Jamie United States of America

Maike United States of America

The room had was very clean. It was very spacious expecially as a solo traveler. There was also an awesome patio with a beautiful view of the ocean and sunrise each morning.

Trina United States of America

It’s right at the beach, in the center of town, beautiful taverna, cafe and guest house covered in vines and so welcoming. The room was big and perfect for our family of 4 adults (could have been 5) with a balcony and view of the water. the owner Nikos was so helpful and friendly and the dinner and breakfast were authentic Greek and delicious with lots of variety. Was hard to leave!

Lynley United States of America

The private patio overlooking the sea was amazing. There are comfortable chairs and two beach loungers with a large umbrella to relax under. The property owner, Nikos, is incredibly friendly and really makes your stay even better. The attached taverna is great too!

Patrick United States of America

Location was great, very easy to find when coming out of the gourge. The host helped us book a water taxi out on our last day so we didn't have to wait for the ferry. The beach was great for playing in the waves.

Margaret United States of America

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!

Anonymous United States of America

Exeptional place. The view is breathtaking, the terrace is spacious and comfortable - providing some shade all day long. The owner is nice and friendly. We would love to come again.

Gabriela Czech Republic

Great location. View to the sea. Very clean room. Mr. Nikos and the rest of the staff made us feel very welcome. The taverna below the hotel, has excellent food and great "raki". Totally recommended and differently, we will be back.

PARALIA GUEST HOUSE AGIA ROUMELI
The taverna is owned and run by truly local people of Sfakian origin. At times four generations can be encountered in the business; Papous (great grandfather) Georgus can be seen while he prepares the Zuchini flowers for their feta/rice filling local dish; his wife still tends daily to the watering of the cultivated flowers; Eleni, their daughter is very much a "hands-on" chef in the kitchen as she ensures that the traditional local foods are cooked using the same recipes handed down through the generations; her husband, Manolis, is busy with the farming of animals and produce to supply Paralia guests with organic food like it used to taste in the past; their son, Theodo, when not in charge of the grill has taken over the fishing task from his father using the same sustainable techniques as of old and resulting in really fresh fish on the menu dependent, of course, on the weather and an element of luck for the fisherman: Manolis' brother, the charming Nikos, is the person with whom most guests of Paralia will come into contact as he tries to ensure their every wish is met and they enjoy the experience of genuine Sfakian hospitality.
Agia Roumeli is located at the foot of the Samaria Gorge as it exits into the Libyan Sea. During the afternoons from 14.30 till 17.30 the village tavernas are occupied by often exhausted walkers who have descended the gorge and require refreshments/sustenance to revive low energy levels. As the last ferry leaves at 17.30 the atmosphere in the village changes from one of commerciality to a much more relaxed and tranquil scene where visitors and locals can enjoy the peaceful and quite atmosphere in beautiful natural surroundings. There is no road connection and access is only by sea , the gorge, or a long arduous walk along the coastal path of the Cretan Way (part of the trans Europe E4 pathway system stretching from The East of Crete into Spain). This provides the perfect setting for those seeking escape from the much more commercial and hectic nightlife in the North Crete tourist resorts. Walking and sports related to the sea are the major activities in the area but many guests come solely to relax away from the stresses and strain of modern life. The high number of repeat visitors to Paralia over many years pay tribute to a successful formula.
