Studios Stella & Stella's Traditional, hotel in Kato Zakros

Studios Stella & Stella's Traditional is offering accommodations in Kato Zakros. The traditional and retro style rooms offer private balcony, air-condition, fridge, kitchenette and garden view.

The property is one of the most beautiful I've ever stayed at. You walk out of your room and you're in a lush botanical garden, with sea views in the distance and the Gorge of the Dead behind you. The room is spacious and has a very nice bathroom. We greatly enjoyed the rooftop terraces and all of the different lounging options in the garden. We also hiked up the road that goes past the property to a beautiful overlook of the Gorge. You can smell all of the wild mountain herbs, which Stella's was kind enough to have in the room as well, for use. It's a beautiful and manageable walk down to the beach, passing the Gorge and lots of olive and fruit groves, as well as the ruins of a Minion palace.

Terra Minoika Boutique resort, hotel in Kato Zakros

Set on a hill full of aromatic plants in Kato Zakros Village, Terra Minoika Boutique resort is constructed of local stone and wood and is just 984 feet from the beach.

Beautiful location and views, comfortable and clean accommodations with loads of character. Extraordinarily well equipped kitchen. We had a ground level apartment and deluxe sea view suite. With the extreme winds while we were there, the ground level outdoor space was far more comfortable for dining so we were lucky to have that option.

    Kato Zagros has an excellent beach, in fact more than one.

    Kato Zagros has an excellent beach, in fact more than one. Plenty of parking. Choice of beachside restaurants. A great Minoan excavation and the Zagros (Deadman) Gorge walk starts in the town. There are many walks to explore. Serviced by daily tour buses.

    This is a place of peace and quiet. Great area for walking.

    This is a place of peace and quiet. Great area for walking. There is the archealogical site, the gorge of the Dead to visit. Lots of choice for eating, i would recommend Akrogiali Taverna. Our accommodation was up high above the beach, which was not so good for anyone with problems walking.

    Loved this little patch of heaven.

    Loved this little patch of heaven. We came in late September, it was really quiet with about 20 people spread on a relatively large beach. There are a few tavernas and hiking routes here so most people were hikers. If you want loud bars and busy this isn’t the place for you. If you want to unwind and be quite isolated then this place is it.

    Kato Zakros is perfectly located if you enjoy walking with not only the gorge but other walks possible. For a quiet break with sea, beach, restaurants and walking it is perfect and seems to be a very quiet and laid back place.

    Relaxing seaside fishing village famous for the ruins of the Minoan Palace. There is 4-5 tavernas right next to the beach. At the west side of the village there is a hiking path to take you to Pelekita Cave. There is also a path to link with 'Dead's Gorge.' A great location to explore Sitia Geopark.

    Kato Zakros seems like a village that has travelled to the distant past. Time goes much slower there. Nature is all around you. The people are kind and interested in you. It is not a "chic," "fancy" place at all, thank goodness. It is down-to-earth, real, and beautiful. The Minoan archaeological site right there is fantastic.

    A charming and spacious apt with sea view, clearly a thought was given to every little detail. The balcony was great for relaxing in full view of the sea and a thanks to the unfailing breeze it was very nice even on hot summer days. Very quiet, every apt has its own space and the whole place is well mai tained and beautiful. A great place for relaxation and the beach was not crowded at all. Being on the ver eastern end of Crete it takes time to get there, but to me it was well worth the trip

    Georgia is very friendly and helpful. The bed is comfortable and we slept very well. It's quiet and Georgia put a lot of details into the rooms. Around the surroundings there is a hammock to relax and to pet the cats. The apartment is almost on the top of the hill so you have a nice overview to Kato Zakros and the bay. Extra: Georgia put us some nice wine into the fridge, which we could enjoy on the terrace. The communication is very easy. We recommend Georgia's Apartments very much.

    Manolis and Thalia were excellent hosts. The location was very peaceful, waking up to the birds singing. Nice seaview. The hosts, provided us with homemade wine, raki, cake and other snacks. It was nice a community washing machine was available. They serviced the room everyday. Kato Zakros is a good central location for Vai Beach to the north and Xerocampos to the south. Also Kato Zakros has a very nice beach with several tavernas on the beach. Wonderful stay.

    We really liked Little Blue. It is a very purposefully and nicely furnished house in a beautiful location near the site of the Minoan palace, it is a place with a strong atmosphere, a pleasant beach, opportunities for trips. The owner is a very good and attentive host, we are grateful, among other things, for help with orientation in bus transport ... Thank you! The time in Little blue and in Kato Zakros was a time for us to rest and gain new strength ...

    Garden. Hands down. We were speachless when we walked the garden. Amazing work by the owners. So amazing garden architecture you might only find in Japan mountains. Also we loved the near beaches of Xerokampos area and the tasty food of the tavernas at Kato Zakros, And the shop at Zakros village is well supplied with local products. The bed in the studio fitted my body and we had a comfortable sleep.

    This place is the best place I stayed on Crete! It is beautiful, quiet and clean. Katerina and Maria take such good care of the guests and the gardens are incredible. Bed was extra comfy. Everyday I was provided water, fresh baked cake, honey, olives, bread and more. Zakros is a special place and I look forward to my next visit.

    Wonderful location, Yiannis Retreat is beautiful! The room is very charming and cozy, and there is everything provided to have a great stay. Katerina is adorable, a great host who has a real sense of welcoming and service. I highly recommend Yiannis Retreat to anyone who would like to explore the beauty of this area in Crete.

    Kato Zakros is a quiet little village right by the seaside. The room is literally few steps away from the beach and tavernas (but worry not, they close around 9-10, so we slept in peace, listening to the sound of waves). Perfect, cozy, budget room to explore rocky mountains of Eastern Crete. Owner is really friendly too :)

    This is the 3rd time we visited Kato Zakros and although we were always very happy with our previous stays, Yiannis retreat was exeptional! Surrounded in a beautiful garden and being spoilt with fresh fruit, cake and biscuits(every day!!) we can't think of a better place to stay. Maria and Katerina are fantastic!

    Marianna, the host, welcomed us with wine and homemade cookies. She was very kind and caring. The apartment itself is quite spacious for 2 people and very well equipped. The absolute highlight is the view on the sea and the mountains. It is such a quiet and unique spot on Crete.

    A lovely and quiet and very comfortable place to stay on the far east side of Crete. The area is very natural and beautiful. The gardens are luxurious and well tended. It's very close to the Gorge of the Dead trail head (end point) and about 15 minutes walk to the beach.

    This is the best hotel I have ever stayed at. The Ritz cannot compete with the level of service and attention to detail that the owner takes to make her guests feel at home. Absolute paradise! 11/10 experience.
