Located in a perfect place to travel around Crete. We had the best trip ever. This hotel is clean comfortable ( very comfortable beds) and it is hard to leave. This is a hidden gem and excellent value for the money.

The hotel is located right next to the beach with great view and small private beach zone. The rooms were spacious and comfy. It is definitely a great place especially for family with small kids. They have very rich program of all day activities and you can't be bored during your stay. Also they have great and clean swimming pools.

We were welcomed like family -- with raki and fresh watermelon, in the traditional Cretan way -- and felt like family the entire time. The homestay is also animal-friendly and our host had the cutest two dogs and one magical kitty. The location itself is excellent -- staggering views across Souda Bay and relatively close to many other beaches, sites, and local restaurants (though you will need a car, of course). Honestly one of the best places we've stayed in.
Plaka is beautiful and very traditional. Excellent restaurants closeby. Amazing views across to Almyrida and also views of the mountain. We loved all of the restaurants and had great food in the four thst we went to. We had great souvlaki and moussaka. House wine in all were really good. We used the pool in Emerald apartments and just brought drinks while we were there, the view from the pool wS amazing. Very easy to get round Plaka, however we never walked back from Almyrida as it is very steep so had a taxi, 6 euros.

Plaka is a beautiful spot that has stunning views of the coast and Almyridia. It has a great selection of local restaurants and shops and is only a short walk down to the busier strip of restaurants, facilities and beaches. We had the most amazing time and the hosts could not do enough for us, it was so wonderful. A true home-from-home with special touches along the whole trip. I would highly recommend it to anyone asking. We will definitely revisit the special accommodation that we found in Plakias also, a great place to tour around the Chania region and beyond in Creta.

Plaka is a sweet little village close to beaches.
Plaka is a sweet little village close to beaches. It feels more authentic that staying in the resort areas and the restaurants are more traditional and much better prices! We found Plaka to be a very good base for exploring this part of Crete - it is only half an hour into Chania and it is also possible to drive to lots of beaches in a few minutes, one of them is only a ten minute walk away.

Plaka was the perfect location to capture views and set back from the busy tourist area of Almyrida Beach...It offers amenities such as a couple of super markets (walkable) and restaurants. It is a short drive to a main highway for easy access to beaches and roads to South side of the island. While Chania is a historic and iconic city, we were glad that we did not stay there - there are cruise ships that port there and bring in lots of tourists. Plaka is only 30 minutes from the airport and was the perfect location for our plans to hike, see ruins, experience various beaches and authentic villages.

Excellent place to stay. The owner Mr.
Excellent place to stay. The owner Mr. Panagiotis was very helpful, very kind man. He helped with all the information and everything we needed. We even got some fresh baked cake from the mum and a bottle of olive oil .The apartment was very clean and everything was in order as shown in booking .com . It was a walking distance to Almirida, there you find excellent restaurants with delicious greek foods and beaches. I will definitely come back again and its a beautiful holiday home to recommend someone who would like to visit Plaka.
Georgios was very helpful and kind with us during our stay. He has offered a lot of places, restaurants to visit. The villa is very well equiped and the location is perfect. We loved the open living room and the view to the sea. The Villa is very close to the village where there are several good restaurant. We loved the Blue Elefant. ON the morning yu can walk down to the sea for snorceling and it is just 2 min walk. It was one of our best summer holiday in Europe.
you cannot dislike how new this property is. feels like the hotel was launched very very recently.
having a full kitchen in the room is great too
rooms are very spacious, very clean
the view from standard studio is awesome
the staff is generally helpful and gave us a late checkout option which we highly appreciated as our flight was late in the evening
parking is available and has enough space.
the layout of the hotel is pretty smart and cool
Emerald is a little gem, so pretty and peaceful! As a family of six, we spent seven nights (three generations, three apartments) and the accommodation was perfect.The apartments are super spacious and clean, the view is spectacular, and the pool and gardens are simply lovely! Esmeralda and her team are fantastic, friendly and very helpful! Hugely recommend and a big thank you to everyone who made our stay so wonderful!!
This was my favorite property in Crete by far it’s got nigh ceilings amazing bathroom and large room with a pool right as you walk out the patio. The hotel staff was super accommodating and friendly. There breakfast was delicious! It’s been so different than the crammed places we’ve been although those where cute as well. If your looking for more space and a big shower this place is for you!
We had a wonderful time at Leste. The staff is very friendly and went above and beyond to make sure that we had a pleasant stay. They provide everything you need during your stay (beach towels, dishwasher tablets, coffee, fully equipped kitchen...). The high ratings in previous reviews are well deserved, this is one of the best accommodations we have been to.
The photos do not do it justice, the biews are absolutely stunning, the location is ideally situated between the seaside resort of Almyrida and the village of Plaka, both having lovely restaurants. the villa itself is perfect all round , immaculately clean and amazing welcome pack. Kinga was there to greet us and was extremely helpful throughout the week
A very enjoyable stay with the family in the Demeliza apartment. I am delighted with the very friendly service and always helpful, amenities in the apartment, cleanliness. Beautiful views from the room, 10 minutes walk from the beautiful beach, close to local restaurants and grocery stores.
I recommend it 100%
A beautifully appointed villa, well-equipped and very spacious, with several areas for relaxation and a very nice pool. Additionally it is in a quiet location which is also very conveniently only a few minutes walk away from the square in Plaka which has 3 or 4 excellent tavernas. Highly recommended.
Perfectly cosy, clean, quiet and spacious place. This is real value for money, and the personel is really friendly and helpful.
Really nice area, and very lovely locals.
The food was great in the restaurants we visited, and the local icecream is to die for!
Thanks for having us. We really enjoyed.
Very nice and flexible owner and staff, super clean rooms. Best view from the rooms of the sea! Everything there what you need, simple amazing 10/10. It should be 5 star hotel! Was the best choice for my parents anniversary❤️

Great location in the cozy village of Plaka, near the beach. Super with the little pool for an extra cool-down after a day at the beach. Spacious house with all we needed for a lovely stay.
