Aspros Potamos, hotel in Makry Gialos

Set amid the lush valley of Aspros Potamos, the 300-year old, restored guest house of Aspros Potamos features authentic Cretan accommodations.

I liked feeling like I was living without electricity and having a gas lamp and gas stove. It was a nice LARPing situation where it is almost halfway like camping. I also really loved the cats that come to "bother" you as you sit on your part of the terrace. I made a nice friend that day.

    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.

    Gorgeous location with superb views and terrace area under tree overlooking the port and beach which is a mere 3 minute walk to the restaurents and prominade.. Second more discrete beach 3 minute walk on opposite side which hardly has anyone on. Second undercover terrace to front of house provides more discrete dining and drinks with the same views. Katerina stays alongside the cottage so is nearby and at hand to assist with anything. Will definitely be back. A true gem.

    Fantastically renovated sheep barns. Each one was different but with a nice setting. We wanted to have the see view ones, but got “Skinos” and it was great. Anyways the sea is far, so you don’t see much. Inside its really well done and comfortable. Outside its so pleasant to stay in the shade in the middle of nature. From there you can do a beautiful hike into the Pefki Gorge. The village down on the seaside (Makry Gialos) has a pretty seaside and series of restaurants.

    We stayed at the family room. Perfect for a family, plenty of amenities to make you feel like home(dishwasher, washing machine, electric iron, kitchen equipment, etc). Excellent view, very quiet and within 5 min distance by car to several beaches in makry gialos area. Maria the hostess was very welcoming and provide us with all the little details and secrets according to our personal interests! Great experience and very relaxing holidays!

    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!!

    The breakfast was very good. The rooms are as described - this is not a 5 star hotel, it is a special low-tech experience, which is exactly why we went there. It is an easy 15 minute walk to the beach if you use the path. The road to enter by car takes much longer. And the staff are very friendly and helpful. Definitely a very special place to stay.

    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

    Whether by the beach or the pool, umbrellas and sunbeds were readily available, making it easy to soak up the sun. The complimentary beach towels were a thoughtful touch that added to the overall convenience and comfort of my stay. It was truly a memorable experience at Ionio Star Hotel.

    We loved the hotel. The food was outstanding, the staff smile and are helpful, the sea and beach are great, and our room is marvellous. When there was a problem, it was attended to immediately. If you like walking, do the Pefki Gorge. You walk there directly from the hotel.
