Incredibly enjoyable but also excellent value for money. The stunning sea views, well-appointed rooms and all the amenities provided made it a budget-friendly yet luxurious experience. I felt like I was getting more than I paid for.

spotlessly clean, quiet and wonderful character fittings and finishes made this a lovely retreat tucked away in the olive groves near a magnificent gorge and great beaches...

It was a nice welcome to the property at the first approach. The room was clean but it needed a bit of updating specially with the air conditioner as it was making so much noise specially at night. We asked to change the room for downstairs as it was not comfortable to sleep at night but apparently was not possible as we were told that property was fully booked …
The staff was trying to be helpful but was not so enthusiastically supportive .
Olive garden is a nice feature to the property.
There is a swimming pool, just the water there doesn’t feel so refreshing .The breakfast area was big enough and had reasonable selection of food. The serving lady there was always positive and helpful.

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.
First we really loved the location. The property is in the quiet side of Makry Gialos and the busy area is only 5-10 walk. There is a nice restaurant right next to the property and the sea in front of it is pebbly and crystal clear.
The roomitself was massive for two people and super clean.
Finally, the hosts were very friendly and accommodating.
Very sweet hostess, very clean, good price, nice swimming pool.
We had a very bad experience with a dirty hotel (iono star hotel) and the people from helios turned our holiday from a bad experience into a very good experience !
I will come back for sure!! Thankyou so much!
- The room was sunny, super spacious & comfortable & beautifully decorated.
- Location was perfect since it was right above the Makry Gialos shops & restaurants, right next to a super market & on the main road.
- The quiet.
- The balcony & the view.
Very good price/quality. The main advantage over many hotels is that it has its own beach with fine sand and easy water entry.
The staff is great and the food also.
The internet is fast only when few people connected (in the morning).
We had a great time, very welcoming and clean hotel. It has its own beach with lighting and tables, many trees under the moon are enchanting.We really love it!
