Stella and Andoni have a place in our heart! We can’t imagine coming back to Crete and not staying here. Rooms were OCD level spotless and clean, its metres from the beach, in a quiet town only a short drive from the bigger town.

Wonderful stay
We absolutely loved the New Aurora Apartments. The rooms were super spacious, spotlessly clean and fully equipped with everything we could need. The parking was easy as well. We were close to numerous cafes, shops and restaurants so didn’t have to go far for food etc. It was also a short walk to a lovely secluded beach. It is a definitely somewhere we would come back to in a heartbeat.
Nydelig lite sted ved veien, men usjenert hage og terrasse. Havet rett over veien og ned en trapp. Herlig strand. Fantastisk vertskap, frokost etter smak og behag, mange valg. Vi kommer gjerne tilbake! Gode tabernaer i nærheten og bakeri med fristelser i nabohuset.

Die Apartments sind einfach, aber sehr sauber. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmt hier! Die Betreiber sind überaus freundlich. Gleich nebenan ist ein tolles Café/ Bäcker und 300 m weiter eine tolle Taverne mit einer super Location direkt am Meer, eine Treppe führt direkt an den Strand. Es hat uns sehr gefallen.

Sehr nette und hilfsbereite Gastgeber und zwei nette Hunde die einen täglich begrüssen.:-) Es ist an einer wenig befahrenen Strasse und auch wenn ein LKW vorbeifährt ist es von der Akustik leise. Die Bilder entsprechen der Realität.

Super clean, spacious, super friendly owners and great beaches nearby.
Lovely quiet beach just a few steps away from the studios and Achlia Beach with crystal clear water, umbrellas, sunbeds and taverna just 5' away (by car).
Also nice places to dine available (some also deliver to your room).
Overall a great stay. Would definitely like to come back.

Πολύ καλή σχέση τιμής-ποιότητας δωματίου
Πολύ καλά δωμάτια, δίπλα σε μια φοβερή, μη οργανωμένη, παραλία (Λειβάδι). Ο χώρος ήταν καθαρός, υπήρχε ησυχία και τα κρεβάτια ήταν άνετα. Υπήρχε μια μικρή έλλειψη χώρου, κυρίως στο ντους αλλά και στο υπνοδωμάτιο, όπου όμως είχαμε βάλει ένα παιδικό κρεβάτι επιπλέον. Όσον αφορά την περιοχή, υπήρχε σούπερ μάρκετ και ταβέρνες σε απόσταση 2-3 λεπτών με το αμάξι.
Το WiFi ήταν πολύ καλό, η κουζίνα εξοπλισμένη επαρκώς και οι οικοδεσπότες πολύ φιλικοί!
