Istron itself is a small town with some conveniences like ATM, tavernas etc. We stayed there not because we wanted to be in this particular town but because of the access it gave is to the surrounding area. With a car we could easily reach many beautiful beaches, ancient villages in the mountains, Ag Nicholas for history, churches etc. and some genuine Greek restaurants, mainly in villages. It is a good central point for many things that interest us.

Istron is a lovely place to stay with fantastic beaches and very friendly people. It is not an overly lively resort but has enough for older teens (Palace Bar was great and had lovely cocktails too and Friends had live music on some nights). It is also a great location to explore more of the island

If you want to relax soak up good food people and sandy beaches then stay for months on end. Car is always great to move around and get further out to towns like leopetra. There are nice restaurants all around the town and beyond. Never felt like I was short of choices and this trip was during April which many places close until the season.

We were there for the last week of the season (late Oct) so the hotel was half full and quiet, not sure what it would be like in high season, but we had a great time!
Great location, good private beach, terraces, gardens and a great swimming pool alternative. Beautiful views. The food in the hotel was amazing - we had a breakfast and dinner deal which was perfect for us. Breakfast was a buffet with good choices every day. The evening meal was 4 courses - all delicious cretan food and different every night - we would consider staying here again just for the food! They also had a great selection of cretan wine - very well chosen - all delicious.
Our room was simple and functional - perhaps more 'basic' than we were expecting. The double bed was (of course) two singles pushed together which wasn't so good. The wifi in the room was non existent - this could not be addressed, so we had to use the wifi in the bar (3 floors up). They should get this right for all rooms or make it clear that there is no wifi.
Ending on a positive...we found all staff were all very welcoming, friendly and helpful, with 'good enough' to excellent English (our Greek is terrible..).
We had a lovely stay and would go back.
We had a great time in Istron. The location is perfect:
- 3min from Voulisma beach and other amazing small bay beaches.
- 12min by car from Agios Nikolaos.
- very nice & traditional villages around 15-30min ( Kritsa, Kroustas, etc).
- next to the rooms there is a mini market that the owner runs, which is extremely convenient for daily stuff you need.
The apartment is new, fully equiped & comfortable (washing maschine, iron available).
Very friendly & welcoming owner!!!
I would definitely recommend & revisit.
Very nice villa with a great view to the bay. A bit uphill (about 350 m walk from the beach), but with everything we needed for the perfect vacation. Fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and coffee-machine is a nice addition to the greatest view on Crete. Daily cleaning service is very helpful as well. Beach sunbeds and umbrellas are free for the guests. Welcome gifts and upgrade makes us feel even happier. We are planning a new trip there for the next summer/autumn.
Late check in was available. Perfect location to stop for the night if your are exploring eastern Crete and you need a place to stay between elounda and sitia.
The only limitation of breakfast was the unavailability of any coffee other than the typical machine concentrated coffee that all hotels have. The staff was very helpful and smily.
Apartments are situated in very nice quiet place, every night we slept with the sounds of the sea. Rooms are with a nice view to the sea. Everything that we need hosts left for us in apartments. We felt like at home. Very important thing is that the most beautiful beaches on Crete are there, 5-10 minutes from apartments
Nice terrace. Convenient matraces in beds. Great beach (Istro Municipal Beach, it is quite narrow and not many people fit there, but the water and sand is fantastic).
Owner was very friendly person, that's why it hurts me to write the honest review, which will not be very good, more below.
Everything was perfect at the villa. Lucia welcomed us with fresh food and showed us around the house. The property is spacious with large bedrooms and bathrooms. The highlight is to just cross the street to access one of the nicest beaches on Crete with turquoise water.
Very nice and friendly hotel. The owner is very carefull with all the guests and tries to help with all they need. Big apartments. The guests find in the apartment fruit and wine on arrival. Nice pool open all day. About 15 minutes by car to a Lidl in Agios Nikolaos.
The villa is next to an amazing beach in a lovely village . nice view of the bay from the terrace. The rooms are wide and nice, the kitchen well equiped. Nice designed.great for families. The host is helpful through whatups
We had a lovely time here. The studio was located perfectly to explore this part of Crete. Daphne was super welcoming and helpful, gave us recommendations and tips for the island. Would definitely come again!
We had an exceptional time at Anemone Homes. It's just auch a beautiful Apartment! The bay just across the street is amazing and Vrettos&Aliki took really good care and were helpful with everything.
The property had a beautiful view of Istron bay. Our studio apartment was very clean and had everything we needed during our stay. We enjoyed our terrace with the views every night.
The view from the hotel is spectacular to a nice bay. Also the resort's staff was helpful and nice. These were the only positive experiences during our stay at Istron Bay Hotel.
We loved our stay at Maria’s apartments. Maria and her family are very sweet and kind and made our stay in Istro so memorable. Walking distance to two beautiful, calm beaches.
Well, the view is very nice. It's a beautiful bay in Crete, only for this hotel. The sea water is calm, there are not many people around you and the sea experience is nice.
A perfect comfortable villa and very friendly hosts. My best recommendations. Very good design and comfort. Highly recommended to family trips to Crete.
