Olga Studios

Throughout our entire stay at the Olga Apartments, Giorgos and Stella made us feel very welcome. We  booked the apartment for the Monday but due to late flights we didnt arrive until nearly 3am Tuesday morning,  the Travel Agent, equipped with all our travel info, couldnt communicate to Giorgos our arrival time for some odd  reason , (something they need to fix) which meant he sat up all night to make sure we arrived safely and still managed to have a massive smile and warm greeting regardless of the time.  Nothing was ever a bother to them. The entire complex was immaculate, including their spotless swimming pool with very comfy sun loungers. We had a balcony on the first floor, which was a fabulous touch.  We went self catering, however you did have the choice to have your meals there. Next time, we will do this as Giorgos is an amazing chef who knows how to make a cracking steak.  Complex is very close to the beach, a mere 5 minute walk, with lots of amazing restaurants on the beach front or shops for your souvenirs. If you don't fancy a night at a restaurant, you are able to have a drink at the poolside bar, where Giorgos is an amazing host full of banter, chat all round, great character. We had a fantastic time from start to finish, Giorgos and Stella have a fantastic wee family. Thank you for a fantastic stay. We can't wait to stay with you and your wonderful family again.

The warmest owners! Honestly! We saw the room online & went to have a look, he offered us a better price a ride home and picked us up at the previous hotel, when we arrived he made dinner for us and the other couple. The rooms are beautiful, decorated lovely. We slept lovely and made proper use of the swimming pool and the cute sun beds! Olga studios - thanks a million and see you soon!

Very friendly staff and courtyard. Room was clean and comfortable. Would have really liked coffee available at the property and more reliable wifi. Website said “coffee in common areas”, but I never found it, if available. Kettle, fridge, dishes in the room, but no coffee — even instant. For my 1-night stay, it was fine walking to a beach café for take-out ☕️. Wifi was an issue as trying to make arrangements with a group.

Me and my partner Sofia had a 5 night stay at Olga Studios and It was such a lovely experience. A clean and spacious room with a balcony with a sun trap. Great owners who made us feel so welcome and were so friendly and the area that Olga is in is so cute with lovely little restaurants and cafe's. Also massive bonus to any cat lovers is that the area is filled with beautiful cats everywhere and the hotel is home to 2 gorgeous friendly cats that give the place so much personality. We will definitely be coming back !

We had a long day of traveling and a lot of issues with a ferry and some other stuff. We didn’t get into Heraklion until 10:30pm and we’re searching for a place to stay last minute. We found this one! We booked and showed up, exhausted. The owners were so welcoming and kind. They whipped up some chicken, Greek salad and fries for us at 11/11:30pm. We will definitely be back!

The hosts were the highlight. George and Stella. They couldn't do enough. Going over and beyond expectations. George's pork chops are as good as any you will get anywhere. 🙂 The Holiday appartments/Studios were excellent value for money. The beach a 5 min. Walk. The major towns of Heraklion and Hersonisos are 20 minutes on the bus. Every 15 mins or 30mins depending on time of day. Around 2 euros. Bus stops outside the gate. And across the rd.

Fantastic apartments, basic but very comfortable. Jorgos and his wife make you feel as if you are part of their family. Very helpful with information about where to go and how to get about. Buses stop right outside, very cheap to use. We will definitely stay again if we return to Crete.

lovely rooms with everything we needed. amazing food cooked by the host was wonderful and authentic. couldn’t recommend this place more, lovely pool area with very comfy sun beds. also a short (5 min) walk to the beach with nice tavernas, and a 30 min bus ride to Heraklion, with the bus stop conveniently being right outside the hotel. 100% recommend

We first stayed at Olga Studios in 2019 but, due to the Pandemic. We paid a one day visit to the hotel last year and noted that the overall look of the hotel has been improved. We spoke to Giorgos and arranged to stay in May 2023. Not only has the look changed but the rooms have all been upgraded too.. What hasn't changed is the warm welcome and hospitality from Giorgos and Stella, it was great to see them again. Joined other residents at the bar and we chatted into the early hours of the morning. Giorgos cannot do enough for you and that makes the stay all the more pleasurable. Definitely be back
