Kris Apartments

“Rentouttava paikka isolla isännällä”

Kapteeni Kris ja hänen miehistönsä tekevät sinusta tuntemaan olosi kotoisaksi heti alusta alkaen. Huoneisto on tilava ja siisti. Yksi huomautus: sängyt ovat vähän lyhyitä korkeille ihmisille (1. 90 m). Uima-allas on mukava, ja siinä on joitain aurinkotuoleja rentoutumiseen. Supermarketit ja ravinto… lisää

Kapteeni Kris ja hänen miehistönsä tekevät sinusta tuntemaan olosi kotoisaksi heti alusta alkaen. Huoneisto on tilava ja siisti. Yksi huomautus: sängyt ovat vähän lyhyitä korkeille ihmisille (1. 90 m). Uima-allas on mukava, ja siinä on joitain aurinkotuoleja rentoutumiseen. Supermarketit ja ravintolat ovat lähellä, mutta vuokra-autosta neuvotaan, jos haluat tutustua saariin. Aamiainen on joka päivä tarjolla tuoretta appelsiinimehua, teetä, paahtoleipää, tuoretta leipää, hedelmiä, munia, tomaatteja (omalta maatilaltaan!). Kris järjesti kreetalaisen yön herkullisella paikallisella ruoalla ja viinillä kohtuulliseen hintaan. Langaton internet toimi hyvin allasalueella, vaikka asunnossamme (nro 18) ei ollut signaalia. Maastopyörät ja pesukone ovat saatavilla ilmaiseksi! Ranta on lähellä, mutta muualla on mukavampia rantoja.

“Fabulous - value for mid-range money; a lovely place to stay!”

We (myself, hubby and 2 boys of 8 and 12) stayed for a week in August at Kris Apartments. Well worth the money (I found it to be about mid-range).

We (myself, hubby and 2 boys of 8 and 12) stayed for a week in August at Kris Apartments. Well worth the money (I found it to be about mid-range). Owner and all staff are extremely friendly and obliging. "Breakfast Included" doesn't do justice to the spread they put on at your convenience in the morning. The proprietor, Kris, is lovely and a real character. The pool is perfect for cooling off: kids loved to splosh about in it; I loved reading on the sunloungers. Shade provided. Coffees etc available pretty much whenever you want. The only thing to bear in mind is that the "kitchenette" really is basic. Another time I'd bring my own j-cloth, t-towel and a small vegetable knife. Even then cooking much would stretch your ingenuity. Mind you, as it meant we justified eating in tavernas (choice within walking distance, GOOD choice within short driving distance), I'm not really complaining! Lovely bit of pebbly beach 2 mins walk away (you basically have to walk past a bamboo field); lovely views. I hope we get to go again! Perfect for a family or couple who wants a nice quiet but convenient location.

“The very definition of Greek hospitality ”

I have never been to Maleme before, but having been to Crete a number of times and staying at different places around the island, I can say that Kris is one of the top 5 friendliest Cretans I have ever met.

I have never been to Maleme before, but having been to Crete a number of times and staying at different places around the island, I can say that Kris is one of the top 5 friendliest Cretans I have ever met. It is worth staying here if only to experience the true meaning of filoxenia. You will be met with smiling faces and an invitation to immediately eat before checking in, especially around dinner. Excellent food, friendly people both staff and guests. The breakfasts are large, and you will not go hungry nor want for fruit. The rooms are excellent, we had a pull down screen for the balcony door and didn't need to use the aircon. There are several signs pointing you in the direction of the apartments, so you cannot get lost. Didn't get a chance to use the bikes or the pool, but they are in a good state. Happy to stay here again!

We have recently returned from a week in Crete staying at the Kris Apartments. These apartments are situated in the small resort of Maleme, which although in itself is very quiet, is only a few miles from Platanias, a lively resort with an amazing choice of restaurants. The Kris apartments are family owned and the family are very much in evidence. They are situated in very private gardens with a lovely swmming pool, together with childrens pool, and a good seating area and bar. The apartments themselves are overall very good. They are immaculately clean, with good quality furniture and bedding and very efficient air conditioning. Nothing is too much trouble, as when I pointed out that I had asked for an upstairs apartment with sea view and got a downstairs one, two days later we were moved to a much larger 2 bedroomed upstairs one that fulfilled that criteria. Unfortunately a few days later we were on the move again as the larger apartment was needed for more guests!! However, we only moved next door so that wasn't a problem. Every day breakfast was served on the terrace and was a banquet! An earlier review referred to this phenomenon and there is no doubt that you could have eaten for England! So, why haven't I given these lovely apartments 5 stars? The only reason is the self catering facilities. In only one of the three apartments was it possible to use both rings on the cooker and in the last one an additional ring had been provided as neither was working. All the fridges were very old with no working ice boxes and in a country where the temperature in the summer must touch 40 degrees, this has to be a big disappointment. Fortunately we managed to eat out all the time we were there, but if you had wanted to self cater I think it would have been very difficult. Having said all of that, we really enjoyed our stay and would certainly recommend a visit. Maybe when Kris reads this he will upgrade the cooking facilities, I hope so. PS I have to also say the beds are very hard, but that's a personal preference.
