To Exari, hotel in Omalós

Offering a restaurant, the stone-built To Exari is located in Omalos Village. It features heated accommodation with views over the White Mountains.

So hospitable. The room is tired but you are in the fresh mountain air, with amazing produce, food and authentic people. You will sleep fine and really recommend to take dinner there. I only wish we did not choose to have breakfast there. If you are coming to hike the gorge, have breakfast at the cafe at the entrance point to the gorge. The cheese they have is excellent though!

Our room had the essential and was overall fine. The location is perfect to reach the Samaria gorge and you can also hike in the area surrounding the hotel.

Agia Roumeli Hotel, hotel in Omalós

Right outside the exit of Samaria Gorge, Agia Roumeli Hotel is steps from the beach.

We visited in mid October and the hotel was quiet, very comfortable and the staff were attentive and helpful. We paid extra for a room overlooking the sea and it came with a small balcony which was well worthwhile. Breakfast was amazing. It was served in a lovely beach side restaurant and included yogurt & fruit, a cooked breakfast, pastries, fresh orange juice and coffee. This hotel was a highlight of our holiday. Thank you!

    Most importantly the staff were very friendly and helpful.

    Most importantly the staff were very friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to help with planning our walk on the Samaria gorge hike and made us feel welcome. We stayed just 2 nights - before the walk and after - which I highly recommend doing. The rooms were so dark and quite and had very comfortable beds so we rested very well. Also, we had to change our dates of the booking, which they did for us without any cost or complication - which was a big plus. Definitely recommend it as a great place to stay in that area.

    Isolated and beautiful, but long (one hour) journey through fabulous scenery to get to major road interchanges. Best to explore this gorge area only and come again to see rest of island. Coastal harbours/tiny resorts at end of hairpin roads enchanting and food excellent. Walking the famous 2 gorges is for strong souls but motorists can see some grand scenery. Strolling across Omalos plain is quite magical if you like wild places and are fond of goats. Property has no internet or DVD. Bring books!

    It was a surprise to see such place in Crete where you are surrounded by high mountains. It is a good thing that this small village can be reached easily by bus from Chania. There are more possibilites for having dinner and accomodation as well.

    We hiked at the Samaria Gorge and an evening before we also visited “Omalos viewpoint mountain” : 2 km before Omalos if You arrive from Chania there is a concrete path (1.5km) to the top:. Actually the mountain hosts radio /TV / mobile poles. 188 m elevation was a good preparation for the Samaria hike on next day for kids. The hike to Gigilos mountain is another option but is longer and more difficult.

    The hotel is well organised and they give you an easy way to see the gorge and do the long walk. Not having air con is difficult as there are too many bugs to keep windows open at night. Lovely staff and decent food.
