We absolutely love Stelios Beach House, so much so we are staying an additional 2 weeks! Six weeks total over November and December. Very bright and airy residence with a huge patio offering excellent sunset views over the ocean. Well-stocked kitchen. There is both Aircon and heating available though we hardly needed either. It's so convenient having the supermarket right downstairs too. While most places close by the end of October, enough taverna's and cafes are still open year round within walking distance from the Beach House. We highly recommend Bites and Pints a few steps away for the best pizza you'll find in all of Crete!! The locals are very kind and welcoming here too. Plakias has been our favorite place in Crete we've found. The beach, a few steps away, is fairly shallow and great for packrafting and swimming. Be very careful of the nearby mountain hikes to the East with steep drop offs. Stelios even spoiled us with weekly cleanings, give our thanks to Armoundi! We highly recommend Stelios Beach House as the best in Crete and hope to stay again one day :)
