I liked feeling like I was living without electricity and having a gas lamp and gas stove. It was a nice LARPing situation where it is almost halfway like camping. I also really loved the cats that come to "bother" you as you sit on your part of the terrace. I made a nice friend that day.

spotlessly clean, quiet and wonderful character fittings and finishes made this a lovely retreat tucked away in the olive groves near a magnificent gorge and great beaches...

The view out the front window in the living room was lovely. The place gets good morning sun. The couches were very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and the water pressure in the shower was fantastic. The host was responsive, gave us good information and made check in and check out simple.

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.
Gorgeous location with superb views and terrace area under tree overlooking the port and beach which is a mere 3 minute walk to the restaurents and prominade.. Second more discrete beach 3 minute walk on opposite side which hardly has anyone on. Second undercover terrace to front of house provides more discrete dining and drinks with the same views. Katerina stays alongside the cottage so is nearby and at hand to assist with anything. Will definitely be back. A true gem.
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.
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!!
The breakfast was very good. The rooms are as described - this is not a 5 star hotel, it is a special low-tech experience, which is exactly why we went there. It is an easy 15 minute walk to the beach if you use the path. The road to enter by car takes much longer. And the staff are very friendly and helpful. Definitely a very special place to stay.
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
The location is brilliant, right on the beach. The fact that there is a hotel bar (more of a restaurant) is very good. The staff were friendly and we were allowed to stay past our reserve slot as we have a baby and we were allowed to keep the room for extra hours which was tremendously helpful.
We loved the hotel. The food was outstanding, the staff smile and are helpful, the sea and beach are great, and our room is marvellous. When there was a problem, it was attended to immediately.
If you like walking, do the Pefki Gorge. You walk there directly from the hotel.
It is a lovely, large and clean apartment approximately 5-10mins walking distance from the beach and restaurants, with a great views of Makry Gialos from the balcony. The hosts were very friendly. We highly recommend this property and we will visit them again.
We visited the hotel for the first time and our choice turned out to be perfect. Perfect location, amazing view from our room, which was spacious and clean. Perfect staff always with a smile. The breakfast is complete. It is worth staying overnight here.
Hotel was conveniently positioned close to the beach and taverns. The Greek style breakfast was fine with plenty of food to choose from. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. It was excellent value for money and we would stay there again.
Great location to explore east of Crete and it’s beautiful beaches (or for a break in a quiet place).
Easy access with the car.
Nice house with all you need. Beautiful view - nice balconies for the sunset/ evening and Amazing host !
We enjoyed our stay at the Ionio Star Hotel, a family run hotel in the traditional Greek style, which was what we expected. The room we stayed in was clean and comfortable and stylish. 100% agree to to stay again.
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 !
The hotel staff was exceptional! Courteous, helpful, and always with a smile. Additionally, the spotlessly clean room offered an endless view that is enchanting. A unique lodging experience!
My first time in Greece....... has made me want to return. I will treasure our experience at the hotel. Room was wonderful, spacious and very clean. Good and fair prices for everything.
Well organised apartments with daily cleaning and attentive helpful staff. Well equipped with washing machine on site. Great views of Makry Gialos and the bay. Very comfortable bed.
