Hotels near Watercity, Áno Fortétsa

Fabulous apartment, very clean and comfortable. The complimentary water, wine, and raki were an added bonus. Thankyou. The jacuzzi pool was a welcome relief to cool off in. If you turn left out of the apartment, a 10 minute walk takes you to some nice bars and restaurants. Our favourite restaurants were Pepper Grill and Ambrosia. Senso bar, attached to Pepper Grill, do amazing cocktails. If you walk about 30/40 minutes to the left (make sure you have a torch on your phone or get a taxi back as it's an unlit road) there is an abundance of tavernas, bars and shops. There isn't a sandy beach outside the apartment, it's very pebbly/rocky, but there are nice beaches if you walk in either direction. Eva was very helpful with recommendations and booking taxis for us.

The room was modern and clean, by the sea, with easy access to supermarkets, restaurants etc. The staff were very friendly.

SUPER friendly staff and very nice rooms

The location and room, with a private pool on the beach, is as close to paradise as you can expect. It's a truly stunning environment. The options for breakfast and dinner are exceptional, and the staff are polite, friendly and attentive.

Great vacation! The staff is great, our room was very big and clean, they cleaned it every day. The breakfast was very tasty. Many thanks to the administration for our great vacation.

I would always recommend to reconsider the price you pay and what you actually expect...as I hate people who leave bad feedback just because they thought they get 10 star luxury hotel for a 100$ bill. regarding Karteros hotel I personally think they underrated as there was nothing to complaint about. From amazing staff who were always happy to help and navigate ( and believe me when I say I have a LOT of questions regarding places to visit,nearest bus stop, price of the drinks in bars etc etc.) to clean and cozy rooms, yummy breakfast, security of the hotel ( they even have a cute dog who's wondering around the hotel everywhere and is very friendly ,,oh and Iam scared of dog by the way but this one didn't even notice me until I gave him piece of bacon 😁). My overall impression is 10 out of 10 as I've stayed in similar hotels all over Europe but this one became my favourite. Also,please keep in mind that noise from close airport cannot be considered as hotel faulty...if you want hotel that is close by to airport obviously there will be noise (but it's ok with earplugs).Price for taxi from airport is 20€ and it's literally 7-8 minutes. Beach is close by ( 200m from hotel) and it has approximately 4-5 bars where you can have a meal also. Local stores are in very close distance where you can get everything you need but if you looking for big supermarkets you need to get to Heraklion centre. I would really like to thank to all the stuff in Karteros hotel for taking care of every single guests as equally 💗
