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!

We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment, which is excelent for families with 4 members (or even 5). The beds from bedrooms were big and comfortable, everything very clean. Every bedroom had a small terace, and there was also a big one on the dining area. Over all, very good value for money. Also, the bakery nearby opening at 7 am is a big plus for breakfast. Supermarket close, evefything you need.

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.
This was a beautiful villa. Lovely location and great view. We stayed in the Artemis villa which has 3 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms. The kitchen is well equipped to cook the odd meal, great when you have a toddler!
The beach is about 4 min walk away (with a toddler) and shared with the Hotel and other guest houses nearby.
These villas are family owned and run. It is genuinely a lovely place to stay and Dimitris, Marianna and Andonis went out of their way to make our stay a memorable one. Thank you for the Lego, rocking horse and cheese pie!
The hotel is really a little outdated, but very well done. It rises very beautifully above the beach, the hotel building itself is very atmospheric, snow-white, with thick walls and picturesque arches. The main advantage is its own bay and location. The staff is pleasant, polite, but unhurried (all our requests were not fulfilled immediately, we had to remind. Probably it's typical for Greece generally). There were a few minor issues, for example they forgot to bring shampoo to our room few times, but this did not spoil our holiday).
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.
The communication with Christina was always easy and she was really attentive.
The host Ioanna made our stay unforgettable and we felt like at home. One of the things that we loved was when Ioanna brought us some figs of her own tree for the first breakfast!
The appartment is clean and has everything you need for a perfect stay: kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living room and we had a nice balcony with a view to the sea.
If you want to feel at home in Crete don’t hesitate to stay at Pellas Appartment.
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.
A lovely view. The bed was comfortable . Mosquito nets on the windows out the back. Dafni was lovely.
It was convenient access to the beach and a 10 min walk to the village where you have a choice of restaurants and a couple of small "super markets" to buy the necessaries .
The bus stop at Bay View Hotel a few hundred meters from the apartments was important as I didn't hire a car ( which is necessary here if you want to visit other places while here ).
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.
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.
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 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.
I’m so so happy we stayed at Istron Blue. Manolis was such a kind and thoughtful host, the apartment was spacious, and the view absolutely stunning. I will definitely be back!
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.
