We stayed at Porfyra's Island for a week and loved every moment. The owner's thoughtfulness in preparing a delicious dinner for our arrival was a wonderful surprise. The maids were exceptional, cleaning daily and even picking up after our messy teenagers. The apartment was well-equipped, with air conditioning in all rooms and stunning sea views from the balcony. Free parking and proximity to a bakery and supermarket made it even more convenient. We appreciated the gift of Cretan olive oil and the extended checkout time. Highly recommended!

Can definitely recommend this hotel.
