What's nearby

  • Above the beach at Matala, on the south coast of Crete, are a number of caves carved into the cliffside. During the Roman rule of Crete, the caves housed tombs. In the 1960s, the by-then empty caves hosted hippies who used them to camp out in. Matala still has a slight counter-culture feel to it.

Thank you Angelina & Manolis

Angelina is very welcoming and available for any need. She will do everything she can to make your holiday a great moment. We had a room on the uper floor (6th) offering great view to the sea and the city. But the downside is that we had to climb the stairs everytime we went out (as there is no elevator), but it's worth it if you're a little bit sporty. The swimming pool is good but a bit shallow (1.40m) and it can be limited if many guests (say 10) are in at the same time. Included breakfast is mostly traditional Greek beakfast: sliced cucumber & tomato, olive, ham & cheese, watermelon, orange juice (artificial), greek-style coffee & tea. Considering the price you pay for the room, it's definitely good value for money.

Im Frühstücksraum hat es gestunken, ich glaube nach Heizöl, Frühstück und sonst alles verdient nicht ansatzweise einen Stern. Note 6 durchgefallen. Ich mag und esse täglich Oliven, aber diese Oliven die es zum Frühstück dort gab war nur eklig. Kein Honig, viel zu wenig Kaffe, kein Olivenöl usw..... Finger weg von dem Hotel...

Bruyant la nuit, pas d'ascenseur...

Attention au transfert de Heraklion à Agia Galini= tarif de nuit= 115€. Il faut négocier le transfert de retour...je l'ai eu à 75€. À voir avec le patron de l'Hotel. Aussi, le coût des bagages...attention c'est 40€ au moins par valise.

Schönes Hotel - große Balkons - Meerblick

Geführt wird das "Sunlight" von einem sympathischen jungen Paar. Die Zimmer werden sechs mal die Woche gereinigt. Die Balkone sind groß und haben Meerblick. Es gibt auch einen Pool. Der Hafen von Agia Gallini und die "Tavernenmeile" sind in unmittelbarer Umgebung.

Da vi først kom til hotellet var det bare kaos. Hotellet hadde ikke mottatt reservasjonen vår fra hotels.com. Og endte med at vi måtte tilbringe den første natta på et annet hotel, siden vårt hotel var fullt. Ellers var hotellet helt greit. Fin utsikt fra balkongen, og fint basseng.
