There’s got to be something in the water... this place is a little slice of heaven, or nirvana, or whatever you believe in. If you’re looking for peace, you’ll find it by lounging on the rooftops, hammocks, or tourist-free beaches. If you’re looking for friends, you’ll find it in the purposefully cultivated atmosphere of hospitality and openness. This place attracts the type of people who make hostels great experiences. A clean, beautiful space with secure lockers, and all the necessities.

WOW. I loved this place. When on Crete you need to stay here. Uli is fantastic, friendly and knows a lot about the area. The rooms are tidy and well maintained, lockers in the room, decent beds, you can even sleep outside if you wish. The bathrooms are detached but in good condition and clean. Great atmosphere. A very social hostel, you get to know everyone! Good group BBQs too! People keep coming back here and now I think I am going to be one of them! TOPS!

It was not just staying at a hostel it was like finding your long lost family. It is a perfect place for a solo traveler. I booked for 3 days and ended up staying almost 3 weeks and I would have stayed longer if I could. I will no question be returning as soon as possible.

Me and a friend stayed here for 5 days. Our stay was so amazing we almost didn`t want to leave.
If you`re travelling and need a wee break from all the hustle and bustle of cities, this is the place for you. The area is surrounded by beautiful hikes, river walks, monasteries, and beaches.
The hostel itself is clean, has a kitchen and cooking equipment, a fridge and cupboard to store food, and mini fridge if you fancy a juice, a beer, or a bottle of wine, all of which you can add to your bill.
There were two group BBQ`s while we were there, and everyone hung out playing board games, or card games during the days.
We had an absolutely lovely stay and if ever I return to Crete, I know where I`m going to stay.


Stayed October 2015, travelled with friends
