We loved the location and the host. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. And the food… wow!! So good! There are also some great opportunities for hiking and exploring.

The location was lovely, out of the most touristy part of Sougia but close enough to quickly drive down for a meal or to buy supplies. We were hiking the Agia Irini Gorge and it was very conventient for that.
Offering garden views, Irtakina in Sougia features accommodations and a garden. This apartment provides air-conditioned accommodations with a balcony.

I had a pleasant two-night stay, the host was very friendly and kind. She provided a lot of information to us about hiking in the area. The place is very quiet.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Porofarago. Maria was awesome! Her food was excellent; it was cool to know that everything was not just homemade but in many ways homegrown. From the honey to the yogurt, cheese, olive oil and the vegetables, they are all grown/produced on their property. She went above and beyond getting up early to make breakfast and lunch for us to take on the Samaria Gorge hike; her place is about a 20 minute drive to the trailhead. We also did a portion of the Agia Irini gorge the next morning and it was well worth it. Will be back! Many thanks to Maria and family!

Great room, great breakfast, free parking, and great staff. We met people that return year after year. That in itself says it all.
A very scenic drive from Chania, especially via the Omalas...
A very scenic drive from Chania, especially via the Omalas route, (slightly longer but worth it). The town is tiny. 200 or so residents, but still manages some excellent restaurants. There is good walking, particularly the popular trail - one and half hours - westwards to the archaeological site at Lissos. Alternatively, one can arrange a boat to Lissos, for a few euros, either one way or return. At 0830 a longer boat ride can be arranged eastwards along the scenic south coast. Evening beach walks at Sougia are also nice. For a more strenuous trek one might wish to visit the Agia Irini Gorge. The entrance is signposted directly next to the road 4.5km north of Sougia, with parking. It is far less crowned than neighbouring Samaria. Some 7km long it takes about three hours to walk.

It was very quiet as it is November, so end of the tourist season, but nice. The weather is still perfectly fine to go to the beach, there are still some restaurants and bars open. It's a nice little quiet place to go hike or stay on the beach without the crowds of Chania or Heraklion.

Sougia is a small village at the mouth of Agia Irini gorge,...
Sougia is a small village at the mouth of Agia Irini gorge, approximately 1.5hrs drive from Chania airport (we rented a car) It has a couple of mini markets and a couple of gift shops but the main street hosts mainly tavernas. The beach is a pebble beach with crystal clear water. You have access to bus,ferry and taxi services allowing you to explore the surrounding area. We have stayed in Sougia 4 times and we love the tranquility and beautiful mountainscape.

Very relaxing, chilled, and out of the way of the city...
Very relaxing, chilled, and out of the way of the city hustle. Quite the feeling of hippie lifestyle, with relaxed attitude towards nudists. The beach has both areas for people who enjoy to swim with swimwear, and without. There are several tents around the far end of the beach, and the atmosphere in bars and restaurants is relaxed.
Great place for walkers as well as those who just want to enjoy the peace and quiet. Daily ferry service, and one bus service.
I stayed in Lissos rooms which was lovely and quiet, and ate in Livikon which had excellent grilled king prawns, and the fabulous lamb and beans dish

What a place.
What a place. Only one hour walk (or 7 minute taxi ride costing only 10 euro) to reach Sougia from the monastery estate guesthouse.
Locals were friendly and took the time to chat to you about your travel plans / share local knowledge. The food in every taverna we ate in was high quality fresh local produce and the prices very reasonable. Could pass an entire day on the sunloungers, listening to the sea then going for some Greek food, then watching sunset. Also Lissos is nearby - we didn't manage to visit but we took a boat trip to palaiochora beach which was lovely. Didn't beat Sougia though!

Strategically a great place for the Samaria and Irini Gorges...
Strategically a great place for the Samaria and Irini Gorges. We self catered so didn’t go into town other than to the mini markets where you can buy everything. The ferry to Agia Roumelli and Paelochora go from here too.
A beautiful sanctuary in the tranquil heart of wild Cretan countryside. Exceptional and gracious service from the staff makes you feel special from the moment you arrive. Amazing views from the lovely studio apartment (we had one of the ‘older’ ones so imagine the new suites are even more special)
On site restaurant served wonderful food, and a short walk behind the hotel through the abandoned village is an amazing village taverna with spectacular views (do not miss this!)
Excellent location for the incredible local gorge walks.
To Spiti mas is a completely renovated traditional house in a quiet village in a perfect location for people who are looking for authentic places close to nature.
The food in the area is great and locally sourced. Very conveniently just across the street is a very nice family taverna and only 10 min driving away is Sougia from where you can take shuttle boats to other beaches, or buses to the Samaria and Agia Irini gorges.
The hosts are very kind and helpful, and we were overall very happy with our choice.
Simple but clean and comfortable accommodation in Sougia.
The hosts are very friendly. Quiet and good location, close to beaches, shops and restaurants.
The kitchenette in our room was well equipped to make your own breakfast. There is also a shared kitchen if you booked a room with fridge only.
We would definitely recommend to other travelers and also stay again next time.
A nice place to stay in Sougia. Parking is a short walk down the street. The host was extremely friendly and helpful, making sure we had a place to sit on the beach, and recommending a restaurant a minute's walk away (which turned out to be excellent). He also gave good advice on hiking Irene Gorge and to Lissos. I'd happily stay here again.
Conveniently located but quiet. A very small well run family owned hotel a block off the beach. Helene also owns the small convenience store next door, great for ice, wine or what have you. We stayed in the top floor apartment with the loft bedroom. The apartment has everything you’ll need for a couple of nights or a couple of weeks.
The owner is very friendly which makes a huge difference when travelling alone! She was happy to keep my bag for a day while I did a round walk as well which my knees are grateful for. Room was spacious and comfortable and air conditioning easy to use. It's looking out to sea and close to everything in Sougia.
Location was key to catching ferry to and from Sameria Gorge. By staying in Sougia we didn't have to arrive early or more importantly drive back in the dark after the hike. Although it was the end of the season we received excellent service and enjoyed our balconies room during the full moon.
lovely studio and warm welcoming people. very well appointed with everything we needed. we were about 150 metres from the sea and Sougia has great places to eat amd drink. a very chilled and relaxed place to stay. Parking on site
we will stay in these studios again
Splendid quiet location, you are both in the mountains and also just a short ride away from the beach.
Lots of hiking opportunities nearby.
And a warm welcome of the hostess Wanda, who delivers a better service than if you were staying in a real hotel :-)
Quiet, peaceful location. Mountain Views. Clean, modern decor. Spacious. Family run hotel, proprietor Markos very helpful with suggestions for hikes day trips , etc. He does everything he can to make sure you have an enjoyable stay. Delicious breakfasts.

This hotel really gives an experience like nowhere else, combined with the staff and then location you get a perfect rejuvenation.
Friendly welcome from Jason. Clean, modern room with comfortable beds (one double, one single) and a nice balcony. Set back from main road out of town but Sougia very quiet this early July so not a problem at all.
Everything was perfect, cleaned every day, comfortable, bright, airy. Possible to prepare snacks and cook in the kitchenette. The owners have the best taverna in Sougia. The mosquito repellents were a nice touch.
Amazing hotel, one of the best in Sougia. Great spacious rooms with all necessary facilities and interior design that's testament of the owner's attention to detail. Nice views from a comfy balcony. Solid 10.
We had a lovely stay here. The hosts were very helpful and the hotel is just a few minutes from the beach, a shop and some nice restaurants. Facilities for cooking are also good.
