First of all, communication with the owner was smooth. The owner was a very friendly gentleman, who gave us great pointers on local activities and dinner options. The room was very clean and well-equipped, with the comfy beds being noteworthy. There is free private parking behind each apartment, making moving your luggage hassle-free. Finally, the view is A-MA-ZING. From our apartment terrace, we had a gorgeous view on both the Gorge of the Dead, the Minoan Palace, and Kato Zakros Beach all in one! Simply stunning.

The only minor thing was the WiFi that was either non functional or had too weak of a signal. We couldn't detect the network from our room (room 8).

Kato Zakros is a unique place and staying in the KZ Palace Apartments made it a wonderful experience. George has put so much love into the apartments the garden and the views are superb. The apartments are comfortable and equipped enough for breakfast but bring your own supplies as there are no supermarkets in KZ. There are several tavernas along the beach and the swimming is safe, although the beach is stony so bring some swimming shoes. This was my second time staying here and hopefully I will return.

It was all great.

We were warmly welcomed again by George the owner who showed us around the incredibly clean and well-equipped studio. He also gave us some delicious homemade cake before leaving us to settle in. The accommodation has stunning views of the bay and Gorge of the Dead. Our studio had a lovely large terrace which was really peaceful and we spent many hours just enjoying the view. During our 7 days there we visited Xerokampos beach and sampled the local restaurants at Kato Zakros, before moving onto Kouremenos for the rest of our holiday. We are planning another trip next year and I’m sure that we will go back to the Kato Zakros Palace Apartments for the fifth time as we had such a good time there.

KZ bay is a secluded and stunning corner of paradise, and KTP offers affordable and fully functional facilities to enjoy it at its best. Uphill and about 10 minutes walking to the beach and tavernas, KZP is set in secured green surroundings and offers unforgettable views of the bay, the minoan palace and the gorge. The air-conditioned and spotless clean studio was comfortable, complete of cooking appliances and had a large private terrace. Relaxation and tranquillity are guaranteed, along with friendliness and kindness from the hosts. Thank you Georgios and Charoula for your hospitality. Already dreaming of coming back!

Leaving ...

Second time visiting Kato Zakros; what a wonderful place. George was a fantastic host as before and everything was perfect. Great walking in the area and wonderful beaches all around the coast, both on the doorstep and within a short drive. Great views from the apartment and super tavernas/hospitality in the village. Thank you again.

Nothing, all was great.

We were warmly welcomed again by George the owner who showed us around the incredibly clean and well equipped studio. He also gave us some delicious homemade cake before leaving us to settle in. The accommodation has stunning views of the bay and Gorge of the Dead. Our studio had a lovely large terrace which was really peaceful and we spent many hours just enjoying the view. During our 4 days there we visited Xerokampos beach and sampled the local restaurants at Kato Zakros, before moving onto Kouremenos for the rest of our holiday. On our last day George very kindly let us have a late check out which was much appreciated. We are planning another trip next year and I’m sure that we will go back to the Kato Zakros Palace Apartments for the fourth time as we had such a good time there.

Nothing

Quite the modern palace looking down at the ancient Minoan one. The view from the large terrace is spectacular. Very nicely furnished studio apartment. And home-baked cake as an extra treat. Very pretty and well-maintained gardens.

The WiFi only worked on the terrace for me, and it was a stormy and chilly day. The wind truly howling - I bet otherwise normally it's a very quiet place.

Beautiful apartment, comfortable and very calm. The location is excellent if you want a quiet holiday. The beach & sea are walking distance and the apartment has an amazing position and view. Very close also to a beautiful and famous archaeological site. The old village of Zarkos is also nice but it’s a hew kms away. No doubt you need a car to move around in the area but it is worth it

Apart from a series of 4/5 taverns on the beach front there is no shopping or other basic facility walking distance.

The best place to stay in Kato Zakros, with a wonderful view, extremely warm welcome and care, and lovely apartments. Great choice of restaurants within few mins walk. Perfect starting point for walking trips. Cannot wait to come back.

This is a well presented room with everything I needed with a perfect terrace from which to admire the view. George is friendly and helpful. The location is excellent, and each room is positioned to capture the view while still maintaining a feeling of privacy. An easy walk down to the tavernas at the beach for dinner, only a few minutes away. I think these apartments have the best panoramic views in Kato Zakros. I stayed for three nights, next time I'll stay longer.
