This is a beautiful mountainside hotel in a fairly remote village. The manager was extremely friendly, greeting us enthusiastically with welcome cookies as we parked, although she speaks more English than she can easily comprehend. The Marina is not especially cheap at 70€ per night (two people, mid-April, no breakfast) but the very large and well appointed room with a balcony and a phenomenal panoramic view of valleys and mountains merits the price. One of the nicest rooms ever! The kitchenette includes a good refrigerator/freezer and 2-burner stove top but is not equipped for cooking, offering only one pot and no cooking utensils. I had to ask for a frying pan. A few other omissions of common amenities made me wonder if the management is new and inexperienced. No dish soap and sponge were present, making it very hard to clean up after cooking. I asked for those items shortly before we checked out and the manager cheerily insisted that was her job and we had no need to wash dishes. That's absolutely the first time I've ever been told it's okay to leave the kitchen dirty after cooking.. The mattresses on the two single beds were generally okay but one was noticeably lumpy. Anogeia is a very interesting and picturesque town with a rich past, some of it tragic. There are many historical signs interpreting past events. It's also a center for hand woven textiles, with older women working looms right in the shops. The shopping district is a friendly, pleasant environment. It seemed quite prosperous but one proprietor said the economy struggles because tourists come to Crete for the sea, not the mountains. It's a worthwhile town in which to tarry and explore.
Set in an area of 28 acres, this resort combines the fine facilities of a luxurious hotel with the authenticity of Cretan tradition and the wild beauty of the island.

The hotel is very close to Anogeia village and has a wonderful view towards the mountain Psiloreitis. There is a small lake with fish and ducks and a small farm with peacocks and baby goats that our kid really enjoyed watching.
The indoor pool was clean and relaxing. The room was quite spacious, and there was free parking right outside our door. The traditional cafe is a nice addition.

Aristea was warm, welcoming, and wonderful. The property is a little garden of eden, in a beautiful mountain setting. The rooms are traditional, charming, cozy, & clean. Very nice. Thank you so much for the φιλοξενία!

This place is beautiful, magical and feels like staying at Grandma's house! The room, with high wooden ceilings, is decorated intricately with beautiful weavings and embroidery wall hanging and pillows that were made by the owner, Poppi, as well as many fun antiques. Poppi's shop is downstairs where she sells some of her art. She is very warm and friendly, and if you speak English and not much Greek, her son speaks fluid English and is very helpful and easy to message. The location is so convenient, close to the town square and the bus, but also enough removed from the town square so that if you don't want to join in with all of the evening Cretan festivities you can get some quiet and good rest. Very clean, comfy bed, and the fan keeps it cool. Also, nice lighting options. Beautiful grape vine covered balcony and sunsets! It was hard to leave!

We chose this resort because it had a wonderful sandy beach area for swimming and an included water park for the kids. Because the water park is private to the resort, the lines were very short even during our peak season visit, so each day my kids had their fill within 1.5 hours, which allowed us to enjoy the beach and pools. Since the location is very remote, the all-inclusive package/meals made everything so easy. We found the food to have lots of variety and great quality. Our room was at the very back of the resort, next to the water park, but we still had sweeping sea views, and everything on the property was kept beautifully clean at times.
The hotel Nostos Beach is located just steps from the beautiful Bali Beach. It offers a swimming pool with bar, and rooms with large balconies overlooking the sea.

Crete is a big island you definitely need a car and everything is far. Nostos is the town of Bali, which is 45 mins from Heraklion and 1.5 hours from Chania. Great location, beautiful beach view and very reasonable priced. You just have to cross the street for the beach. Lovely buffet breakfast, and you get to enjoy it at the outdoor seating with the beautiful view of the beach.
