Place spotless, great cakes and wine!
Wanda is a great host and looks after the apartments well. We liked being a few km from the coast , great views, quiet and a cooling breeze. If you get a taxi to the top of the Agia Irini gorge you can walk back direct to Spiti Mas. Not too far away (about 30 metres) is a lovely restaurant serving proper Cretan food with a smile.
Located within 300 metres from Sougia Beach, Galini offers accommodation with furnished balconies overlooking the Lefka Ori mountain range. Rooms are equipped with fridge and a TV.

Lovely studio apartment with basic one ring cooking facility and kettle. Fabulous balcony and although at the edge of Sougia, only a 5 min walk to the beach, shops and restaurants. Excellent host.
Offering a traditional restaurant and a sun terrace, the family-run Porofarago is located in Sougia, just 30 metres from the entrance to Agia Eirini Gorge. Free WiFi access is available in all areas.

A very scenic drive from Chania, especially via the Omalas route, (slightly longer but worth it). The town is tiny. 200 or so residents, but still manages some excellent restaurants. There is good walking, particularly the popular trail - one and half hours - westwards to the archaeological site at Lissos. Alternatively, one can arrange a boat to Lissos, for a few euros, either one way or return. At 0830 a longer boat ride can be arranged eastwards along the scenic south coast. Evening beach walks at Sougia are also nice. For a more strenuous trek one might wish to visit the Agia Irini Gorge. The entrance is signposted directly next to the road 4.5km north of Sougia, with parking. It is far less crowned than neighbouring Samaria. Some 7km long it takes about three hours to walk.

It was very quiet as it is November, so end of the tourist season, but nice. The weather is still perfectly fine to go to the beach, there are still some restaurants and bars open. It's a nice little quiet place to go hike or stay on the beach without the crowds of Chania or Heraklion.

Sougia is a small village at the mouth of Agia Irini gorge, approximately 1.5hrs drive from Chania airport (we rented a car) It has a couple of mini markets and a couple of gift shops but the main street hosts mainly tavernas. The beach is a pebble beach with crystal clear water. You have access to bus,ferry and taxi services allowing you to explore the surrounding area. We have stayed in Sougia 4 times and we love the tranquility and beautiful mountainscape.

Very relaxing, chilled, and out of the way of the city hustle. Quite the feeling of hippie lifestyle, with relaxed attitude towards nudists. The beach has both areas for people who enjoy to swim with swimwear, and without. There are several tents around the far end of the beach, and the atmosphere in bars and restaurants is relaxed.
Great place for walkers as well as those who just want to enjoy the peace and quiet. Daily ferry service, and one bus service.
I stayed in Lissos rooms which was lovely and quiet, and ate in Livikon which had excellent grilled king prawns, and the fabulous lamb and beans dish

What a place.
What a place. Only one hour walk (or 7 minute taxi ride costing only 10 euro) to reach Sougia from the monastery estate guesthouse.
Locals were friendly and took the time to chat to you about your travel plans / share local knowledge. The food in every taverna we ate in was high quality fresh local produce and the prices very reasonable. Could pass an entire day on the sunloungers, listening to the sea then going for some Greek food, then watching sunset. Also Lissos is nearby - we didn't manage to visit but we took a boat trip to palaiochora beach which was lovely. Didn't beat Sougia though!

Strategically a great place for the Samaria and Irini Gorges...
Strategically a great place for the Samaria and Irini Gorges. We self catered so didn’t go into town other than to the mini markets where you can buy everything. The ferry to Agia Roumelli and Paelochora go from here too.
the smiles of the staff, especially the cleaning lady who was always happy to help. The room nicely appointed although small many shelves for storing stuff and several sockets for charging, reading lights an extra plus. Location in the very center of sougia but there was no noise from the surroundings. I especially liked the shady little corner in the patio, perfect for having a coffee or breakfast. The ground floor rooms on the back side looked lovely, with overhanging grape vines shading their patios. Overall lovely.
To Spiti mas is a completely renovated traditional house in a quiet village in a perfect location for people who are looking for authentic places close to nature.
The food in the area is great and locally sourced. Very conveniently just across the street is a very nice family taverna and only 10 min driving away is Sougia from where you can take shuttle boats to other beaches, or buses to the Samaria and Agia Irini gorges.
The hosts are very kind and helpful, and we were overall very happy with our choice.
The place was beyond my expectations, and I have stayed again and again in Sougia. This is definitely the best. The owners were very professional and helpful with everything. The hotel has excellent spacious rooms with nice furniture. Very clean and all in perfect condition. I loved the garden and the fountain.
A note for booking.com: The hotel was nearer to the beach than mentioned by booking.com, and it should be fixed for the information of future dwellers. It is a bit less than 200 m. from the beach.
The hotel manager Chris was super friendly. We felt immediatly at home. You can see and feel that he really loves his job. We loved the atmosphere so much we decided to stay an other night. The hotel was fully Booked but Chris found us an other place to sleep. He also gave us important advice for our further roadtrip. Sougia Will always be in our hearts because of the special vibe of the village and the hospitality of the hotel manager, Chris. Thanks a lot! Greetings Nele and Adam.
A big, stylish room. Spacious bathroom with shower. Balcony with table and chairs. Seemed to be well equipped for those self catering, which we weren't. Welcome cake, wine and biscuits in room. Joanna very attentive host. Questions regarding local transport prior to stay had been answered and suggestions made. All very helpful. Ideomeneas Apartments were easy to find on arrival in Sougia. Perfect for a stay before and after walking down Samaria Gorge.
Great little apartment in Sougia. Very convenient to all the local hiking trails, private parking, not far from the restaurants but not in the middle of things so pretty quiet at night. Wifi was out in the whole area for part of our stay and was mediocre when it was working but way out there it's not unexpected. Very comfortable and clean! I recommend buying groceries in Chania if you're going to cook while you're there.
The apartment was super, very easy to find and access with good parking, very clean with everything needed and comfortable bed and great shower. Ideally positioned to enjoy Sougia, boat trips and all the nearby walking and swimming. Great shops and Tavernas in Sougia also. Very helpful host with good communication before and when needed.
Galini was the first hotel as one enters Sougia by car, and we were able to check in immediately to the rooms we had booked. Quiet and well-kept hotel. Comfortable rooms. Helpful property manager. While it may be the furthest hotel from the beach, Sougia is small and the walk to the water is 5 minutes. Can't go wrong here. Easy parking.
Conveniently located but quiet. A very small well run family owned hotel a block off the beach. Helene also owns the small convenience store next door, great for ice, wine or what have you. We stayed in the top floor apartment with the loft bedroom. The apartment has everything you’ll need for a couple of nights or a couple of weeks.
The owner is very friendly which makes a huge difference when travelling alone! She was happy to keep my bag for a day while I did a round walk as well which my knees are grateful for. Room was spacious and comfortable and air conditioning easy to use. It's looking out to sea and close to everything in Sougia.
Location was key to catching ferry to and from Sameria Gorge. By staying in Sougia we didn't have to arrive early or more importantly drive back in the dark after the hike. Although it was the end of the season we received excellent service and enjoyed our balconies room during the full moon.
Superb flat in the pleasantly quiet village of Sougia. The flat was very well equipped, we received a friendly welcome and felt very comfortable.
Very comfortable big bed, nice bathroom, everything spacious and nicely furnished.
Thank you very much for this lovely stay!
The Syia Hotel is a lovely place to stay while visiting Sougia. Marcos went out of his way to make certain that we had everything we needed, and his hospitality couldn’t have been better! The studio is spacious, clean and very quietly located just off the beaten track.
lovely studio and warm welcoming people. very well appointed with everything we needed. we were about 150 metres from the sea and Sougia has great places to eat amd drink. a very chilled and relaxed place to stay. Parking on site
we will stay in these studios again
Quiet, peaceful location. Mountain Views. Clean, modern decor. Spacious. Family run hotel, proprietor Markos very helpful with suggestions for hikes day trips , etc. He does everything he can to make sure you have an enjoyable stay. Delicious breakfasts.
