Manolis was very pleasant and helpful. He gave me a quick tour of the town when I arrived and he also arranged informal bicycle hire for me. He accomodated my request for 4 pillows. The bedding was very clean and the bed very comfortable. There was a washing machine on the premises - invaluable to a lightly-packed traveller. The maid was very friendly and pleasant

Wonderful hosts, gorgeous villa, breathtaking view, great breakfast delivered to us. Two great beaches 3 and 15 mins away on foot. Agios Nikolaos was less than a 20 min drive away. Hosts went out of their way to help with any request we had. They cleaned the villa every day. Definitely recommend.

The apartment is so nice, it felt like home right away. Everything is just perfect, comfortable and has everything that you would need. Location is very convenient, next to all the restaurants and little stores, and 3 beaches are a few minutes walk away. Eleni is such a nice host, I don't want to leave and will definitely be back again. Thank you so much for everything!

Istron itself is a small town with some conveniences like ATM, tavernas etc. We stayed there not because we wanted to be in this particular town but because of the access it gave is to the surrounding area. With a car we could easily reach many beautiful beaches, ancient villages in the mountains, Ag Nicholas for history, churches etc. and some genuine Greek restaurants, mainly in villages. It is a good central point for many things that interest us.

Istron is a lovely place to stay with fantastic beaches and very friendly people. It is not an overly lively resort but has enough for older teens (Palace Bar was great and had lovely cocktails too and Friends had live music on some nights). It is also a great location to explore more of the island

If you want to relax soak up good food people and sandy beaches then stay for months on end. Car is always great to move around and get further out to towns like leopetra. There are nice restaurants all around the town and beyond. Never felt like I was short of choices and this trip was during April which many places close until the season.

We were there for the last week of the season (late Oct) so the hotel was half full and quiet, not sure what it would be like in high season, but we had a great time!
Great location, good private beach, terraces, gardens and a great swimming pool alternative. Beautiful views. The food in the hotel was amazing - we had a breakfast and dinner deal which was perfect for us. Breakfast was a buffet with good choices every day. The evening meal was 4 courses - all delicious cretan food and different every night - we would consider staying here again just for the food! They also had a great selection of cretan wine - very well chosen - all delicious.
Our room was simple and functional - perhaps more 'basic' than we were expecting. The double bed was (of course) two singles pushed together which wasn't so good. The wifi in the room was non existent - this could not be addressed, so we had to use the wifi in the bar (3 floors up). They should get this right for all rooms or make it clear that there is no wifi.
Ending on a positive...we found all staff were all very welcoming, friendly and helpful, with 'good enough' to excellent English (our Greek is terrible..).
We had a lovely stay and would go back.
We had a great time in Istron. The location is perfect:
- 3min from Voulisma beach and other amazing small bay beaches.
- 12min by car from Agios Nikolaos.
- very nice & traditional villages around 15-30min ( Kritsa, Kroustas, etc).
- next to the rooms there is a mini market that the owner runs, which is extremely convenient for daily stuff you need.
The apartment is new, fully equiped & comfortable (washing maschine, iron available).
Very friendly & welcoming owner!!!
I would definitely recommend & revisit.
Balcony on upper floor with fantastic view an bay below. Terrace on lower flow, also nice view.
Spacious rooms with upper and lower floor. Apartment suited for 4 people, so with ony 2 it was definitely more than enough space.
Spacious shower, which were not a given in other accomodations on crete.
Nice sized pool with numerous lounge chairs. Nice fruit basket.
Only a 15-20min walk down to the Voulisma Beach and the small village with restaurants.
Good value for money, considering the surrounding
The kindness of the owner and her daughter who gave as present some olive oil, raki and a little souvenir from Crete. I got as well some wine, a fruit basket and a delicious piece of homemade pastitsio.
Spacious apartment for 1 or 2 people.
Close to the Voulisma beach, restaurants, supermarket and bus station.
Apartments are situated in very nice quiet place, every night we slept with the sounds of the sea. Rooms are with a nice view to the sea. Everything that we need hosts left for us in apartments. We felt like at home. Very important thing is that the most beautiful beaches on Crete are there, 5-10 minutes from apartments
Rich dinner positions, sea really close to hotel, service, location, the bay, closeness to the town with other beaches, tavernas, shops. Petros, who speaks Russian and is familiar with Russian mentality, and keeps the polite distance while being communicable, made the stay more comfortable for me.
Nice terrace. Convenient matraces in beds. Great beach (Istro Municipal Beach, it is quite narrow and not many people fit there, but the water and sand is fantastic).
Owner was very friendly person, that's why it hurts me to write the honest review, which will not be very good, more below.
The hotel was excellent. It has a private beach and a huge pool. The unit was spacious and had a big terrace with a beautiful sea view. The dinner and breakfast was amazing. You can even squeeze out your own fresh orange juice . And the are ample free parking on the premises.
Very nice and friendly hotel. The owner is very carefull with all the guests and tries to help with all they need. Big apartments. The guests find in the apartment fruit and wine on arrival. Nice pool open all day. About 15 minutes by car to a Lidl in Agios Nikolaos.
They have a very welcoming and wonderful staff, ready to accomodate you're every request. The view from the breakfast bufee is wonderfull. You also have a pool, but let's face it, you come to crete to go to the beaches.
The apartament had everything we needed and was remarkably clean. It was also close to the most beautiful in the whole east Crete, sandy beach Voulisma. Mrs Maria was very nice and helpful. We had great holidays there.
We had an exceptional time at Anemone Homes. It's just auch a beautiful Apartment! The bay just across the street is amazing and Vrettos&Aliki took really good care and were helpful with everything.
The property had a beautiful view of Istron bay. Our studio apartment was very clean and had everything we needed during our stay. We enjoyed our terrace with the views every night.
We loved our stay at Maria’s apartments. Maria and her family are very sweet and kind and made our stay in Istro so memorable. Walking distance to two beautiful, calm beaches.
Well, the view is very nice. It's a beautiful bay in Crete, only for this hotel. The sea water is calm, there are not many people around you and the sea experience is nice.
We had a great time in Villa Angela. The hotel was very nice and clean and the host was very kind and helpfull to us. We would like to come back. Thank you so much!
