The locations is absolutely amazing. You have to be aware it’s a bit secluded but with google maps you’ll get there easily. The locally prepared breakfast was just delicious! Real recommendation!
Both ladies at the reception were very helpful and welcoming.

We very much liked the warm welcome and friendliness of the owner. Great care and thoughtfulness had been taken over all the welcoming little gifts and goodies. Lovely position overlooking the sea. Very near, walking distance, to a good beach and taverna.

Lovely apartment, spotlessly clean, quiet and good location. The young lady cleaning and looking after the apartments was very helpful. A bottle of wine and fruit juice in the fridge was a nice touch. There was a large parking area fairly close to the apartment.

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.
We stayed at the family room. Perfect for a family, plenty of amenities to make you feel like home(dishwasher, washing machine, electric iron, kitchen equipment, etc). Excellent view, very quiet and within 5 min distance by car to several beaches in makry gialos area. Maria the hostess was very welcoming and provide us with all the little details and secrets according to our personal interests! Great experience and very relaxing holidays!
Apartment was absolutely lovely and clean with an amazing large balcony facing the beach. Hosts supplied everything you could possibly need plus they threw in a large basket of fruit, olive oil and local pastries. The apartment is in walking distance to the main restaurants and even has a good taverna within 50meters. We have been traveling around Crete for 3 weeks and this was our nicest stay by far. We loved it!!
Exquisite location, with wonderful sea view and very very polite and friendly staff. Hotel provided 24-hour reception, where you can also get an appointment by made doctor visits and beauty treatments. So amazing that! Room was unique beautiful and spacious. Nice ambiance, great and delicious breakfast which was served at the hotel's restaurant buffet. All in all was a great experience.
Like a well kept secret, Village is rustic but special.
Very relaxed hotel which lends itself to a very relaxed holiday. Chrisoulla and Nicos are honestly the secret ingredients to this place and I have no idea how the business would cope without them!!
Room(s) were ideal for our family of 4 with neighbouring front doors and a shared exit. Lunches were lovely
First we really loved the location. The property is in the quiet side of Makry Gialos and the busy area is only 5-10 walk. There is a nice restaurant right next to the property and the sea in front of it is pebbly and crystal clear.
The roomitself was massive for two people and super clean.
Finally, the hosts were very friendly and accommodating.
Amazing family managing this place. They are really lovely. The view is wonderful, it's like a dream. The hotel is on a cliff, you are literally above the water. The place is quiet, beautiful and relaxing. We are really sad to leave. The ratio price / quality is phenomenal. Thank you so much and we hope to visit you again.
The location is excellent, 79 steps and you are on the beach. A lot of Crete apartments are quite rustic. This apartment is modern with all the facilities you would need to dine at home. Decorated in keeping the a sea side apartment. The outdoor shower was fantastic, ideal for a cool shower on return from the beach
I think it's the best hotel you can stay in the neighborhoud. The beach of the hotel is very private, very cosy. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Yannis is a fantastic host. If you want to spend some time on the beach without the usual crowd and have a calm, relaxing vacation, this place is for you.
I felt like royalty at Ionio Star. The cleanliness of the hotel was impeccable and the beach with its Blue Flag status was divine. The 24-hour reception was a great convenience, and the beach volley and small harbour facilities kept me entertained throughout my stay.
Very good price/quality. The main advantage over many hotels is that it has its own beach with fine sand and easy water entry.
The staff is great and the food also.
The internet is fast only when few people connected (in the morning).
Fantastic view of the beach right outside the hotel.
Like our own private beach with free sunbeds and all facilities provided.
Large room with very comfortable bed.
Hostess was fantastic and even did our laundry
We had an amazing time with my fiance, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. The location of the hotel is great with an amazing beach and the pool bar was very close so we definitely enjoyed it !
It was a lovely apartment, with a perfect view from the balcony. It was clean and near the centre. Also, the pool was clear and with not too many guests. I definitely recommend this hotel.
A great family hotel in a quaint town away from the mainstream within walking distance from some great restaurants.
The beach is meters away, with a pool fed from the Mediterranean.
This hotel surpassed all expectations with its charming atmosphere, attentive staff and excellent facilities. A delightful find for an unforgettable getaway.
