The location was great. The property good value for the money.
It is located in a small village.
Do not miss Cavo Bianco Beach Club located in a wonderful beach. Kids friendly.

We went out of season, reason being work from April until November. It was just what we were looking for quiet, peaceful. A few bars for drinks, cocktails and a few places to eat. Most others were closed, but really did not matter to us. Ideal base for visiting Vai beach and other places of interest.

Beautiful place to stay, relaxed but with a good choice of places to walk, eat and take in the sun. Try The Green Beach, it has a small restaurant down partly on the beach. A lovely quiet place to read a book in peace with crystal clear sea.

Makrygialos is absolutely lovely.
Makrygialos is absolutely lovely. The main beach is great and is perfect for children. We ate out every lunch and dinner time. Fantastic selection of restaurants. Found them very reasonable; you can eat cheaply or spend more if you wish. You can walk around Makrygialos very easily and everything you need is there. You won't find nightclubs or noisy bars! It is very much a family holiday environment. You need a car to get there or a taxi and definitely if you want to do some sightseeing.

Lovely peaceful place with a safe clean beach and plenty of places to eat. I don't think that there is a more friendly place in Crete and I am only sorry that it took us so long to find it. We are going to try and visit every year for as long as we are able to.

It's a beautiful village by the sea.
It's a beautiful village by the sea. The beach is shallow and safe, so great for swimmers and non swimmers alike. There doesn't seem to be a lot of hotels, (a selfish but good point) although there were plenty of tavernas catering for all tastes. There seemed to be enough people about to make the resort seem busy but not overcrowded.
I have been to Elafonisi and Balos beaches which are more beautiful but the facilities and clean beach means that I would rather stay at Makry Gialos. We swam every day that We were there.
Parking can be a bit of a problem as the car parks aren't large or well signposted and one is up a very steep hill.
We had great food at the Faros taverna and at the Cavern bar. A very special mention to Ian and Sharon at the Cavern bar for great (UK) food and the warmest of welcomes. We actually watched Queen Elizabeth the II funeral in the bar, as it was the nearest we could get to being there.
Most of the beach is covered with sunbeds although you only have to buy a drink to use them. I have been to resorts that charge up to 10 euros a day for two sunbeds and a parasol!
I am loving the thought of spending more time there next year.
The biggest problem for me were the fumes emitted by the Chrissi island boat drifting across the beach between 10.30 and 11.15 in the morning when it left its mooring.

Makry Gialos gave us the impression of a bit shabby place.
Makry Gialos gave us the impression of a bit shabby place.
If you leave the location of the appartment , you come onto the main road where ( if you turn right into the 'village' ) some little shops can be found. Best to stay near the location of big blue appartments.......
We had an evening dinner in a restaurant near our accomodation which was ok. There is also a fish restaurant on the end of the small boulevard.
A beautiful establishment managed by a welcoming family. It’s an ideal choice for families that wish to spend their vacations on the stunning side of Crete at the area of Lasithi. Numerous amenities and tavernas are available nearby. Owners are eager to provide all necessary hints and tips about local beaches and places to visit. The infrastructure is ideal either for enjoying time at the pool or in the beach. We enjoyed our staying!
Apartment was absolutely lovely and clean with an amazing large balcony facing the beach. Hosts supplied everything you could possibly need plus they threw in a large basket of fruit, olive oil and local pastries. The apartment is in walking distance to the main restaurants and even has a good taverna within 50meters. We have been traveling around Crete for 3 weeks and this was our nicest stay by far. We loved it!!
Like a well kept secret, Village is rustic but special.
Very relaxed hotel which lends itself to a very relaxed holiday. Chrisoulla and Nicos are honestly the secret ingredients to this place and I have no idea how the business would cope without them!!
Room(s) were ideal for our family of 4 with neighbouring front doors and a shared exit. Lunches were lovely
The location is excellent, 79 steps and you are on the beach. A lot of Crete apartments are quite rustic. This apartment is modern with all the facilities you would need to dine at home. Decorated in keeping the a sea side apartment. The outdoor shower was fantastic, ideal for a cool shower on return from the beach
Modern, spacy, design furnished and perfectly equipped apartment very close to the beach and also not far away from the city centry of Makry Gialos with restaurants and everything. Great host Nikos, his wife and others tried to make our stay unforgettable.
Beautiful traditional hotel, in great location to access local beach and restaurants.
Rooms spotlessly clean.
Small but well equipped kitchen.
Friendly and accommodating owners.
Fab breakfast.
We booked 2 days wish it was more!
Fantastic view of the beach right outside the hotel.
Like our own private beach with free sunbeds and all facilities provided.
Large room with very comfortable bed.
Hostess was fantastic and even did our laundry
We enjoyed our stay at the Ionio Star Hotel, a family run hotel in the traditional Greek style, which was what we expected. The room we stayed in was clean and comfortable and stylish. 100% agree to to stay again.
We had an amazing time with my fiance, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. The location of the hotel is great with an amazing beach and the pool bar was very close so we definitely enjoyed it !
Ionio Star Hotel was the best choice for vacations. Our furnished room had amazing views of the Libyan Sea, as well as private balconies. Attentive staff and nice housekeeping. Great at all.
It was a lovely apartment, with a perfect view from the balcony. It was clean and near the centre. Also, the pool was clear and with not too many guests. I definitely recommend this hotel.
My first time in Greece....... has made me want to return. I will treasure our experience at the hotel. Room was wonderful, spacious and very clean. Good and fair prices for everything.
Well organised apartments with daily cleaning and attentive helpful staff. Well equipped with washing machine on site. Great views of Makry Gialos and the bay. Very comfortable bed.
This hotel surpassed all expectations with its charming atmosphere, attentive staff and excellent facilities. A delightful find for an unforgettable getaway.
