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.
Just a short walk from the beach, Pasithea villas offer indepedent villas located in Frangokastelo Village. The property is 1.4 mi from Fortress of Frangokastelo.

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 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.
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 !
Fresh, bright and stylishly furnished flat. Beautiful terrace overlooking the sea and olive trees. A stone's throw to a perfect relaxing private beach and last but not least, an exceptional taverna with authentic cretean food and unfailing courtesy of the host. We also loved the panoramic journey from heraklion.
The hotel is right by the sea. Perfect view from each room. Very quiet and relaxing. You could find everything you needed. Lovely private beach but there are also beuatiful beaches close to the hotel if you don't wan't to use it. Alltogether it was a very pleasant stay. Would definitely do it again.
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.
Location for us was on the spot if you wanted to visited this western side of crete. Quiet and clean resort located in an olive tree garden. A lot of vegetation around. Close to the beach. Nice sea view. bungalow was quite big suitable easily for 4.
the location is literally located on the beach, in a small cove, making available to its guests sunbeds and a kayak. The Frangokastello sandy beach is 300 m away.
Room is ok, too small bathroom, but very clean
Amazing view every moment of the day
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.
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.
