Whether by the beach or the pool, umbrellas and sunbeds were readily available, making it easy to soak up the sun. The complimentary beach towels were a thoughtful touch that added to the overall convenience and comfort of my stay. It was truly a memorable experience at Ionio Star Hotel.

Excellent studio with well-equipped kitchenette, good beds and shower, and nice swimming pool. Very friendly owners ! The location is somehow isolated (but this also makes it quiet), but is well sign-posted and therefore easy to find. It is only 200m from the beach although the walk is a bit dull.
Villa Xenia is located in a garden just above the beaches of Diaskari and Lagada in Makrigialos. It features self-catered accommodation with a balcony overlooking the Libyan Sea.

Very nice host, waiting for me for a late arrival. She prepared breakfast items, which is very grateful, specially arriving post midnight. The room was cozy, with a great view. I appreciated access to private parking.

Katerina was a wonderful host and very friendly and helpful. The villa was very traditional and comfortable and had everything you needed. The view from the balcony/veranda area across to Makrigialos was very pretty. It was only a short walk to the beach and tavernas. Would love to stay again.

We went out of season, reason being work from April until November. It was just what we were looking for quiet, peaceful. A few bars for drinks, cocktails and a few places to eat. Most others were closed, but really did not matter to us. Ideal base for visiting Vai beach and other places of interest.

Beautiful place to stay, relaxed but with a good choice of places to walk, eat and take in the sun. Try The Green Beach, it has a small restaurant down partly on the beach. A lovely quiet place to read a book in peace with crystal clear sea.

Makrygialos is absolutely lovely.
Makrygialos is absolutely lovely. The main beach is great and is perfect for children. We ate out every lunch and dinner time. Fantastic selection of restaurants. Found them very reasonable; you can eat cheaply or spend more if you wish. You can walk around Makrygialos very easily and everything you need is there. You won't find nightclubs or noisy bars! It is very much a family holiday environment. You need a car to get there or a taxi and definitely if you want to do some sightseeing.

Lovely peaceful place with a safe clean beach and plenty of places to eat. I don't think that there is a more friendly place in Crete and I am only sorry that it took us so long to find it. We are going to try and visit every year for as long as we are able to.

It's a beautiful village by the sea.
It's a beautiful village by the sea. The beach is shallow and safe, so great for swimmers and non swimmers alike. There doesn't seem to be a lot of hotels, (a selfish but good point) although there were plenty of tavernas catering for all tastes. There seemed to be enough people about to make the resort seem busy but not overcrowded.
I have been to Elafonisi and Balos beaches which are more beautiful but the facilities and clean beach means that I would rather stay at Makry Gialos. We swam every day that We were there.
Parking can be a bit of a problem as the car parks aren't large or well signposted and one is up a very steep hill.
We had great food at the Faros taverna and at the Cavern bar. A very special mention to Ian and Sharon at the Cavern bar for great (UK) food and the warmest of welcomes. We actually watched Queen Elizabeth the II funeral in the bar, as it was the nearest we could get to being there.
Most of the beach is covered with sunbeds although you only have to buy a drink to use them. I have been to resorts that charge up to 10 euros a day for two sunbeds and a parasol!
I am loving the thought of spending more time there next year.
The biggest problem for me were the fumes emitted by the Chrissi island boat drifting across the beach between 10.30 and 11.15 in the morning when it left its mooring.

Makry Gialos gave us the impression of a bit shabby place.
Makry Gialos gave us the impression of a bit shabby place.
If you leave the location of the appartment , you come onto the main road where ( if you turn right into the 'village' ) some little shops can be found. Best to stay near the location of big blue appartments.......
We had an evening dinner in a restaurant near our accomodation which was ok. There is also a fish restaurant on the end of the small boulevard.
Ideally situated a short distance from the lovely village of Makriagialos, this apartment hotel has a good cafe/bar and two lovely pools as well as access to a nearby beach. There was parking on site. The apartment was well appointed with two bedrooms and two balconies as well as a large roof terrace. The views are second to none!
The location, the food, the large elevated room with exceptional sea views and above all the genuine warm Greek welcome. This is our third stay as we go elsewhere in Greece and although we enjoy the experience, none of them come close Artemis. Efcharitoume Kiria Despina kat team.
