The studio with sea view is located almost on the beach.
It is quiet and you can’t miss the sunrise!!!
We rented a car in order to visit the region, but you can easily walk to restaurants and supermarkets.
Alexandra answers quickly and is very nice.
This was the first time I booked using VRBO and wasn't sure about it but this place was amazing. It had a surprise view of the sunrise that could be seen laying in bed. Very clean. We got in very late but was easy to get the keys and get settled in. Great little town with several great restaurants in walking distance. Little beach area that was not too crowded and great relaxing after a day of touring. Highly recommend.

About the host
Hosted by Alexandra Papamarkaki Isaksen
I’m half Greek (from Crete) and half Norwegian. I speak fluent English, Norwegian, and Greek, and have lived and worked on Crete for many years. I started my company ALMYRA in 2010 with rental properties mainly on Crete. My previous background is real estate sales and development on Crete. I have chosen the properties with which I work based on my personal and selective criteria for a perfect holiday villa on this amazingly beautiful island. I wish you a wonderful holiday and will do my utmost to make it so!

Kelly, September 2022 Wonderful bright, fresh, well-appointed suite with amazing view! Right on a terrific beach with a load of restaurants out the door! Lovely town and close to highway and Chania. Loved it!
Terrence, July 2022 Alexandra is a wonderful host. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and absolutely loved her apartment. It is newly renovated, modern, very clean, with a comfortable bed, small kitchen if you choose to cook, and a lovely ocean view terrace. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and the surrounding area. There are great restaurants in walking distance and you can hike to other areas as well. We explored the area and walked to Afrata Beach (about 1.5 hours) enjoyed a lovely seafood lunch at their restaurant, where the gracious owners insisted on treating us. Then walked back through the olive tree fields of Astratigos. Another day was spent driving over to Ravdoucha with a delicious lunch at Waves on the Rock. Alexandra thoroughly knows the island. In addition to hosting a great place to stay, she provided us with excellent recommendations. Thank you for such a special time in Kolymbari, Alexandra!
Michele, August 2021 Super responsive and helpful host. Really nice, cozy and clean apartment in a fantastic location- the terrace is right next to the sea!
Katharina, August 2021 We had an excellent stay. The apartment is new and has everything needed and more. The balcony is perfect! Communication was great.

Sandra, August 2021 My daughter and I loved our stay at this very modern studio during our 3 day visit of Crete. The studio had a well-stocked kitchen, modern bathroom, comfortable bed and bedding and beautiful sunrises to wake up to each morning. We thought when we booked it that we could get from Chania to the studio without a car but very glad we did rent one because the island is so much bigger than we imagined and you need a car to experience everything. Loved the little town, cozy restaurants all around and walks along the beach. Would highly recommend Alexadra's place for a base to explore Balos and surrounding areas!
Kilian, July 2021 Wir hatten einen sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt bei Alexandra. Die Wohnung wurde erst vor kurzem gebaut, alles war modern und sauber. Der Balkon mit Blick aufs Meer ist ein Traum gewesen. Zudem konnte man sich morgens vom Sonnenaufgang wecken lassen. Wir können es nur empfehlen.
