We booked the Papadakis Villas based on the reviews, and we were not dissapointed. We arrived at 1am, we were welcomed and after a long journey and some Reiki. We slept like babies. Maria's home cooking is wonderful. Kostas, Maria & family were all so helpfull, nothing was too much trouble. We firstly hired a quad on thier recomendation then... More

Picked Kostas and Maria's place to stay like many others based on great reports for a weeks holiday before the winter & to do some scuba diving. Was not disappointed & the apartments are good value for money. The bar food was nearly as good as Kosta's raiki which was the best i've had. More

Myself and two friends booked directly with papadakis villas this August for a two week stay on the gorgeous island of Crete. We are all 29 years old and as a result wanted somewhere with the option of good food and friendly people but a bit of nightlife for the evening. After deciding on Crete we thoroughly researched resorts and... More

We had a week here in July 2011. It's location is a bit in no mans land, with the main resort being a 10 minutes walk downhill and the villages being a 10 minute walk uphill.

(Returned 4th October 2011) -Looking for a last minute holiday and only booking four days before we travelled, we checked the reviews for Crete on Trip Advisor and decided that we just had to try the Papadakis Villas. We were so pleased we did and were sorry when it was time to come home. We had a brilliant time and... More

We have never returned to the same place before but we came home on Tuesday and booked to return in May by Friday. Thanks to Yannis, Kostas and Maria for making us feel so welcome, we can't wait to go back. The rooms are basic but very clean and adequate for your needs. The villas are ideally situated halfwayup a... More
