The location is excellent. Kato Zakros is the perfect place to relax. Even in the middle of the summer, it is not crowded. It has some small, but delicious and relatively cheap restaurants next to the beach. The Zakros Minoan palace is a 5-minute walk from the property. The exit of the Gorge of the Dead is two minutes away. Xerokampos, which is famous for its sandy beaches, is a 20-minute drive. The property itself is excellent for a family; it is clean, it has all the facilities you may need, and has a perfect view to the sea.

Most travelers will arrive in Crete through Chania or Heraklion, then either drive or get a bus eastward. They might do as I did and hop to Agios Nikolaos, then to Sitia, and finally will travel further east to the small town of Zakros. At that point there are two ways to the village of Kato Zakros; either a short drive or a hike through the Gorge of the Dead. The Gorge is not particularly long but the ground is covered in loose rocks, which means every step must be carefully taken and you must be physically apt with good mobility. For the love of God, make sure you and your friends wear good boots with ankle support. I took the hike on a nice breezy day. The Gorge of the Dead is where the ancient Minoans of the region laid their dead to rest — and if you go there on a quiet day you'll understand why. It is a place of introspective peace and quiet. I arrived at Kato Zakros around noon, finding a very quiet and peaceful village in the process of preparing itself for the approaching tourist season. The studio was atop a hill, with an absolutely stunning view of the village, the Minoan ruins of Kato Zakros, the olive groves and the sea. Georgia welcomed me with food and drink, and her hospitality was so great that during my stay I even had lunch with her and her family. The studio is a cozy, compact home with a small kitchen and spacious bathroom, and a bed with some kind of magical capacity to induce incredible sleep. The whole place gives off a sense of peace and quiet that cannot be conveyed with words. After crossing the Gorge of the Dead all the problems and stresses of life back home are so far away. The insanely wealthy burn small fortunes building excessive homes that cannot give the sense of peace that Georgia's studio gives. Plus the combo of Gorge of the Dead + Georgia's Studio + Minoan Palace + Beach is the kind of thing psychologists should seriously consider a high tech therapy method.

Localisation of the house was the best in the area of Kato Zakros. Gorgeous view of the bay. Peacefull place, full of cretan plants (olive trees, citrus trees, tangerines trees, etc.). House has good equipped kitchen, TV, Netflix, good bed and everything you need to rest during holidays. Marianna, the Owner of Anthia Apartment See View is a very hospitable woman! She took us to the olive oil factory in Zakros. Anthia Apartment See View has good start for walk to The Gorge of the Death, Minoan Palace in Kato Zakros, and the Pelekita Cave. Short walk to the beach in Kato Zakros and great greek taverns (Taverna Glaros with greek food, great location, great owners, great price).

Largely a number of tavernas and rent rooms behind a mixed shingle / sand beach. It is quiet, as it is quite small, but this is because it is at the end of the paved road and due to government restrictions on development (to protect the Minoan palace site). So, if you want a quiet, relatively undeveloped location right on the beach, but with the benefit of a number of different tavernas to choose from and accommodation nearby, this is it. It is an excellent base for exploring the local area, especially if you like walking and/or historic sites.

Beautiful beach with free sunbeds and umbrellas and friendly tavernas onto the beach. Its slight remoteness means its not overrun with tourists and is very peaceful. Do get up early to walk the Gorge - stunning.

Ideal for active folks who like an authentic Greek beach hamlet vibe. Nice terrace, good views, lovely staff. Good food. It’s not a big room but has great lighting. Mosquito spray helped our dinner experience ;), thanks for offering it to us. All in all, a comfy restful overnight!

Kato Zakros is lower Zakros, a very small village with several tavernas, a pebbly beach with parasols & loungers and a tiny harbour where the fishing boats come and go. No shops here. Picturesque, set in spectacular hills and to stay in a local house or apartment is bliss. A 10-15 minute trip in car takes you to Ano Zakros, that's upper Zakros which has plenty of shops, supermarkets and a Pharmacy. Visit the mountain source of the water spring here. Fabulous. There is a really excellent Natural History Museum here in Ano Zakros- a must to visit, €3, where a wonderful knowledgeable lady gave us terrific information on local area. Tavernas here too. I forgot to mention the Gorge...a great walk through the Gorge of the Dead, I think so called because Minoan people may have buried their dead in the holes in the hills. Stunning place. Long walk, about 4 hours from beginning to end coming out at different place.

Kato Zagros has an excellent beach, in fact more than one. Plenty of parking. Choice of beachside restaurants. A great Minoan excavation and the Zagros (Deadman) Gorge walk starts in the town. There are many walks to explore. Serviced by daily tour buses.

This is a place of peace and quiet. Great area for walking. There is the archealogical site, the gorge of the Dead to visit. Lots of choice for eating, i would recommend Akrogiali Taverna. Our accommodation was up high above the beach, which was not so good for anyone with problems walking.

A great location on the hill above Kato Zakros. Outside were hammocks, lots of chairs to gaze over the valley to the sea. Inside was very traditional (the clue is in the name...) with dark decor and collections of old farrier tools on the walls. Not like anywhere else we have stayed! Kitchen area and bathroom with the bathroom easily reached from the bed. A great night at the local taverna, recommended by our host, who was charming, and lovely views. The sea front restaurants are all lovely. Zakros and the mountains are a must-see.

This is a well presented room with everything I needed with a perfect terrace from which to admire the view. George is friendly and helpful. The location is excellent, and each room is positioned to capture the view while still maintaining a feeling of privacy. An easy walk down to the tavernas at the beach for dinner, only a few minutes away. I think these apartments have the best panoramic views in Kato Zakros. I stayed for three nights, next time I'll stay longer.
