The host, Mr. Vrettos, was extremely welcoming and informative. The accommodation was basic, but traditional and beautiful. It was exceptionally clean.
The location of the property is paradise on earth.
I highly recommend this property and will be delighted to stay there again very soon.

Istron itself is a small town with some conveniences like ATM, tavernas etc. We stayed there not because we wanted to be in this particular town but because of the access it gave is to the surrounding area. With a car we could easily reach many beautiful beaches, ancient villages in the mountains, Ag Nicholas for history, churches etc. and some genuine Greek restaurants, mainly in villages. It is a good central point for many things that interest us.

Istron is a lovely place to stay with fantastic beaches and very friendly people. It is not an overly lively resort but has enough for older teens (Palace Bar was great and had lovely cocktails too and Friends had live music on some nights). It is also a great location to explore more of the island

If you want to relax soak up good food people and sandy beaches then stay for months on end. Car is always great to move around and get further out to towns like leopetra. There are nice restaurants all around the town and beyond. Never felt like I was short of choices and this trip was during April which many places close until the season.

We were there for the last week of the season (late Oct) so the hotel was half full and quiet, not sure what it would be like in high season, but we had a great time!
Great location, good private beach, terraces, gardens and a great swimming pool alternative. Beautiful views. The food in the hotel was amazing - we had a breakfast and dinner deal which was perfect for us. Breakfast was a buffet with good choices every day. The evening meal was 4 courses - all delicious cretan food and different every night - we would consider staying here again just for the food! They also had a great selection of cretan wine - very well chosen - all delicious.
Our room was simple and functional - perhaps more 'basic' than we were expecting. The double bed was (of course) two singles pushed together which wasn't so good. The wifi in the room was non existent - this could not be addressed, so we had to use the wifi in the bar (3 floors up). They should get this right for all rooms or make it clear that there is no wifi.
Ending on a positive...we found all staff were all very welcoming, friendly and helpful, with 'good enough' to excellent English (our Greek is terrible..).
We had a lovely stay and would go back.
We had a great time in Istron. The location is perfect:
- 3min from Voulisma beach and other amazing small bay beaches.
- 12min by car from Agios Nikolaos.
- very nice & traditional villages around 15-30min ( Kritsa, Kroustas, etc).
- next to the rooms there is a mini market that the owner runs, which is extremely convenient for daily stuff you need.
The apartment is new, fully equiped & comfortable (washing maschine, iron available).
Very friendly & welcoming owner!!!
I would definitely recommend & revisit.
Balcony on upper floor with fantastic view an bay below. Terrace on lower flow, also nice view.
Spacious rooms with upper and lower floor. Apartment suited for 4 people, so with ony 2 it was definitely more than enough space.
Spacious shower, which were not a given in other accomodations on crete.
Nice sized pool with numerous lounge chairs. Nice fruit basket.
Only a 15-20min walk down to the Voulisma Beach and the small village with restaurants.
The hotel has both rooms in the main building and villas. There is private beach, in a bay, very nice and clean, with sun umbrellas and beach beds free of charge. And a beach bar. You can walk about 15-20 mins to the village for restaurants and supermarkets. A bus stop is just at the entrance of the hotel (regional buses, to and Heraklion). The reception staff is very nice and eager to help with whatever you need.
Good value for money, considering the surrounding
The kindness of the owner and her daughter who gave as present some olive oil, raki and a little souvenir from Crete. I got as well some wine, a fruit basket and a delicious piece of homemade pastitsio.
Spacious apartment for 1 or 2 people.
Close to the Voulisma beach, restaurants, supermarket and bus station.
Apartments are situated in very nice quiet place, every night we slept with the sounds of the sea. Rooms are with a nice view to the sea. Everything that we need hosts left for us in apartments. We felt like at home. Very important thing is that the most beautiful beaches on Crete are there, 5-10 minutes from apartments
Water views, great location, near all the restaurants and most importantly just a 5mij walk to Valusma Beach, best beach in Crete.
We had the most amazing time and Dafne is so lovely, helpful and always go above and beyond for all the guests, she’s amazing!!
The villa was spotlessly clean with a lovely salt water pool. The wonderful staff were beyond helpful and made us so welcome. All of the locals were very friendly, especially Dimitris the manager of the villas, he’s possibly the nicest man on Crete.
Was really nice and cozy place to stay, with unbelievable view to the mountains and sea. The owners of the villa greeted us like we are the part of them family. This is one from the “must stay” places in Crete . Highly recommending!
The apartament had everything we needed and was remarkably clean. It was also close to the most beautiful in the whole east Crete, sandy beach Voulisma. Mrs Maria was very nice and helpful. We had great holidays there.
This apartament is superb!
It is close to the beach as well as restaurants and also has numerous amentities! The owners are helpful and polite. Simply the best choice to stay in Istro!
The property had a beautiful view of Istron bay. Our studio apartment was very clean and had everything we needed during our stay. We enjoyed our terrace with the views every night.
The view from the hotel is spectacular to a nice bay. Also the resort's staff was helpful and nice. These were the only positive experiences during our stay at Istron Bay Hotel.
We loved our stay at Maria’s apartments. Maria and her family are very sweet and kind and made our stay in Istro so memorable. Walking distance to two beautiful, calm beaches.
Well, the view is very nice. It's a beautiful bay in Crete, only for this hotel. The sea water is calm, there are not many people around you and the sea experience is nice.
This is by far the best place to stay in Istron, friendly People, very clean and new villa.
I amost forgot, The views are breathtaking!
See you next year,
Oliver
