Idili | Apartment in Panormos, Crete

“We had a wonderful stay at Idili and would definitely love to come back! The apartments and the whole property are incredibly authentic and full of character. Both the interior and exterior are beautiful, with so many traditional details that the place almost feels like a small museum. Our apartment also had a large terrace with a sea view, and it was especially nice to sit there and relax in the evenings. The location is perfect. The sea is just a few minutes away, and even the walk to the beach is beautiful, through charming traditional streets with many tavernas. Everything you may need is nearby: mini markets, souvenir shops and plenty of tavernas for every taste. There are two beautiful bays very close to the apartments, with clean beaches and wonderful turquoise water. Breakfast was another highlight of our stay. Everything was delicious and very varied, with many different dishes and a little bit of everything. It is served in a beautiful, cozy courtyard, and we never wanted to hurry, it was such a lovely place to sit, enjoy breakfast and spend the morning. Markos is an incredibly welcoming and attentive host. He was always happy to help us with anything we needed, from transfers to advice about excursions, and paid attention to every little detail. Breakfast often came with a nice conversation, and the whole atmosphere felt very warm and personal. We really felt more like guests visiting friends than tourists staying at a hotel. The apartment was also cleaned regularly, and the towels and bed linen were changed very often, which we really appreciated. We had an unforgettable time in Panormos and at Idili and can absolutely recommend this place. We would be very happy to stay here again!”

“We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful and truly special place in Crete. The accommodation is very cozy, comfortable, and has everything you need for a relaxing stay. It is located in a charming small town, with a beautiful beach nearby. What made our stay especially memorable was the incredible kindness and hospitality of the host. He was always warm, welcoming, and friendly, and prepared delicious breakfasts for us every morning. We will remember this place not only for its beauty and comfort, but above all for the genuine warmth and kindness of the host. A truly special experience that we would happily recommend!”

“We had a wonderful stay and felt at home from the moment we arrived. A special thank you to Marco for his warm welcome,”

“Superb host and apartment!”

“Heaven on Earth”

“That was the best holiday in Greece! The apartment was fantastic, but the host made everything perfect. I've never experienced such a friendly, kind, and accommodating host. He spoiled us and even catered to my vegan diet. I hope we can come back soon!”

“Charming and comfortable stay in friendly picturesque seaside village, a great base from which to explore Crete by car.”

“Absolutely recommended!”

“This accommodation is absolutely unique. We travel a lot, but we have never experienced such wonderful and caring hosts. Marcos is absolutely great, striving to ensure guest satisfaction. Every day, he made sure that everything was okay. A bottle of wine awaited us upon arrival, and Marcos provided us with local delicacies throughout our stay. The apartment is beautiful, tastefully furnished, very clean, with a lovely terrace. The bedroom upstairs can get a little warm (well, during our stay it was 36°C during the day and 25°C at night 😊!), but the well-placed air conditioning cools it down nicely. The breakfasts, served in the charming garden, are absolutely amazing. Every day there is fresh bread, coffee, juice, cheese, salami, jams, honey, various egg dishes, pastry, fruit... The house is located in a very peaceful and quiet part of Panormos, a four-minute walk from the nearest beach; shops and restaurants are also within easy reach, literally two minutes away. Panormos is a peaceful place, that does not suffer from overtourism. We really loved the stay at Marcos' charming place, and if we return to Crete, we will definitely stay here again!”

“I highly recommend this location!”
