We stayed for one night. Our host Haroula was amazing! Our room was simple, nothing extravagant, but we did not seek the modern and slick. The garden has many many blooming cacti, and you know how rare those are, the room was spotless, wifi was better than hotels we stayed at in Crete, and we lacked for nothing. But honestly, pick this place so you can meet its host! She welcomed us w coffee, her advice could not have been better and she is honest to goodness delightful !

The property was lovely; our room had A/C and a mini-fridge with a freezer, and the balcony had a drying rack with clothespins. The bathroom had a shower, toilet, sink, and hairdryer, too! Haroula is the best: friendly, always happy, extremely helpful, and knowledgeable. She's our new good friend, and so are the people in all the stores, bars, and restaurants. We will be staying with her again. Kalamaki is heaven on earth! It was the BEST vacation we've ever had; it was beautiful, charming, and fun. I highly, highly recommend Galaxias Studios and give it a 5-star rating! ***** !

This was my favourite stay in Greece. The host was so warm and welcoming everytime. She made me feel like i was at home. The beach is more quiet than Matala and a 10 minute bus ride from Matala if you want to visit the town. Beautiful long beach and restaurants and very peaceful with not many tourists. I liked that the room has fridge, cooking top and kettle with full kitchen utensils. The bathroom is small but hot water is good. I will for sure recommend Haroula's place for your next stay!
Die Gastgeberin vermittelt einem das Gefühl, ein persönlicher Gast zu sein. So war das in Griechenland vor 40 Jahren weit verbreitet.

Nous aurions souhaité que nos serviettes de toilette soient changées car elles étaient sales alors nous avions fait un tas de linge sale. Or à notre retour le tas de linge sale était posé sur la chaise!!! Les serviettes pas changées et le ménage qui devait être fait tous les jours n’a pas été réalisé… dommage!!!
Sinon l’appartement était grand et bien placé pas loin de Matala.
Emplacement parfait. Près de la plage à pied. Personne sur place très accueillante et disponible.
