Elpis Studio Apartments

From the minute we arrived the family were attentive and always on hand. A great location only 10 minute sot one of the beaches and a 15 minute walk to the port. Popi, Stellios, Georgos and Mary were superb hosts and always willing offer advice on where to see and visit when asked. A real family business and all of our rooms were clean and with good sized balconies. We will be back!

I have just returned from a 1 week stay in Elpis with my 3 teenage daughters and I would highly recommend. Poppy, her sons, the bar staff and house keepers are the loveliest of people are really make you feel welcome. I like to travel to different places and have never went back to the same place twice however this is the first time and place I would be tempted to return to again! We shared a room for 4 and found there was plenty of space and the room was immaculately clean. Nice sized balcony overlooking the pool. The outside space is beautiful with lots of sweet smelling flowers! The pool is a good size and my teenagers had a great time playing on the water and lounging by the pool side. It wasn’t too busy and always a sun lounger (comfy!). The bar was great and served drinks, smoothies and light bites all at a reasonable price. There is a small super market right next door which is ideal for all the necessities. The nearest beach in about a 3 minute walk - it’s a lovely beach with some water sports which my teenagers loved! The water was clear and beach sandy. The port of Bali beach is about 10mins walk where you can take part in more water sports and boat trips which I highly recommend. There’s a range of tavernas, tourist shops (selling lovely traditional Cretan gifts) restaurants and cafes all at a reasonable price. The people of Crete are very friendly and helpful and the island itself is beautiful! Elpis may be a 2 star but it feels like it should be more. Location, staff, rooms, pool are all brilliant!
