Istron itself is a small town with some conveniences like ATM, tavernas etc. We stayed there not because we wanted to be in this particular town but because of the access it gave is to the surrounding area. With a car we could easily reach many beautiful beaches, ancient villages in the mountains, Ag Nicholas for history, churches etc. and some genuine Greek restaurants, mainly in villages. It is a good central point for many things that interest us.

Istron is a lovely place to stay with fantastic beaches and very friendly people. It is not an overly lively resort but has enough for older teens (Palace Bar was great and had lovely cocktails too and Friends had live music on some nights). It is also a great location to explore more of the island

If you want to relax soak up good food people and sandy beaches then stay for months on end. Car is always great to move around and get further out to towns like leopetra. There are nice restaurants all around the town and beyond. Never felt like I was short of choices and this trip was during April which many places close until the season.

We were there for the last week of the season (late Oct) so the hotel was half full and quiet, not sure what it would be like in high season, but we had a great time!
Great location, good private beach, terraces, gardens and a great swimming pool alternative. Beautiful views. The food in the hotel was amazing - we had a breakfast and dinner deal which was perfect for us. Breakfast was a buffet with good choices every day. The evening meal was 4 courses - all delicious cretan food and different every night - we would consider staying here again just for the food! They also had a great selection of cretan wine - very well chosen - all delicious.
Our room was simple and functional - perhaps more 'basic' than we were expecting. The double bed was (of course) two singles pushed together which wasn't so good. The wifi in the room was non existent - this could not be addressed, so we had to use the wifi in the bar (3 floors up). They should get this right for all rooms or make it clear that there is no wifi.
Ending on a positive...we found all staff were all very welcoming, friendly and helpful, with 'good enough' to excellent English (our Greek is terrible..).
We had a lovely stay and would go back.
We had a great time in Istron. The location is perfect:
- 3min from Voulisma beach and other amazing small bay beaches.
- 12min by car from Agios Nikolaos.
- very nice & traditional villages around 15-30min ( Kritsa, Kroustas, etc).
- next to the rooms there is a mini market that the owner runs, which is extremely convenient for daily stuff you need.
The apartment is new, fully equiped & comfortable (washing maschine, iron available).
Very friendly & welcoming owner!!!
I would definitely recommend & revisit.
Balcony on upper floor with fantastic view an bay below. Terrace on lower flow, also nice view.
Spacious rooms with upper and lower floor. Apartment suited for 4 people, so with ony 2 it was definitely more than enough space.
Spacious shower, which were not a given in other accomodations on crete.
Nice sized pool with numerous lounge chairs. Nice fruit basket.
Only a 15-20min walk down to the Voulisma Beach and the small village with restaurants.
Apartments are situated in very nice quiet place, every night we slept with the sounds of the sea. Rooms are with a nice view to the sea. Everything that we need hosts left for us in apartments. We felt like at home. Very important thing is that the most beautiful beaches on Crete are there, 5-10 minutes from apartments
Wonderful, beautiful place! Picturesque view! Daphne is very polite and helpful! We lived in very stylish and comfortable renovated apartments where there were everything you need, even more! You feel here as at home! Very close to the beeches and to famous sightseeings. Highly recommend Istron Homes!
Rich dinner positions, sea really close to hotel, service, location, the bay, closeness to the town with other beaches, tavernas, shops. Petros, who speaks Russian and is familiar with Russian mentality, and keeps the polite distance while being communicable, made the stay more comfortable for me.
The most amazing appartment with the most spectacular views! The owner is so sweet he also left us fruit, a bottle of water and a bottle of wine! If you are staying here make sure you book your dinner at MamaLoukia & Lotzeta, believe me it will be the best meal you will eat in Crete.
They have a very welcoming and wonderful staff, ready to accomodate you're every request. The view from the breakfast bufee is wonderfull. You also have a pool, but let's face it, you come to crete to go to the beaches.
The hotel is 1 km walking from the closest village but it is not very bad. It is a beautiful walking at day light.
The bad was too soft for us and the shower was weak and not warm enough.
The property had a beautiful view of Istron bay. Our studio apartment was very clean and had everything we needed during our stay. We enjoyed our terrace with the views every night.
The view from the hotel is spectacular to a nice bay. Also the resort's staff was helpful and nice. These were the only positive experiences during our stay at Istron Bay Hotel.
We loved our stay at Maria’s apartments. Maria and her family are very sweet and kind and made our stay in Istro so memorable. Walking distance to two beautiful, calm beaches.
We had a great time in Villa Angela. The hotel was very nice and clean and the host was very kind and helpfull to us. We would like to come back. Thank you so much!
This is by far the best place to stay in Istron, friendly People, very clean and new villa.
I amost forgot, The views are breathtaking!
See you next year,
Oliver
