Friendly, clean small hotel with a filling of family atmosphere and great service!
The fact that it is so close to Heraklion and has a great beach and dining on the beach makes it that much better for a great vacation. Highly recommend this hotel!!

Amazing stay
Hotel location as describe by Hotel.com was in front of the beach, have their own bar and restaurant. Food was good. Plenty of other restaurants and bars around, but almost everyday we eat and drinks at Aptera hotel. Visilius, Christop, and their staff members were very helpful, polite and friendly.

Highly recommended and good value
We are a couple with one 14-year-old daughter and we stayed for two nights. The room was spacious and the layout provided our daughter with a little privacy. The manager/owner and the staff were very polite and accommodating. The location is ideal for Heraklion airport, Heraklion centre, beach and local restaurants.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Close proximity to beach. Generous room size and comfortable bed but my en suite facility was small and in need of some repairs and updating. Having said that I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would be very happy to return in the future. Very good value.

Good location, on the beach, quiet, clean, friendly staff. They do everything to make you feel comfortable. Good breakfast. Aptera restaurant offers good quality food right on the beach.
No wonder many people are coming back to Aptera year after year.

They asked us to pay 2.5 for each beach towel, and the beach in front of the hotel didn't have any free beach chairs so we couldn't even sit there. You could not get wifi signal in the room unless you were on the balcony. The room is very bare, but it was decent.

The property overlooks the Mediterranean Sea and the view is breathtaking, the staff could not have been more helpful and they treat you like family. This is my second time staying at Aptera and I will return because the service is excellent, the food is superb and the location is very convenient for going down town Heraklion and surrounding areas. There is always plenty of parking as well.

Nice large room
Nice room, good air conditioner. Nearby parking. Great beach and free lounge chairs for guests. Hot water for showers was hit and miss, mostly miss for me but wife and daughter claimed to have got some. Limited menu selection but other nearby hotels have you covered.
