Almyrida Studios

We have just returned from a 10-day stay at the Almaryda Studio Apartments. The apartments themselves are clean, comfortable, and wonderfully peaceful. One of the things we appreciated most was how quiet and relaxing the atmosphere was. Despite being close to local amenities, it felt like a perfect escape where we could truly unwind and enjoy the beauty of Crete. The location is excellent, with the sea virtually on the doorstep. It is worth noting that the beach directly in front of the apartments is quite stony, including the seabed. However, the owners have thoughtfully installed a ramp to make access to the sea much easier. For those who prefer sand between their toes, there is also a lovely sandy beach just a minute's walk away, giving visitors the best of both worlds. If we had one minor criticism, it would be that there seemed to be quite a few fast-food options in the area, with pizza and similar choices being very prominent. However, this certainly did not detract from our holiday. The local Giros restaurant(Ammos) is excellent and well worth a visit. Even better, for anyone wanting authentic Greek food, we cannot recommend Lagos Taverna highly enough. The traditional dishes, friendly service, and authentic atmosphere made it one of the highlights of our stay. Crete is a beautiful island, but what made this holiday truly memorable was the combination of a peaceful setting, excellent accommodation, and the exceptional hospitality shown by Irini and Bleranda. We left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and already talking about returning. Thank you to everyone at Almyrida Studios for such a fantastic holiday. We would not hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a genuine Cretan welcome and a relaxing place to stay.

I was super impressed with my stay at this hotel. I only needed a couple of nights before going somewhere else so I booked here and was surprised at the price (especially including breakfast). However I was pleasantly surprised. The rooms were great especially the view overlooking the sea. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was amazing! I actually wished I had more nights. I also made use of the facilities available at the other hotels including the spa and the rooftop pool bar. I would love to come back another time and would 100% recommend the studios

Good geographical situation, comfortable hostel (taking into account the price). Pleasant Breakfast and view on the sea, direct access to the beach and reastaurants. The working staff is very professional, and I would like to thank the cleaning staff for their work in our room.

We looked at Almyrida residence,Almyrida beach,Almyrida gardens and Almyrida studios. We decided on the studios as we preferred the view from the balcony and the quieter location . We were not disappointed as the view from the balcony is beautiful and it was in a very peaceful location. The rooms were cleaned every day by 2 lovely friendly and helpful ladies. Irini and Artemis on reception were both excellent hosts. They were friendly and helpful. My husband was poorly during our stay and they always enquired how he was feeling and advised on remedies available from the local pharmacy. We loved the studios and the staff so much we have booked to return next year. It is approximately 40 minutes on bus to Chania and buses run every 2 hours. A note especially for Irini - we are “champion”

This was our second stay at Almyrida Studios, and once again, we had a truly wonderful holiday. The hotel has everything we love: it's just steps from the beach—about 50 metres away—which is small, picturesque, and set in a sheltered bay with calm, shallow, and crystal-clear waters. All rooms offer sea views and come with balconies that open onto the most spectacular scenery. The beds are very comfortable, and the atmosphere is peaceful, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. We particularly appreciate the fact that it's a small, family-run hotel—quiet, friendly, and never crowded. The staff are exceptional: always warm, welcoming, and eager to help with any request. Add to that the lovely local restaurants and delicious food just a short stroll away, and you have everything you need for the perfect holiday. Almyrida Studios holds a special place in our hearts, and we’re already looking forward to returning next year.
