Best apartment hotel i ve ever been to. The skoulaki family are the kindest, most generous and sweetest hosts. The studios are nice and very well equipped. The pool and its equipement, the barbecue and the beach right in front with umbrellas and sunbeds made it the perfect place for nice chill summer holidays. It is also very central and makes it easier to reach crete s main attractions ( samaria gorge, balos, elafonissi, paleochora... ). The area seemed to me one of the most authentic of crete. I will certainly come back for my next trip to crete which i hope will be very soon.
We were greeted by the veronica and helpful family who owns (and built) these lovely apartments -- mother, father and son. The apartments are superbly designed, very clean, pretty and with a wonderful airy feel. There are several nice touches, such as a clothes drying rack on a small balcony and welcome gifts. We didn't avail ourselves of the pool, but it looked very inviting. The beach is just across the street from the apartments, and ours had a view of the water. Thalassa's location is close to the major east-west artery, about 15 minutes from Hania or Falasarna.
I have just visited Crete for the first time, and I stayed in Thalassa apartments, I absolutely recommend this place! Will have to go back, beautiful place to stay in front of the beach with swimming pool and private beach, and good location to go around by car near all the most beautiful and touristic places! Own by a lovely family, welcoming and always happy to help!
Having been to the area many times it was our first stay at Thalassa Apartments and we were not disappointed, everything was perfect from on site swimming pool, the sea at the bottom of the garden and tavernas nearby, our apartment was well equipped and spotlessly clean with lovely views and a much appreciated welcome pack. Stella, Vangelis and Yannis made us most welcome and were always helpful when we asked them anything, they arranged our taxi both ways. We will definitely be returning
We got a really warm welcome by the owners, with a lot of explanations about what we can do in the surroundings and several presents. Our appartment had everything needed and all was in very good condition. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom as well. We were on the second floor and had a nice view on the sea from the terrace. I also appreciated their efforts in terms of environment (the only place in Crete where we stayed with waste segregation, energy saving lighting). The surroundings are very quiet (especially in the second half of October) and if you go for a walk past Nopigia along the sea you only encounter sheep and goats. We also enjoyed the Topolia gorge not far away that our hosts told us about. There are several restaurants nearby, we really enjoyed the closest one at the camping - quite simple but delicious food.…
This was exactly what I was looking for to explore this part of Crete. The appartment on 2nd floor was very comfortable for my 11 nights stay; it had a super comfortable bed, great shower and a well equipped kitchen. Stella, Vangelis and their son Yannis were eager to make sure I was OK and had all I needed, which was absolutely the case. Travelling alone I also needed a reliable internet connexion mainly to organize my day trips around the area and was glad it was the case. I found the appartment extremely clean (including kitchen appliance! which is sometimes not quite OK when renting a flat) and it was fully cleaned every 2-3 days with change of bed sheets & bath towels. The area is also well maintained and clean (no garbages on the street in front of the apartments) which makes it really nice to have a morning or evening walk by the seeside. Beautiful views just from the large and fully furnished balcony or at the door step. Unfortunately the weather did not allow me to enjoy the beach or pool, but did not affect my holidays as there is much to explore in the area with a rental car (which as my case). In few words: calm, serenity, feeling welcome and cosy "at home" after busy days exploring Western Crete. Thanks to the family for their kindness and hospitality :) ps: Stella and Vangelis insisted that I visit the Botanical Garden (20-30 minutes drive from Drapanias) and it was really a fabulous experience!…
One of the nicest little apartments you could book. Quiet, about 10m from the beach. Has air con, is very clean, an outdoor area or balcony. The owners are really really nice, welcoming and informative. If you book here it would be wise to hire a car to get around. Highly recommended!!
We have stayed in the apartments 4 times, they are clean & tidy, well equipped with aircon. The owners are lovely, warm & welcoming & full of information on places to visit. The apartments have a shared pool & a private area of beach with beds & parasols. There are a few cafes & restaurants within walking distance & with a car you can access the whole area.
I love this place. Great rooms, super clean and a well-maintained property with the most delightful hosts, Stella and Vangellis, who can't do enough to help you. The location is right by the beach and the pool is there for the odd day when the sea is a little rough. The kitchens have everything you need and the beds are super comfortable. As the days go by, you can feel yourself relaxing and soaking up the fantastic view from your balcony. A real gem!
This accomodation is really good. Rooms are complete with all facilities. Al the structure is new and nice. Swimmingpool, umbrellas, private beach, barbecue, and meny other services are free offered for the guests. The owners (Stella and Evangelis) are kind and ready to help for any need you may have. Highly recommended!
