Beautiful horizon view from the hill. Every morning I woke up with the sea view and every evening I ended the day with the view of the sunset. Marina was very kind, very available and flexible

check in didn’t tell me there was breakfast offered. however, the hostel is about a 5-10 min walk from matala beach & so it’s close enough to get there timely but not too close it’s so crowded. great location

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Nice spot close by Matala village for stop over. Room was minimalistic and super clean and we were welcomed with home made cake. Kindness of the owner 10/10 :) Kitchen facilities is opposide the accommodation , on the other side of the yard, stuff similar like in Hostel. If you want to get something to eat or shopping you to have walk around 15minutes to those places or by the car just 3 minutes.

    Great location, amazing swimming pool, view and privacy. You can enjoy the nature’s sound throughout the day. Within 3 minutes by car you are in the centre of Pitsidia, 5 more minutes you get to Matala beach. We had an unforgettable time there and Eleni is an adorable person, we definitely wish to come back.

    Lot's of people seem to be returning guests who like to stay here for longer as it is cheap, clean and well located. The owner is a super friendly woman who is so welcoming. The shower pressure is also one of the best I ever had. Extra points for the shower!

    Sofia is a gem of a host and the hostel is neatly tucked away in a small alley right next to the main plaza! The kitchen is well equipped but could do a couple of basic condiments like oil. If you're lucky she will send Michalis to pick you up from the airport!

    A lovely hostel in the heart of Pitsidia. Friendly environment run by Sofia herself. Each of the seven rooms have a fridge and they all share a public kitchen. In a convenient spot very close to the square of the village. Free parking in adjacent space. Very clean and well cared in total. This is cretan hospitality!

    Great spacious villa with AC and mosquito nets in every room. Rooftop terrace has a bit of sea view. All cooking utensils and basics provided. Great location in Pitsidia, less than 5 minutes walk to supermarket and great restaurants. There is a shared swimming pool with another identical villa.
