We arrived late afternoon and the directions were emailed to us which made it easy to access the property. The bed was amazing and the kitchenette was perfect for a quick easy meal. I would strongly recommend the accommodation to a couple or a family.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (9 reviews)

Naiades Boutique Beach Hotel is finished to good taste and a high standard, and we really enjoyed our time here in September 24\. We loved the quiet and relaxing setting, and dining and sunbed area set on a private beach front. It's perfect for getting away from everything, and a few km from Plaka and Elounda in either direction. The breakfasts were amazing as were the staff who couldn't do enough for us. In particular Eirini went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable and special. We'll be back one day !
