I have never seen so many facilities. As a family with young children, we felt like being at home. El Zachos cottage is highly recommended.

Helleni, our hostess, was very welcoming! She even invited us into her office/apartment for a refreshing beer and a snack and some interesting conversation. She is proud of her apartments and rightly so! They are spacious, very clean and comfortable with a fantastic view of the Libyan Sea. We had a lower studio with a balcony right next to the pool and the pool to ourselves! The sea water surprised us but did not deter us from swimming several times. We dined at Kaliotzina restaurant a 4 minute drive away on the advice of Helleni and it was outstanding! We have been to the south side of Crete two other times and know it is well worth a visit....we truly hope to return once again!

We went out of season, reason being work from April until November. It was just what we were looking for quiet, peaceful. A few bars for drinks, cocktails and a few places to eat. Most others were closed, but really did not matter to us. Ideal base for visiting Vai beach and other places of interest.

Beautiful place to stay, relaxed but with a good choice of places to walk, eat and take in the sun. Try The Green Beach, it has a small restaurant down partly on the beach. A lovely quiet place to read a book in peace with crystal clear sea.

Makrygialos is absolutely lovely.
Makrygialos is absolutely lovely. The main beach is great and is perfect for children. We ate out every lunch and dinner time. Fantastic selection of restaurants. Found them very reasonable; you can eat cheaply or spend more if you wish. You can walk around Makrygialos very easily and everything you need is there. You won't find nightclubs or noisy bars! It is very much a family holiday environment. You need a car to get there or a taxi and definitely if you want to do some sightseeing.

Lovely peaceful place with a safe clean beach and plenty of places to eat. I don't think that there is a more friendly place in Crete and I am only sorry that it took us so long to find it. We are going to try and visit every year for as long as we are able to.

It's a beautiful village by the sea.
It's a beautiful village by the sea. The beach is shallow and safe, so great for swimmers and non swimmers alike. There doesn't seem to be a lot of hotels, (a selfish but good point) although there were plenty of tavernas catering for all tastes. There seemed to be enough people about to make the resort seem busy but not overcrowded.
I have been to Elafonisi and Balos beaches which are more beautiful but the facilities and clean beach means that I would rather stay at Makry Gialos. We swam every day that We were there.
Parking can be a bit of a problem as the car parks aren't large or well signposted and one is up a very steep hill.
We had great food at the Faros taverna and at the Cavern bar. A very special mention to Ian and Sharon at the Cavern bar for great (UK) food and the warmest of welcomes. We actually watched Queen Elizabeth the II funeral in the bar, as it was the nearest we could get to being there.
Most of the beach is covered with sunbeds although you only have to buy a drink to use them. I have been to resorts that charge up to 10 euros a day for two sunbeds and a parasol!
I am loving the thought of spending more time there next year.
The biggest problem for me were the fumes emitted by the Chrissi island boat drifting across the beach between 10.30 and 11.15 in the morning when it left its mooring.

Makry Gialos gave us the impression of a bit shabby place.
Makry Gialos gave us the impression of a bit shabby place.
If you leave the location of the appartment , you come onto the main road where ( if you turn right into the 'village' ) some little shops can be found. Best to stay near the location of big blue appartments.......
We had an evening dinner in a restaurant near our accomodation which was ok. There is also a fish restaurant on the end of the small boulevard.

Impeccable employees works in this hotel, so genteel and informative with the smile, ready to help you at any time you want it. My room was great, with comfy pillows and mattress. Sunset was amazing from my private balcony. Breakfast was also tasty with many choices. You can also enjoyed the Greek specialties and pizza made in traditional ovens. Unique experience. Reasonable prices for summer. Overall was all excellent and I would love to repeated again next summer.
Very clean, high quality apartment equipped with everything you need for your holiday, very comfortable king sized bed, plus a single bed in a partitioned off area of the main bedroom fully equipped kitchen, everything as described and as per photos, very friendly host who is always on hand to help and advise. Great location. Highly recommended. Best accommodation we have had anywhere in Greece. Will definitely be back.
It is a lovely, large and clean apartment approximately 5-10mins walking distance from the beach and restaurants, with a great views of Makry Gialos from the balcony. The hosts were very friendly. We highly recommend this property and we will visit them again.
