It is about a mile from the nearest beaches and restaurants etc so access to a car or bike is necessary. There is a regular bus service into Chania which is about a 30 minute drive. Also well located for Chania airport. Ideal place if you want to have a relaxing holiday. Well done George and his mum and dad for making us so welcome
• Verified traveler (10/5): - L'accoglienza e la disponibilità dei proprietari, sempre disponibili.
• Anna (10/5): - Abbiamo soggiornato nel mese di luglio nell'appartamento Deluxe per due settimane. L'appartamento é dotato di tutto ciò che serve per soggiornarvi al meglio. Servizio frequente di pulizia e cambio lenzuola e asciugamani. George e la sua famiglia sono persone speciali, ci hanno accolto con calore e disponibilità. La bella spiaggia di "Zorba" si trova vicino alla struttura così come un paio di supermarket e diverse taverne e, con l'auto a disposizione, é possibile visitare le altre spiagge splendide presenti in questa zona. Speriamo di tornare a Creta e soggiornare ancora qui!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Tipps und Informationen vom Vermieter bekommen. Der Vermieter George hatte für alle Fragen ein offenes Ohr. Bei der Ankunft bekamen wir frisches Obst. Im Laufe des Aufenthalts eine Honigmelone.
• Paolo (10/5): - Bellissimo soggiorno in un oasi di pace e tranquillità gestita da George e la sua famiglia che ci hanno fatti sentire come a casa. Appartamenti nuovi, puliti, ad appena 1 km dalla meravigliosa spiaggia di Stavros. Consigliatissimo soprattutto per la gentilezza e l’accoglienza riservata agli ospiti, per la posizione tranquilla, per l’attenzione, la disponibilità, la passione di George nell’ospitare le persone. Torneremo sicuramente, Paolo e Paolo
• Helen&Peter (10/5): - Such kind, welcoming hosts - nothing was too much trouble and little treats and gifts from the hens and garden during the week made it very special. Spotlessly clean apartment and quiet location, a short walk from the beautiful bay of Stavros next to its stunning mountain. We were there at the very end of the season: wonderful weather and few tourists even in Chania centre - a perfect week of relaxation. Many thanks and good wishes to Markos and his parents (and George in his absence!)
• Verified traveler (10/5): sehr nette Familie mit schönen Apartment - wir können dieses Apartment jedem weiter empfehlen. wir waren sehr zufrieden und hatten sehr schöne Tage auf Kreta
• Verified traveler (10/5): casa confortevole ad 1,5 Km circa dalla spiaggia - Casa molto confortevole, pulita e ben tenuta. Dotata di accessori cucina, bagno e camera. I proprietari, una bella famiglia di 3 persone, i genitori molto cordiali e George, un simpatico e laborioso ragazzo molto disponibile, se pur non parlando italiano, si è impegnato ad imparare alcune parole per comunicare con noi che non conosciamo molto bene l’inglese. Non passava giorno, che ci offrissero frutta, verdura, e raki, un liquore greco sempre con discrezione e rispettando la nostra privacy. Nei paraggi a parte qualche locale e taverna non c’è granché, pertanto per uscire la sera si deve andare a Chania, che dista circa 15 km, ma ne vale la pena andarci perché è una cittadina turistica molto originale con il porto veneziano molto suggestivo, soprattutto la sera con le luci.
• Tanja (10/5): Hospitality with a capital H on a terrific spot - We, a family of four from the Netherlands enjoyed our stay at this spacious apartment tremendously. George is a wonderful host, and so are his parents. When we arrived, the fridge was packed with fruits (watermelon, strawberries, grapes, all from their own garden), his mum baked some delicious cookies, and of course there was the traditional raki. The apartment was superclean, and with a beautiful view on the mountains, it is also really really quiet. The balcony is great, you can eat outside, but if you prefer also in the house. Bedrooms are comfortable and big. It is a 10 minutes walk to the beach and only 5 minutes to the supermarket (to buy fresh bread in the morning). We recommend going to the monastery nearby, to Irene for dinner, Chania, and the Samaria gorge. But most of all we recommend other people to visit George’s house, because of his great hospitality. If we come back to Crete, we certainly book this place again! Thank you so much, George and family!
• Verified traveler (10/5): Wonderful people, wonderful property - Staying at Skamagkas G. Apartments is equivalent to being warmly welcomed into a new family. The property is immaculate, and has amenities not found in many places nearby including screens on the windows to limit the number of mosquitoes coming into the room at night. The room I stayed in was clean, comfortable, and quiet. Skamagkas is not on the beach itself, but it is very close to the beach, and I found the welcoming atmosphere and mosquito protection more than made up for the lack of sea views. (One might indeed question how much you need to look at the sea while you sleep?) My only regret is that I couldn't stay with these lovely people for a longer period. I can recommend them without reservations to friends and family alike, and if I'm ever back in the area they will be my first and only choice for places to stay! Thank you Skamagkas G. Apartments!
• Aydogan (10/5): Tolle familiengeführte Unterkunft - Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen. Alles war sehr sauber. Zur Begrüßung gab es Obst, Wasser, Kekse und Raki. Wir bekamen frische Feigen und Erdbeeren aus dem Garten. Unterstützung bei allen Fragen. Sehr gute Insidertipps. Vielen Dank für das Abschiedsgeschenk.
• Raymond (10/5): Great out of the way place. - George was very helpful with directions, and local eatery. Greeted us and homemade cookies and treats from his mother. Very quiet and clean . Would stay here again.
• Nick (10/5): Comfortable, well-located, with friendly hosts - Our family holiday at Skamagkas apartments was great. We had a very warm welcome from George and parents. Even before our trip, George sent travel directions from the airport. He also gave us a load of great suggestions for places to visit. Especially enjoyed the super-calm bays at Stavros and Marathi, also Chania town, Aghia Triada and other monasteries nearby, and the botanical gardens. It's advisable to have your own transport to get around as public transport is limited. Roads are very scenic but need to be driven with care. Further afield there are some spectacular beaches, mountain gorges and archaeological sites (e.g. Knossos palace and museum at Heraklion). Overall, we thoroughly recommend this accommodation and would definitely like to return one day!
• Vincent (10/5): - Veldig bra leilighet. 1,2km fra fantastisk Stravros beach.
• Carlos (10/5): Amazing family-run apartments in Crete - My wife, my 6 year old son and I stayed in the Skamagkas apartments for 15 days. Upon arrival, we were personally received by George even though we came very late at night. The apartment was spacious, clean and fully-equipped. There was a nice balcony/terrace facing the orchard which was perfect to enjoy a nice dinner outdoors when the temperature outside went down. George and his family did everything in their hand to ensure we had the best possible time during our holiday in Crete. We were often given fresh fruits and veggies from their garden as well as fresh eggs, traditional sesame cookies and cakes. George also provided us with a detailed list of the best beaches near the apartments, recommendations to move around Chania and suggestion for eating. Furthermore, we were able to borrow beach towels and an umbrella from them to go to the beach. We rented a car for the entire period of our stay, which in our opinion is a must, particularly in the hottest months of summer, and we were able to access amazing beaches both near and far from the apartments, as well as other places of interest.
• Luca & Silvia (10/5): Great! Recommended - We stayed in the apartment for a week and everything was perfect, we had great time there. Rooms are big and very cleaned. The Staff is lovely Absolutely recommended
• Nitiket (10/5): Highly recommend and well renovated - fully renovated and fresh ambience .2 bedrooms well furnished with all amenities in kitchen provided. Host were very polite and made us very comfortable .They provided us fresh fruits from their farms. Only drawback is hot water in bath tub was not coming and we had to bath in cold water , early morning. Place is close to Chania airport but far away from Chania city so plan your stay accordingly. Highly recommend
• Verified traveler (10/5): This is very nice place to stay! - This is a great place if you like being just outside the city and like quiet areas. There are a couple of beaches within the area that were not crowded during my visit in August. The rooms are brand new with everything you need for a several day stay. The staff is friendly and always available for anything you may need.
