Knossos Hotel is centrally located in the coastal village of Kalamaki. It features free Wi-Fi access throughout and rooms with air conditioning. The beach is 150 metres away.

All the rooms at Knossos Hotel are fitted with solid wood furnishings. Each opens out to balcony and includes a private bathroom.

Simplicity meets practicality. Small yet cosy rooms, recently refurbished, clean sheets, cold A/C and a more than decent continental breakfast. We were greeted with a contagious smile and that was more than enough to enjoy our time there!

This air-conditioned guest house comes with a fully equipped kitchenette, a seating area, a dining area and a satellite flat-screen TV. A private entrance leads guests into the guest house, where they can enjoy some wine or champagne and fruits. The guest house offers bed linen, towels and housekeeping service.

Dedicated parking inside the property, the studio reflects the pictures and is very cosy. Water and fruit in the fridge are a definitive plus. Coffee and tea facilities. A small kitchen is available, but we didn't use is as we were surrounded by great restaurants only few steps away. Mike and Olimpia are perfect hosts, giving you tips on what to see on a printed sheet. Perfect German organization! :) The place is quite, surrounded by plants, flowers and orange trees. Waking up with the smell of Frangipani and Jasmine from the balcony is priceless!

Located 150 metres from Pitsidia village, Jodi's Pension is just 1.5 km from the famous Matala Caves. It features air-conditioned rooms with free Wi-Fi and mountain or village views.

The Garden House , newly renovated features a private entrance with a back balcony with Mountain views.

Cannot say enough about Jodi’s commitments to her guests. Her attention to details re: any Qs her guests have, her suggestions re local areas, her wonderful personality, all made our first visit to Crete outstanding. . We selected Jodi’s pension based on others reviews, but only after staying here would we have changed our Crete travel plans and stayed exclusively at Jodi’s pension for our total southern Crete stay. Room was exceptionally clean, access to the breakfast room was a plus, and kudos to her fellow pensioners, many whom have been repeats for years. Staying with Jodi makes it very easy to understand why she has so many repeat clients. Hopefully we will have the opportunity to return to Crete. If so blessed, it will be at Jodi’s in Pitsidia.

Pension Romantika offers rooms with a furnished balcony and free Wi-Fi, 500 metres away from the sandy beach of Matala. Within 300 metres, you can reach the town’s centre, where you will find many bars and restaurants.

The hotel is very nice, located under a very characteristic mountain and has a large parking lot in front. It is 5 minutes walk from the sea, it is close to the center with supermarkets and taverns to eat nearby. The room is spotless, it looks new; the bed is very comfortable (we slept wonderfully), the bathroom is spacious and functional, there are even mosquito nets on the windows (which is not a given, unfortunately)! The host Maria is extremely kind and helpful: at 11 in the evening we had a problem with the fridge but she immediately intervened to solve it. If you want to go to Matala (and it's worth it!) this is the ideal place!

    The hotel is in a great location, right on the beach. The hosting couple is very kind and friendly. The bar serves delicious coffee, which you can sip on the beach. There was always hot water in the shower, and the air conditioning worked flawlessly. The beds were very comfortable. The room was cleaned regularly, fresh towels and bed linen were changed regularly. The kitchen had basic equipment, although we didn't cook there, we tried the local restaurants, which were fantastically good.

    Such an amazing typical Crete place, we had really perfect time there! The room was very clean with very comfortable bed and sofa, there is also a private and safe terrace and very good equipped kitchen. And the greatest was that you are really close to the beach with a lot of tavernas and shops but at the same time the place is quiet and relaxing. The host was very nice! Thanks a lot!!! We will visit this place very soon again!

    Very well situated property towards the back of the town. It was very quiet in the evenings and had the bonus of its own off street parking area. Our hosts were friendly and welcoming giving us various fruit and olive oil from their own garden. We really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to anyone visiting Kalamaki.
