    This came a bit randomly in our trip and we’re glad it did.

    This came a bit randomly in our trip and we’re glad it did. We loved Zaros for both the warmth of its people and the beauty of its decor. Our hike in Rouvas was great and every encounter was like it was family members. One of the highlights of our trip to Creta. If you like getting closer to people and their culture it’s a must on your list. If you’re into more attractions or shopping this one is not for you.

    A very nice area of olive groves and brush from 500 m up where you can go hiking right from the hotel (Agios Ethimnios, Rouvas Gorge) or from Lake Votomos. You can also visit monasteries (in particular Vrontisi monastery). Plenty of good and very affordable tavernas around.

    Zaros is a very nice village with good food (I highly recommend Vegera tavern- I got a delicious fish with different salads, fries, pasta, bread, olives, wine and dessert for only 15 euro, everything was so delicious and the owner is so nice and kind, she gave me advice on what to see near Zaros etc.), well ecquiped shops, 2 gas stations, nice architecture, coffee shops, hotels (recommended espetially Keramos hotel! - the owners hosted me at their farm but I also saw the hotel and it is amazing!), sourranded by the mountains. Very calm place, where it is nice to walk (there is a famous lake near). There is also a beautiful monastery not far from the village. It is easy to reach the seashore (30 mins by car). I espetially recommend Komos and Agiofarago beaches.

    Quiet mountain town famous for plentiful supply of mineral water. Very friendly helpful locals. Great views of soaring mountains above. Centre for many fine Cretan natural products from dried herbs to Olive Oils. Try the local Trout for Dinner.

    A very small community but nevertheless with Votomos lake, the gorge and nearby Festos a good location for a few days. Has supermarkets, fuel and atm. Driving in town needs caution because streets are narrow and busy.

    Zaros is a typical small Creten town with little to recommend it. The Idi Hotel is another world. I wouldn't recommend Zaros for anything. but the hotel could be used as a base for many of the activities below.

    It was a wonderful room, exactly what I saw on the photos, in the heart of the village. Very clean, renovated and really warm with brand new bathroom and air-condition. Usually in Crete, hotels of this price category are not comfortable in winter time (warm but not hot water, poor heating). This one was a bright exception. Ideal for a winter holiday on the mountains. Simple, comfortable and tasteful with amazing wooden floor and ceiling. The staff was very helpful and nice. We really enjoyed our stay.

    The apartment is located in Kato Zaros, which is a smaller part of the main village (Zaros) in the southwest of the area. Quiet location with great views towards the mountains in the west and north of the area. Very spacious with two bedrooms and a large kitchen/living area and a nice balcony facing west. Everything needed was present. Contact with the host was via messages only (key in a locker box), but Christos is very helpful and answers on requests quickly.

    The host family was exceptionally warm, friendly, and helpful. A delicious homemade breakfast of traditional Cretan foods was served each morning for only 7 euros. The rooms and building were beautiful and very nicely decorated. Located near hiking trails and in a small town where walking was enjoyable. Beautiful mountain scenery from the hotel and town. A very nice restaurant (Vegera) and crêperie nearby, as well as bakeries, grocery stores, etc.

    Very friendly staff at this family owned/operated hotel. Clean, spacious room and a quiet location one block from the "high street" where you find the tavernas and supermarket. As on a bicycle tour I left to early to try the breakfast. (When I arrived with my precious bike, the staff immediately, and without me asking, offered me safe storage of the bike - very appreciated)

    It is our second time in this hotel and we came back because it is perfectly located, calm, our room looked new, sparkling clean, staff very nice, yummy and full breakfast with local products (sweet and savoury as well). The taverna next to the hotel Is just perfect. You’ve got plenty of space to park. Great value for money!! A well deserved 10/10!

    This is a small, country, hotel with good facilities. The location is great, away from the excessive heat of the seaside, up into the mountains. The pool is great and the grounds are well maintained. The breakfast is good and the attached restaurant is great for lunch and dinner. All in all a very good place.

    The atmosphere of this family owned property is filled with Cretan style and love. The family welcomed us with coffee and a sweet before showing us to our room. The daughter is fluent in English, and the family is very helpful. The breakfast for 6€ is a deal, with plenty of homemade treats to choose from.

    The location of the farm was amazing, surrounded by mountains and in total piece outside of Zaros. We were warmly welcomed by the family, received cretan wine upon arrival and great recommendations for the area. Make sure that you do not miss the farm experience. We hope to he back again!

    Room was big. They try everything to make it comfortabele. The key to the door is like a door from an old castle. Zaros is the area they make the famous water in greece. Nice place in the mountains. On the room you have Coffee and refridgerator. On the first floor there is breakfast.
