A real poetry to a dreamy greek summer vacation! 🫒💦☀️🍯🇬🇷🪸🍽️🍑🐈‍⬛🌳 It was our location for the first two nights in Crete and it was so spot on - no other place nor a 5*hotel could beat the vibes. We loved the solid traditional style, the comfort of the spacious studio, the breathtaking view both to a sunset and a sunrise straight from the bed!! We had it all there: the hiking trails on the cliffs just 10mins walking distance, the perfect cozy Mononaftis beach with a crystal waters (also 8-10mins walking) and the most perfect place to eat at Vasilis taverna. We felt very safe, even though we were alone in the villa for one night. Not sure how the experience would be while sharing a terrace with other people at the same time though. But as for this time, we were lucky to have all the privacy to ourselves.

Iliatoras is an amazing place! In reality it was even better than we expected. When we arrived and saw the spot I was just speechless :) House is situated on the top of the hill with an panoramic (and epic!) view. Anastasia - the owner - was so kind and upgraded our room (even though she didn't have to - thank you Anastasia! ;) The apartment is spacious, full of light, with high ceilings and huge windows. Kitchen is fully equipped, everything is well organized and functional, arranged with great taste and paying attention to detail (beautiful furniture, decorations etc). We had access to big and comfy terrace and garden. Iliatoras is 15 min walk from the beach and tavernas in Agia Pelagia so you are close to everything you need but still it's a quiet place - just perfect to chill and rest from everyday fuss.

Everything was just perfect :)

Nice view, room was very large, comfortable and beautiful with a lot of attention to detail.

Kitchen could be equipped better (cooking spoon, sieve and big pot were missing).

Fantastic view, absolutely stunning!

The view was breathtaking! And we fell in love with the white kitty outside on the property.

The layout of the apartment was a bit odd, but didn’t matter since we were only inside to shower and sleep. The kitchen area way extremely narrow which would make cooking a challenge. The mattress was not the most comfortable and the sheets were not very soft, but is was fine for the short stay.
