Guesthouse Gigilos

Beach. This property is either next to the beach or will have its own private access.

Sfakia -Chania, Agia Roumeli, 73011, Greece –

Lock in a great price for Gigilos – rated 9.1 by recent guests!

to get started.

Great location and staff. We stayed here after hiking Samaria. Rooms are modest and simple and typical of small village accommodations. Very clean. The included breakfast in the morning was some of the best I’ve had in Greece! The Gigilos restaurant was across the road and along the ocean - a perfect spot for supper and amazing food! The octopus was fresh caught and amazing value. The staff even gave us a checkout gift of a small jar of local honey! Would stay here again!

Ashley, Canada

Perfect laid back beach vibe. Owner/host was truly hospitable. Fantastic location. Great food.

Dave, United States of America

A treat to stay here after our hike at Samaria Gorge. The beautiful beach of Agia Roumeli is in front of this hotel, the perfect spot to retreat when many hikers leave on the 5:30 pm ferry. It is a slice of heaven as the beach is a long, clean, beautiful, umbrellas free with lots of room on the beach. Very friendly, hospitable owners and stay includes a very good breakfast served in hotel's beach cafe in full view of the awesome beach. The jetty for the ferry is close by which is convenient. A very quiet, peaceful place where we stayed for 2-3 nites in May...highly recommend. Love the homemade cake from your mother and she makes the best omelet too. Thanks from Toronto, Canada.

Had all that we needed after our long walk. Very friendly people. Their very nicely furnished restaurant directly over the road and directly on the beach with free sunbeds and umbrellas serves outstanding very fresh well-cooked food. Free good wifi in hotel and restaurant.

Peter, Slovakia

Fantastic location, really welcoming and friendly staff, we hope to return.

William, United Kingdom

A simple, but extremely friendly place in one of the nicest villages we visited. Both dinner and breakfast are also excellent and come with a splendiferous view!

Lore, Austria

The hosts took care of our bags and put them on the ferry for the hotel in our next location. It went really smoothly and they took all the worrry away for us.

Gavin, Australia

After walking the Samaria Gorge we stayed the night here, swam on the beach and had an excellent dinner. The next day we enjoyed the amazing coastal walk to Loutro.

Ian, New Zealand

We had a wonderful stay at Gigilos, thanks to the owners who were very pleasant, helpful and generous. They gave us a room with a better view, which happened to be unoccupied, they made sure we ate and drank well in the restaurant (lovely sea view and delicious food), helped us check the weather forecast for the ferry and even gave us a discount on the reservation when we unexpectedly had to leave a day earlier. Agia Roumeli is a very special place and a stay in Gigilos makes it even better. Would love to come back.

Zuzana, Belgium

Staff were lovely, we were given a pot of honey when we left which was absolutely delicious! Bar staff gave us complimentary bottles of water for the beach. We felt very welcome. Breakfast was delicious, and you can't beat the location, right on the beach with loungers to enjoy. Would highly reccommend staying here. Very good value for money. It was a great place to stay after hiking the gorge, nice, strong air-con! :)

If you want a proper getaway- BOOK HERE! I couldn't have asked for a greater village away from the modern world. Treat yourself to their great hospitality here, enjoy both the beach scenery and the mountain one too. The simplicity of country living, is incredible. Just make sure to book your stay in accordance to the ferries!

Rustic shower - no enclosure so water sprays all over the bathroom. Beds were hard. Regardless, for the price, location & personality of the owners we were happy & would stay here again.
Very friendly & helpful owner-operators, great location on the beach, good quality taverna in front. Great sea view from Balcony.
