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.

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!!
The beach is a standard (for Greece) but nice with sand and pebles and the location of our room just in front of the beach was wonderful! with a large patio full of flowers and overlooking the beach.
The apartment was spacious and recently renovated with modern and nice furniture ... very good!
Evangelos was very supportive and available to provide all the information we needed.
Thanks Evangelos and Dolores.
the location for exploring the south-east coast of Crete, the place is totally new (that's why there's almost no review - a real plus. deapina,the hostess is amazing and really welcoming, she was available for anything we needed, no matter what time it is. the kitchen is well equipped for almost any meal and has high quality products.
This is a very good accommodation in the center of Makry Gialos. We were given instructions how to enter, it was easy. Inside everything is perfect, well-arranged, clean, every necessary thing is there. The sea, a supermarket, cafes and eateries are 100 m away or less. Heartily recommended both for short stays or for vacations.
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
Clean apartment, full furnished with modern and comfortable furniture, linens and beach towels was free and available at any time. We relaxed on the hotel's beach, which has been awarded a blue flag, and we enjoyed a cocktail. Beach volleyball and a small harbor are also available at the area near by the hotel.
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.
Very sweet hostess, very clean, good price, nice swimming pool.
We had a very bad experience with a dirty hotel (iono star hotel) and the people from helios turned our holiday from a bad experience into a very good experience !
I will come back for sure!! Thankyou so much!
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.
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.
Beautiful traditional hotel, in great location to access local beach and restaurants.
Rooms spotlessly clean.
Small but well equipped kitchen.
Friendly and accommodating owners.
Fab breakfast.
We booked 2 days wish it was more!
As a traveller, my stay at this hotel exceeded my expectations. The modern room I stayed in was a haven of comfort and style, boasting sleek furnishings and all the latest amenities. Definitely I'll be back for more days.
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 !
Great hotel, amazing rooms, welcoming staff and good priced. Overall, a fantastic experience with these added features that made my stay even more enjoyable.
