Really lovely located a bit outside the center so nice and quiet. Great to have the free transfer to the room. We had a lovely dinner at the gyros shop just outside and you can buy your ferry tickets at cafe Melissa near the port.
Offering a garden, Sunset is located in Áyios Yeóryios. Free private parking is available on site. Sunset features free WiFi throughout the property.

Dimitris, who runs the place, and Mrs Anthi (his mother) look after the rooms and guests excellently; Mrs Anthi never failed to ask, whenever I saw her, whether everything was OK (it was). The young lady who cleans the rooms does a great job - if anything, I had to beg her not to change the bedlinen every couple of days, which I found unnecessary.
The studios are located right on the edge of the tiny village of Ai Giorgis, so it's only 3' on foot to the nearest, slightly upmarket tavern Akathi (delicious food), the all-day café 'To Perasma' (also run by Dimitris) and to the multifunctional 'Melissa' - a 'kafeneio' and local hub that doubles as the island's post office, travel agency and one of just two (sparsely stocked) mini markets. The location is very convenient, if you choose to swim in Ai Giorgis (a tiny harbour beach, but the water looks clean); it's about 20' on foot from the main beach of Livadi.
In terms of practicalities:
- The mattress is very comfy and the fridge is quiet.
- All windows are double-glazed and fitted with insect screens.
- The kitchenette is perfectly adequate for preparing simple meals, as, indeed, I and most other (nice and friendly) guests I met did.
- The tap water comes from the local desalination plant and is absolutely fine to drink. You will be offered bottled water wherever you go, but I personally don't like unnecessary plastic waste.
- The terrace is shared. You will have a table and folding chairs outside your room, but if privacy is important, maybe this isn't the place for you.
- Most guests I met were discreet and quiet. Not the right place for loud conversations and music.
- Most rooms overlook the small orchard and the village, but at the far end of the terrace, you can enjoy views of the Aegean - and of the sunset.
The Cycladic-style Angelos Rooms is centrally located in Agios Georgios of Irakleia, just 100 metres from the sandy beach.

Such a great find for my first visit to Iraklia. Even though a short walk from the port, the hosts kindly picked me up from the ferry and dropped me back off. Which was much appreciated. Lovely room with fabulous views. Had everything I needed for a stay. The cafe downstairs was lovely for breakfast. Easy to walk to the beach and lovely restaurants on the door step. Even out if season. Highly recommended.

Elevated position with fine views. Good sized balcony with table and chairs. Room size was good and well presented on arrival. Situated in a quiet area, though nowhere is noisy on Iraklia!
Small, walkable, unassuming, breezy, mellow - and I...
Small, walkable, unassuming, breezy, mellow - and I sincerely hope it stays that way.
A lovely Aegean sky, starry nights, several trails (some more rewarding than others); simple architecture, delicious Greek dishes (many made with local produce, but at Athens prices); a sweet sandy beach with tamarisks, easily reached on foot (there are other beaches, but most are accessible only by boat); mostly respectful, friendly locals; low-key tourists - except for some (not all!) of the day-trippers and yachters, who are under the misconception that they own the beach and harbour, occasionally blasting their music from their boats.
- The two mini markets are hugely expensive and only one was open in late September. If you're sojourning in Athens or one of the larger islands, do your pocket a favour and stock up on groceries there.
- There are next to no recycling bins and, sadly, there is visible evidence of fly-tipping, though not as bad as in other places I've been to. It's in the locals' interest to prove that they care about the environment, as most of this lovely island's loyal lovers do.
- Last but not least: the local authorities ought to bar speedboats and anything with an engine and propeller from accessing - illegally, of course - Livadi beach: they bring zero income to the inhabitants and drive away the type of visitor who respects the island and its people and wildlife.
On one day, I counted six vessels anchored less than 30 yards from the strand; this is dangerous for swimmers, unsightly and disrespectful to those who want to just gaze at the sea. I challenged the 'captain' of the boat nearest to the beach and met, inevitably, with rudeness. By the way, I wasn't the only one who was angry at this invasion; other swimmers shared this view and felt strongly about it.

I knew that Iraklia was a quiet island ..
I knew that Iraklia was a quiet island ..I have travelled in Greece for 50 years .It was still an adventure travelling 8 hours on the Blue Star ferry .I could have made it easier with a stopover in Naxos .
The island was great for walking ,swimming ,sketching and meditation, The islanders were friendly and helpful …only 2 shops ,no petrol station ,one taxi ( no bus May/ early June ).
I ate most nights at Akathi restaurant which was near Angelos Rooms ( my wonderful accommodation), the food here was really well cooked and presented and Demitrios & Paris and their team of cooks were great hosts and determined to look after their customers.
There are about 9 signed hiking paths and you can buy a small hiking map from Melissa shop .
If you are on an island hopping trip you can link Iraklia with Skinoussa , Koufanisi, Amorgos ,Denoussa + Paros / Naxos …but personally I wouldn’t rush the visit —I felt that I felt healthier and calmer each extra day on Iraklia.
The staff was very friendly and generally keen to help. The owner picked us up from the port free of charge and was eager to give us advice and tips.
The exterior part - common spaces of the hotel were nicely decorated (the water with the pond though attracted many insects in close proximity to the breakfast area). The views to the see were truly fascinating!
The room was spacious and it seemed freshly renovated except for the bathroom.
The breakfast was tasty and the staff were extremely thoughtful of my dietary preferences (vegetarian).
Villa Panorama is a great choice in Irakleia, exceeded all our expectations and Maria was a wonderful host, made sure we had everything we needed for our stay and even more. The location is extraordinary, on top of the hill with ample view to the sea and the nearby beach of Livadi. The room was comfortable, spacious, clean and fully equipped. We travelled with our mid-sized dog who also had a great time as the property is very pet friendly and Maria gave her a lot of treats. Couldn't have asked for more, we will certainly stay there again!
Alexandra collected me from the port, she was wonderful and a perfect host. Although my room was at the rear of the building by the road, it was very quiet. The room was very modern and the facilities excellent. The location is great as it is between the port and the beach and the rooms to the front of the hotel have sea views in an elevated position. There is a wine bar onsite with a great patio area to sit in. The staff were so helpful and I want to thank them for such a fantastic stay. Iraklia is one of my favourite greek islands now.
Everything was awesome. As soon as we arrived on the island our host drove us to the guesthouse, pointing out points of interest along the way. The room was really clean and had a great big balcony with an amazing view of a beach that can be reached in 10 minutes by foot.
The breakfasts were really amazing. They were different each day and brought to the balcony. Everything was home made and really delicious, we were full for the whole day!
Outstanding views, quiet, great facilities, clean, friendly hosts.
Situated halfway between the village and the beach of Livadi - everything is within reach.
Watching the sunrise from the balcony is an experience in itself. 😊 Watching the sunset from the old windmill is 4 minutes away.
If you are looking for the best Lesser Cyclades island experience, you cannot go wrong with Villa Panorama in Iraklia.
Room was beautiful and modern with a Greek look. Owners were super friendly and even picked me up from the Port. On the day I was leaving, check out was at 11am while my ferry time was at 9pm. They placed my luggage in a secure room and drove it to the port for me at 8:30pm while I explored more of the island up until leaving so that I did not have to lug it around everywhere.
An Amazing location, comfortable and clean rooms, literally next to the most amazing beach of the island. The whole arrangement is unique, with direct access to the beach, cooking facilities and an extra place to read books and relax.
Martin, the owner, is the most friendly, giving tips, great laugh and doing everything he can to make our stay memorable.
I was picked up and dropped at the port to catch my ferry. My host gave me a choice between two apartments without extra charge. From my apartment in town I could see both the port and the mountains and hear the local women singing in a nearby taverna - absolutely wonderful! A lot of the tavernas and breakfast cafes were already open by the end of April.
Everything was amazing, the two hosts were kind and helpful. We fell in love with Iraklia and I think Speires is the best place to stay on the island. Comfortable, spacious and clean rooms, beautiful bathrooms, delicious breakfast with many different options, and a lovely bar where you can see the sunset while enjoying a drink. We will come back
We had a lovely warm welcome off the ferry and were driven to Angelo's rooms. Our room was beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean. We particularly loved the balcony which was charming with a fantastic view of everything worth seeing. The locals are all incredibly friendly and we really felt part of the Iraklian community.
Nikos picked me up from the port and made sure I had everything for a nice stay! I only booked 3 nights but ending up staying for almost a week. The breakfast is super nice and all fresh :) iraklia is a lovely island and all the people are super welcoming. I would recommend this and would definitely go back next time!!
Wonderful place. The owner was very friendly and collected us from the port, He prepared breakfast especially for us upon arrival. He also drove us to a path in the island and all free of charge. The rooms are comfortable and spacious. The sunrise is exceptional.
The host is one of the friendliest people you will meet and made us feel instantly at home. The relaxing atmosphere we found on the island was perfect and the views from the rooms are outstanding. We will definitely be back in the future.
Really lovely located a bit outside the center so nice and quiet. Great to have the free transfer to the room. We had a lovely dinner at the gyros shop just outside and you can buy your ferry tickets at cafe Melissa near the port.
Very nice and clean rooms, location is great, close to the main village where all the restaurants are and in the middle of the distance between the two main beaches of the island. Amazing hospitality as well, highly recommended.
Really nice place, new rooms that are very stylish and with great views of the sea and surrounding islands, just a few minutes from the port and a short walk to the best beach on the island.
Great breakfast that changes daily
5 shuttles per day on fixed hours to the port
Pick up from and drop off at the port
Comfortable mattress
Stunning views of the island
