So Young Hostel is situated in Heraklio Town, a 4-minute walk from Heraklion Archaeological Museum and 400 metres from Venetian Walls. Popular points of interest around the property include Municipal Museum of the Battle of Crete and the National Resistance and Koules. Attractions in the area include The Minoan Palace of Knossos, 5 km away. Despite I stayed in 8 beds dorm, it was quite comfortable and due to the curtains I had privacy. And the terrace was amazing place to have a breakfast & coffee. Also I've met nice people to have a small talk.

Located in Pitsidia and within 2.3 km of Kommos Beach, Sofia rooms features a garden, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi throughout the property. Located around 7.5 km from Phaistos, the hostel is also 10 km away from Museum of Cretan Ethnology. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available. Great and quiet location very close to the main square in Pitsidia and easy enough walk to the beach. Sofia is very helpful and the common kitchen and laundry room were wonderful. The courtyard patio was the perfect place to hang out.

Situated in Chania Town, within 300 metres of Kladissos Beach and 1.6 km of Etz Hayyim Synagogue, Constantinos Budget Beds features free WiFi throughout the property. The property is located 2.8 km from Chania Old Venetian Harbour, 1.7 km from Mitropoleos Square and 1.7 km from Folklore Museum of Chania. Kucuk Hasan Mosque is 1.9 km away and Firkas Fortress is 2 km from the hostel. The pictures don't do it justice. I thought it was going to have just the bunk beds, but it even has a kitchen and a couch to hang out at. Also the bathroom is private, which is not visible in the pictures or listed in the property amenities. It's quite spacious and in a decent location (20-30 minutes walk from the center), with easy parking. Amazing for its price
