Faistos

"We were the first booking for the season, so felt like we had a the whole place to ourselves. The property, and our villa, were incredible and the views out to the ocean were amazing. Loved our villa and was perfect size for our family. Appreciated the fresh fruit. Our host was there to greet us and communication throughout our entire stay was excellent. The property is beautiful, and it felt so relaxing to enjoy the sun in the Cretan hillside. Only wished we stayed longer!"

Traditional Cretan Houses

Heraklion

"The house was a lovely old Cretan house renovated to a high standard, and Popi was a wonderful, helpful, and knowledgeable host - really friendly and full of suggestions of where to go next. You will need to have a car to get around as it is not at all central, and do not expect a modern building - but it was full of character and the aircon worked very well, so in my eyes it was perfect! I would happily stay here again, and hope to do so some day in the coming years."

Recent Reviews in Petrokefálion

Galini Mare

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent views from the room. Comfortable bed. Coffee machine "

Areti Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay. Hotel was sparkling clean. Lovely pool and simple but very good breakfast with freshest vegetables and feta every day. Coffee machine worked well and the options for coffee were fantastic. Plenty of parking near hotel, and a nice village and great beach in walking distance were of course what we came for. I wish we stayed even longer. "

Eva Marina Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"We can’t comment on the breakfast as we decided not to stay for the following reasons: - air conditioning was not working properly (we asked for help but the lady was filling in and couldn’t help) - the bed’s mattress was far too hard (I have issues with my back so that was a non-starter, might not bother other people) - reception and the corridor to our room reeked of smoke - parking was advertised and when we were asked where we should park we were told we couldn’t on the drive next to the hotel but that all streets were free parking (no spaces that we could see that wouldn’t block other hotel entrances). Yes the price is low, however we managed to find a comfortable room nearby for only a few euros more. The only advantage we could see to this hotel was its central location but the walk from the other hotel was only five minutes more. We booked this hotel based on its excellent reviews but really don’t understand why they were so good. When we left there was no one on reception to explain why we decided to leave. There were named envelopes presumably for other guests so it looked like there wouldn’t be anyone coming back. We can’t recommend staying here. "

Villa Belladonna - A oasis of luxury and relaxation

10/10 Excellent

"Great villa in a village with good amenities. The pool is nice with a fabulous view, and there are numerous spaces to relax and eat around the villa at different times of the day. Check in/out was very easy and the host was very prompt with help to sort out any issues."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Petrokefálion?

The best area to stay in Petrokefálion is within the village itself, or in the immediate surrounding countryside for a more secluded experience.

Petrokefálion is a small, traditional Cretan village known for its olive groves and a relaxed pace of life. The village centre is quite compact, with a few tavernas and a local church, offering a genuine taste of rural Crete. It's a place where you can experience local life, away from the more tourist-heavy coastal resorts.

For couples looking for a tranquil escape, staying in a villa just outside the village offers privacy and stunning views of the Messara Valley and the Psiloritis mountains. These properties often come with private pools and are ideal for unwinding. You'll be close enough to drive into the village for meals but enjoy complete peace and quiet.

Families will find staying within Petrokefálion village convenient. The local tavernas are welcoming, and the village provides a calm setting for children.

When is the best time to go to Petrokefálion?

The best time to visit Petrokefálion is during the shoulder seasons of May, early June, or September, and October.

During these months, the weather is pleasantly warm and sunny, ideal for exploring the region without the intense heat of mid-summer. You'll find fewer crowds at popular archaeological sites like Phaistos Palace and the beaches along the south coast, making for a more relaxed experience. The sea is also warm enough for swimming.

Couples looking for a romantic getaway will appreciate the quieter atmosphere and the opportunity to enjoy meals at local tavernas without feeling rushed. The comfortable temperatures are also superb for scenic drives through the olive groves and vineyards of the Messara Valley.

Families travelling with younger children will find these months particularly appealing. The milder temperatures are much more comfortable for little ones, and the less crowded beaches provide more space for them to play freely.
