Location was peaceful and rural and away from touristy Makrygialos. Perfect for walking or driving to quieter beaches. Interiors were simple, interesting (arty) and traditional. Really appreciated having the bedding changed and room cleaned every few days.
Featuring a pool with separate children’s section, Helios Studios & Apartments offers self-catering accommodation with Libyan Sea views.

Everything was perfect! Despina and Nikos are the kindest hosts, we really felt at home during our stay. Our studio was equipped with everything we needed, it was clean and comfy. Also the pool is a great perk and the studio is close to the town centre, to the beach and all the facilities. We will come back for sure!

Centrally located and very well appointed. The pool is also a bonus! The view from the room over Makrygialos is spectacular and the sunrise was beautiful! I would highly recommend Soula Apartments.
Villa Xenia is located in a garden just above the beaches of Diaskari and Lagada in Makrigialos. It features self-catered accommodation with a balcony overlooking the Libyan Sea.

We went out of season, reason being work from April until November. It was just what we were looking for quiet, peaceful. A few bars for drinks, cocktails and a few places to eat. Most others were closed, but really did not matter to us. Ideal base for visiting Vai beach and other places of interest.

Beautiful place to stay, relaxed but with a good choice of places to walk, eat and take in the sun. Try The Green Beach, it has a small restaurant down partly on the beach. A lovely quiet place to read a book in peace with crystal clear sea.

Makrygialos is absolutely lovely.
Makrygialos is absolutely lovely. The main beach is great and is perfect for children. We ate out every lunch and dinner time. Fantastic selection of restaurants. Found them very reasonable; you can eat cheaply or spend more if you wish. You can walk around Makrygialos very easily and everything you need is there. You won't find nightclubs or noisy bars! It is very much a family holiday environment. You need a car to get there or a taxi and definitely if you want to do some sightseeing.

Lovely peaceful place with a safe clean beach and plenty of places to eat. I don't think that there is a more friendly place in Crete and I am only sorry that it took us so long to find it. We are going to try and visit every year for as long as we are able to.

It's a beautiful village by the sea.
It's a beautiful village by the sea. The beach is shallow and safe, so great for swimmers and non swimmers alike. There doesn't seem to be a lot of hotels, (a selfish but good point) although there were plenty of tavernas catering for all tastes. There seemed to be enough people about to make the resort seem busy but not overcrowded.
I have been to Elafonisi and Balos beaches which are more beautiful but the facilities and clean beach means that I would rather stay at Makry Gialos. We swam every day that We were there.
Parking can be a bit of a problem as the car parks aren't large or well signposted and one is up a very steep hill.
We had great food at the Faros taverna and at the Cavern bar. A very special mention to Ian and Sharon at the Cavern bar for great (UK) food and the warmest of welcomes. We actually watched Queen Elizabeth the II funeral in the bar, as it was the nearest we could get to being there.
Most of the beach is covered with sunbeds although you only have to buy a drink to use them. I have been to resorts that charge up to 10 euros a day for two sunbeds and a parasol!
I am loving the thought of spending more time there next year.
The biggest problem for me were the fumes emitted by the Chrissi island boat drifting across the beach between 10.30 and 11.15 in the morning when it left its mooring.

Makry Gialos gave us the impression of a bit shabby place.
Makry Gialos gave us the impression of a bit shabby place.
If you leave the location of the appartment , you come onto the main road where ( if you turn right into the 'village' ) some little shops can be found. Best to stay near the location of big blue appartments.......
We had an evening dinner in a restaurant near our accomodation which was ok. There is also a fish restaurant on the end of the small boulevard.
Fantastically renovated sheep barns. Each one was different but with a nice setting. We wanted to have the see view ones, but got “Skinos” and it was great. Anyways the sea is far, so you don’t see much. Inside its really well done and comfortable. Outside its so pleasant to stay in the shade in the middle of nature.
From there you can do a beautiful hike into the Pefki Gorge. The village down on the seaside (Makry Gialos) has a pretty seaside and series of restaurants.
Very clean, high quality apartment equipped with everything you need for your holiday, very comfortable king sized bed, plus a single bed in a partitioned off area of the main bedroom fully equipped kitchen, everything as described and as per photos, very friendly host who is always on hand to help and advise. Great location. Highly recommended. Best accommodation we have had anywhere in Greece. Will definitely be back.
