Ayía Roúmeli, Agia Roumeli, 73100, Greece – Excellent location – show map

Friendly reception from owner and staff. Excellent taverna downstairs with sea view. Clean, comfortable, simple, modern room. Perfect place to stay before or after the Samariá gorge walk. This was my second stay. If ever I do the walk again I would stay here again.

Warm welcome, very friendly and helpful staff. Delicious food at their restaurant. Appeared to be recently remodeled. Very clean, modern, and comfortable after a long day on the trail!

Welcoming and relaxing vibe and everything we needed. We were allowed early check in due to ferry arrival time and late check out so we could walk the George in the morning and have a shower before catching the ferry to Loutro

The hotel was amazing. Clean, comfortable. But what made our stay fantastic was the host. Nikos! He was such a lovely person, he made us feel at home. The food in the hotel’s tavern is amazing. This is definetely the place to stay in Agia Roumeli

We stayed two nights and did not want to leave. Stayed in one of the two deluxe rooms and the terrace was HUGE, with an umbrella and furniture. There were lots of windows that could be covered by shutters as needed. Gorgeous view. The sleeper sofa was comfortable. The owner was very nice and helpful. I would not consider another place if staying in AR again!

The owner was very hospitable. After the tiring hike at Samaria Gorge, my father and I just could not walk for another 3 km to the hotel. So we called and asked if they can send a car to pick us up at the park entrance. They were very kindly obliged to our request and sent a car as complimentary service. They also give us a 1 bed room which was quite large for 2 person. Love this hotel and would defiantly recommend to travelers who opt to stay in AR if visiting Samaria Gorge.

We went to Crete on low budget and this was by far the best apartment and also the cheapest. Completely new bathroom and awesome views to the sea in a big balcony, this is a luxury! Also, the windows covered well the sunlight and we could rest well.

AGIA ROUMELI VILLAGE

Paralia is the taverna in Agia Roumeli between the harbour and the ferry ticket office and next to the main beach. The original 19th century building, part of which still stands and was converted to more rooms in 2016, was used also as a police office. However, the new luxury rooms bear no resemblance to the original minimal police cells. Most of the rooms have balconies overlooking the harbour and with a view of Gavdos, the most southerly island in Europe, over the Libyan Sea. Rooms at the rear of the property look out on the stunning Lefka Ori (White Mountains) as they tower to over 2,000metres directly from sea level. A second advantage of these rooms is that when Poseidon becomes a bit temperamental and the sea gets noisy then the back of the property is more sheltered. Fortunately this does not occur too often in the summer months. Our location is thus without dispute the best in Agia Roumeli and our restaurant and the cafe/snackbar next door provide the perfect setting for watching the coming and goings of the ferries and fishing boats.

The electric kettle was very dirty inside, with standing water. No big deal, as this was the only negative of the place.

This is a basic room with basic facilities. It smelled like cigarette which is not nice for non-smokers. The mosquito net was torn. It was nice for a night but would not stay there for more than a night.
We arrived in Agia Roumeli after walking 16 Km of Samaria Gorge. It is priceless to dive in the water and have a beautiful dinner in the taverna after such a long walk. The room faced the sea and was clean. The staff are friendly. We had a nice grilled fish and prawns at the taverna.

All good, no complaints at all.
Simply a fantastic place to stay. Everything from the welcome to the room was amazing. The view from the balcony was stunning. The restaurant also offers up some delicious food and drink. If you are staying in Agia Roumeli I would definitely recommend staying here. The value for money cannot be beaten. Nikos is a charming host and would highly recommend you go see for yourself.
