Kreta Natur

Peaceful and relaxing. Kreta Natur is a beautiful oasis of calm. Georgo and Maria have created a wonderful environment to rest and unwind in. The rooms have been thoughtfully designed to give privacy but to also to take advantage of the lovely surroundings. The rooms are cleaned daily and the staff are all very friendly. There is a small bar by the freshwater swimming pool.. cocktails can be quite potent! If you can tear yourself away from the pool you can find some good local restaurants, two Spar shops and a bar or two. Be prepared to walk some distance and always up hill at some point. The best meal we had though was lunch cooked by Bill at Kreta Natur. The beach is gorgeous, much of it has been taken up by the larger hotels and sunbeds for their guests however you can find some empty stretches. We stayed in May which was uncrowded and a great temperature for us. Swimming in the sea was idyllic. We loved it here and will definitely aim to come back next year and stay for longer.

Difficile de sortir de l hôtel tellement ont y est bien.l accueil, la cuisine le cadre,Maria Georgo et toute la famille sont formidables et le raki....le dîner avec la danse ,la tranquillité et la qualité des appartements bref j y retournerai.

We have just spent a lovely week relaxing at Kreta Natur and will love to go back! On arrival at 2.30am, Nick was there to greet us with a friendly smile and showed us to our Suite. We are a family of two adults and two children, 12 & 9. We were advised when booking that the suite may be a little tight for 4 but as it comes with its own private terrace with room to eat and sunbath we decided to risk it. There was a double bed and double sofa bed which the children shared, this was a bit small due to their ages, probably best for one or two if younger. The suite was lovely and clean with a small kitchen and a bathroom with shower. We woke the next day and headed straight to the pool and bar where we where met by the owners, George and Maria who welcomed us. Throughout the stay they were always around ready to offer anything we needed and recommend local places to visit. At the bar we met Billy who makes the most fantastic Greek coffees and Greek bread, which is home made and I was lucky enough to be given a free cooking lesson! Billy is also the chef and his food is cooked fresh daily and is so good, it was honestly some of the best food we have eaten. We had fresh meatballs with homemade chips, potatoes, rice and Greek salad, followed by the most amazing Greek yogurt with black cherries. The pool is lovely and clean, with sunbeds always available. Its close to the bar and Billy, Nick or Jenna were always ready to serve you. Nick makes the best cocktails, there is no menu so he makes them on request or surprises you with one of his specials. We spent most nights trying them. The room was cleaned daily by Rosa and the towels and bedding are changed every other day which was just right. The whole site is clean and the gardens/pool area have some lovely touches which make the place unique, some designed by George himself! The area is rural so its worth hiring a car, we visited Spinalonga, and then drove through Elounda to Kolokitha Beach which is definitely worth a visit but go early or late as the roads are very narrow and it can get busy and hard to drive along, when you park at the top, there is a walk down the hill to the beach. We then drove to Agios Nikolas for some food and a walk around, we found the best restaurant with the most amazing apple jam, Se-Meli. Thank you Kreta Natur for a lovely holiday, we hope to see you all again

We (5 of us across 2 rooms) spent 10 nights here and had the best time. The owners George and Maria, and staff Bill, Nick and Rosa are very nice people- they really made us feel welcome and comfortable like we were at home- anything we wanted or needed they would do their best to help us. Bill and Nick were especially kind to my three children who are 16, 13 and 11 they really looked out for them which put us at ease- they also joined in when we played games in the pool which was great. I really can’t thank them enough they made our holiday. The location is quiet and away from all the hustle and bustle of a busy city- there are some nice beaches and restaurants in walking distance- Sarandaris beach is lovely- Ya seafood is a great place to eat. However, be warned if you do walk anywhere there will be big hills to walk up on the way back. The apartments are clean, well kept and have everything you need for your stay. Rosa cleans the rooms every day bless her- she works so hard in the heat. The gardens and pool area are also very clean and well kept and there are many sunbeds- which were always available as the pool area never really got busy. Bill is a great cook- the first night he prepared us a meal of roast chicken, potatoes, rice and salad and it was delicious. Nick is a great host and he makes the best cold coffees and cocktails. I would recommend hiring a car- We hired a car for our trip so it was easy to get around and visit other areas of Crete- there’s so many beautiful places- Agia Pelagia beach, Kato Gouves, Agios Nicolaos Overall we had an amazing time at Kreta Natur, if you are looking for a quiet relaxing break away I would recommend coming here.

Just arrived home after 2 weeks! What a fabulous place to stay..so quiet and relaxing. George & Maria, the owners, couldn't do enough for you. Rosa, the cleaner, was lovely, Bill, the Chef and Nico, the Barman were very attentive. We were very sad to leave and will definitely be going back.Thank you all for your hospitality!

First time here and couldn’t wish for more. Peaceful, easy going and away from the bustle of Hersonissos which you can walk to or get a taxi for €10. George and Maria , the hosts, were spectacular and couldn’t for more. Rooms were clean albeit a little dated but spent most of time by the exceptionally clean pool and sea. Will be back !
