Location is the jewel in the crown for Akti. Went for a 10 day break with four teenage children and they enjoyed every minute. Bed and Breakfast only but that was perfect for us. Young girl who runs the bar upstairs by the Pool is good fun and friendly. Recommend as a B&B.

My husband and I visited the first week of the season via Olympic Holidays and can only say that it was a true delight. The hotel lived up to all the previous reviews with a friendly warmth by all the staff. Stathis and Nikos were very good hosts and will endeavour to make sure your visit is perfect. The highlight...

However its simple charm remains unchanged and the service and attention to detail just gets better from a family who really do care.... More

Drinks and meals right on the beach and service with a smile! Spectular location, a short walk to a glorious beach or the option of the rooftop pool. Ok it's not flash like some of the other hotels in the area but in my opinion it's very good value for money.

This year we stayed at Akti Olous for the third time. For my wife it was her fifth time! Very nice family hotel, friendly management and staff, good price-quality, nice restaurant, clean rooms, and good atmosphere. When you are looking for a place to unwind, visit Akti Olous! All things going well, we hope to return next year!

We stayed here at the beginning of October. The hotel is in a beautiful location along the bay from the main 'town' of Elounda but close enough to walk to if you want the bars and restaurants. The communal areas of the hotel were fine. Reception, pool area and bar were all well presented but we were not so keen... More
