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.
It is the most beautiful place we visited in the region, with an amazing view over the see and the mountains. It is very comfortable, well equipped, details are very well solved. Decoration in the garden, also lavander and fruit trees. The hosts will make you feel like at home. Super friendly, welcoming and helpful people. Highly recommend this place for everyone visiting Crete. If we come again in the east of the Crete island, we will undoubtedly book this place again.
We’ve got so new apartment, it was super comfortable and nice to stay and enjoy the end of our vacation on beautiful island of Crete. Beautiful Voulisma beach just 2 minutes by car or around 20 mins walking.
Apartment is clean, with lots of beautiful interior things and overall it looks fabulous! Perfect place to relax like at home.
Owners are very nice and friendly people!
We’d love to come back one day!
Thank you for the warm welcome!
Greetings from Ukraine 🇺🇦
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
Loved the host, really helpful and friendly as were the rest of the staff. Loved the how peaceful Istron is and the location of the apartment. Bus service is good and can take you numerous places and very cheap.
:Locals and friendly and helpful.
Going back next year for 2 weeks.
Water views, great location, near all the restaurants and most importantly just a 5mij walk to Valusma Beach, best beach in Crete.
We had the most amazing time and Dafne is so lovely, helpful and always go above and beyond for all the guests, she’s amazing!!
Maria is very nice and welcomed us well even though very late in the evening. Much appreciated fruit and fresh water. Very comfortable and clean bedroom, bathroom, living room and terrace. It is located in Istron a short distance from Voulisma beach.
The villa was spotlessly clean with a lovely salt water pool. The wonderful staff were beyond helpful and made us so welcome. All of the locals were very friendly, especially Dimitris the manager of the villas, he’s possibly the nicest man on Crete.
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 best stay in Crete with the most beautiful, friendly, hospitable and generous hosts! I would go back anytime! And the view is amazing! Beautiful beach with blue waters 5- 7min walk. Overall a lovely stay!
In general I enjoyed my stay. It’s a dated hotel but very clean, the room view was nice. The staff is very kind, friendly especially Anna, very kind. Loved her, she made my day everyday at the dinner. 🫶🏽
Just off the road but no road noise. Super views across the fields to the bay and the mountains. A joy to watch the effects of the sunrise on the mountain ranges lying in bed or from the spacious balcony
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.
Beautiful apartment, just like the pictures. Great guidance, kind host, very well equiped - even with small presents from the host :) Great view and the nearby bay is really nice.
The view from the hotel is spectacular to a nice bay. Also the resort's staff was helpful and nice. These were the only positive experiences during our stay at Istron Bay Hotel.
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.
