This is the perfect family run taverna and rooms. Like, storybook. Great family - parents knew very little English, but the guys (kids or cousins?) that mostly interacted with guests did. Everyone was so sweet and we communicated through their little English and my minimal slaughtered Greek. Amazing made to order food by mom (I think.) Spacious room. AMAZING view.
In a most scenic location, enjoying the background of the Lefka Ori and the Libyan Sea, Kallicrates Village is located at Fragokastello, 6.8 mi east of Sfakia, at the southern coast of Crete.

The location, restaurant, beach, service and staff were amazing! I highly recommend this accommodation if you are on the Southside of Crete!

The apartment is well-equipped and spacious, located just above one of Frangokastello's best beaches. The restaurant serves well-made local fare and the setting overlooking the water is just dynamite. The owner is extremely accommodating.

Wild and wonderful corner of South Crete, with not many turists. Frangokastello offers the possibility to know sea and mountains, beaches are beautiful and of different typologies (sandy, pebbles, cliff). Tavernas (fish and/or meat) are numerous and of very good quality, not at all expensive

I liked the hosting family very much, who did their best to make us comfortable after we complained about our first night there with no hotwater or view of Sea as advertised.We were moved upstairs to a better room. We enjoyed walking to the bakery for fresh bread and baked goods and a good supermarket was near. Also a good bay for swimming and lots of naturewalks in area but you need a car. Took ferry to Agia Roumeli whereas walked to a part of the Samaria gorge from the south

We are regular visitors to Frango.
We are regular visitors to Frango. It is a beautiful quiet location with a great selection o. While there are 4 or 5 tavernas near the Venetian castle tavernas ( Avoid Drousillites) the rest are spread out over 3/4 kilometres from Vatalos (Sfakia direction) on the west to Zorbas (highly recommended on the east (Plakias direction)
Three distinct beach areas
1. Orthi Amnos long golden beach reached directly by steps near the beautiful Paradisos/Fata Morgana complex.
2. The Venetian castle again golden sands and water that remains shallow for a couple of hundred metres so very suitable for young kids or nervous swimmers/paddlers.
3. Near Stavros Taverna and Stavris Apartments and and stone beach with free sunbeds under shady trees. ( buy a drink or meal at the tavernas.
Frango stretches over a flat plateau-like area (about 6Km X 3km oval shape locked between the Libyan sea and the impress Lefka Ori mountains close to the IMBROS GORGE. A car is very useful but not essential. Bicycles are wonderful alternative and some apartments provide these complimentary. For us the heart of the community is the Taverna Kali Cardia (Good Heart) run by Thanassos and his son Alexi. Always good company and with fabulous traditional home-cooked Cretan meals. We have been travelling here for over 25 years and regularly encounter friends on return visits in this homely taverna.

We loved southern Crete.
We loved southern Crete. Much less built up and touristy than the north. The beaches are nice and gently sloping - amazing turquoise water. We had a day when the wind was really blowing but otherwise it was beautifully calm and enjoyable. Great place to explore more of the southern coast from.

the accomodation we stayed in didn’t fullfill our expectations, but for just staying the night was it ok. Definitely recommend the beach. It is beautiful with just few people and amazing views, sand beach and sea. I also recommend the taverna above the beach, it was very tasty and for a perfect price. The best trip we made was the Imbros gorge, even though there were a lot of people but it was very nice.

It's 15th year of my family's holidays there.
It's 15th year of my family's holidays there. We really love the city and all surrounding places. It's impossible to get bored.
I really love Vatalos Taverna and their family's concept for traditional cretan cuisine, cleanliness and friendship. Corali is a new nice discovery for us, after a short visit 2 years ago to one of their music nights.
The location is perfect. The hotel is just a few metres from a gorgeous sandy beach. The room is good value for money. What I liked most about it was the private balcony in the garden, with a view of the castle, the mountains and the sea, ideal for those who want to take their breakfast privately and enjoy nature. The restaurant, the same as the hotel, low prices but delicious food and great view. The staff are friendly and helpful people. Don't forget to try the local cheese pies served with honey made by the kind hospitable owner.
We were greeted by a very friendly captain Tom that showed us around. Our room was spacious, clean, comfortable and we had everything we needed. The pool looked very inviting, but unfortunately we didn't have time to try it. We wished we could have stayed for longer Loved the cats and the cats loved us back for giving them our extra ham:)) Would definitely stay here again. Google maps doesn't give the correct location. There is a sign on the road, that we missed, but we were helped by a very nice young boy to find the hotel.
We have stayed at Fata Morgana 4 times before and love the place and the family that cares for it. We were impressed by the upgrades since our last visit. We love it so much that I hesitate to give a rave review because part of what we love is that the area is not crowded with tourists. Quiet beach (with a clothing optional section), lots of tavernas within walking distance, lots of wonderful walks and hikes all over SW Crete.
This place is a heaven for introverts - two small tavernas, couple of apart hotels in the areas and super nice wild beach. For me it was mostly the same filling as I remember from my vacations with parents in my childhood.
Food in tavernas is very nice. Quality of appartment was super high. Stairs to the beach - which was great as after a week of walking up and down I felt much healthy.
Awesome location, I'd say probably the best in Frangokastello. Very nice and friendly staffs. You can snorkel in the private beach of the hotel with their snorkeling equipments. They helped us in planning our Loutro trip as well. Nice food in the hotel, as well as very nice tavernas right outside. If you wish to relax, this is the place.
Very cute little hotel, with a really beautiful garden.
A beach very close by(50m).
People there were very nice !
Very good restaurants nearby.
Breakfest was great ! Homemade with a lot of variation, and fresh orange juice !
I need to emphatize the garden. The whole place is incredibly cute if you like plants !
The restaurant at the hotel was excellent and affordable. The ambiance was welcoming and warm. The staff- both in the hotel and restaurant were very helpful. I cannot eat gluten and they were accommodating to my dietary needs. The location was right on the water. The view from out room was great.
It's not my first review for this place and it's not my first time there either. I know the hotel before it got renovated and modernized and it never failed to amaze. Beautiful peaceful location, nice taverna next to it and great great beds. Thank you for an amazing stay.
Comfy bed compared to other hotels we had been to, amazing location right on the beach and no noise from the few neighbours. Calm waters and some snorkeling opportunities. We really liked the taverna kioni next door. Much better than the one a bit further down the road.
Very beautiful hotel with a lot of charm. The staff was very friendly. Spacious room with s beautiful sea view and yet very affordable. The breakfast was great as well. I would definitely recommend this hotel and will come again.
Great place to enjoy the beach with a very good taverna next to the hotel. We slept in the Tower house which is comfortable and original place. The staff is very helpful. Very closed to a beautiful sand beach.
Breakfast and dinner in the taverna was very good. The coast and the beach are very nice. The owner and the staff is very friendly. I think this is the best place in Crete.I will go back in the future.
This was a nice hotel in a good location, right next to Frangokastello. It was easy to walk to the beach under the castle for a swim. The room was nice ... not fancy, but we were happy with it.
very calm location with breathtaking view. good beach just in a few meters from the hotel. very clean and beautiful hotel, rooms with wonderful terrasses or balcons
we will come back!
