"The staff is really nice with a nice communication and service 10/10. But the room in the basement is just horrible. If you avoid rooms 888 and 889 your room should be nice. But 888 was really bad… lots of mosquitoes and humidity. We will never go back there and we don’t recommend. "

"It was a lovely stay, the staff were lovely, very friendly and kind. Bus stop 3 is a short walk which was very handy. You can get the bus from the airport to the place. Saves a lot of money instead of a taxi."

"The private pool was very cold so could not be enjoyed as much as would have hoped.
Housekeeping was excellent in the service provided.
Would come back to the resort but at a different time/season of the year."

The resort is amazing! Everything you could need and more. It’s very family friendly.
The only bad thing is that the wifi did not work in our room the entire stay which was frustrating.

Great place to stay, facilities great. Bit hard to use outdoor pools as they aren’t heated. Has a good mini mart, lots of food choices, buffet options were ok. Nice place to walk around. They facilitate lots of kids so have lots of things for them. Lovely resort

Booked last minute due to ferry cancellation. Up a stepp hill but well signed. Arrived early and were offered to wait in bar by the pool until room prepared, earlier than advertised check in. Incredibly friendly and hospitable staff, amazingly good home made food and great atmosphere with all guests welcomed and friendly suggestions for events and things to do. Also amazing views across the bay and pleasantly quiet a short walk from everything.

The property was excellent. It was in a great location, with good restaurants and supermarkets around. We could walk to the port area about 1 km away. It was spacious, clean and very well maintained. The staff were friendly and very helpful. We really valued the washing machine and gym. The area was very quiet. The only issue we had was that the pool was heavily chlorinated and caused some skin irritation with my husband. Apart from that, everything was perfect.

Beautiful new build hotel with exceptional space and cleanliness. Staff were very friendly and helpful. An easy walk into the old town or down to harbour and taxis were very affordable in Heraklion if needed.

Very nice hotel with great rooms and lovely amenities. We really enjoyed our three night stay at the Galaxy. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the buffet breakfast the best we’ve had on our travels with so much fresh produce and warm food options. Good location with a short walk (15 min) to the old town, also the ‘hop on hop off’ bus stops straight outside the hotel.

The property exceeded my expectations. I was a bit dubious of all the positive reviews, but it’s true. The place is spotless, the bathroom is so gorgeous I decided to give myself a little impromptu pamper night in! The tv is massive and the room is almost like a studio or serviced apartment, it is well equipped and immaculate. The cleaner who I met when I arrived early to drop my bags was so kind and Effie spoke to me on the phone and helped me organise a taxi for my early morning flight. Thank...

The best area to stay in Agkisaras is along the main coastal road, particularly around the central section where the majority of hotels and amenities are located.
This area stretches along the beachfront, offering direct access to the sea and a relaxed atmosphere. You'll find a good selection of restaurants, cafes, and shops conveniently situated along the road, making it easy to stroll to dinner or pick up essentials. The main beach here is well-maintained and offers sun loungers and parasols for a comfortable day by the water.
Couples looking for a relaxing escape will find this area particularly appealing. Many of the hotels cater to adults, offering amenities like spa services and swimming pools with sea views. It's easy to enjoy peaceful evenings with a meal overlooking the Aegean Sea, and the gentle pace of life here is superb for unwinding.
Families will also appreciate the convenience of staying along the main coastal road. The beaches are generally calm and suitable for children, and many hotels offer family-friendly facilities such as kids' clubs and dedicated swimming areas.
When is the best time to go to Agkisaras?
The best time to visit Agkisaras is during the shoulder seasons, specifically from May to early June or from September to October.
These months offer warm, pleasant weather superb for enjoying the beaches and outdoor activities without the intense heat and larger crowds of the peak summer months (July and August). You'll find that the sea is warm enough for swimming, and the local tavernas and shops are fully operational.
For couples looking for a relaxed retreat, these shoulder seasons are ideal. You can enjoy quieter walks along the coastline, more intimate dining experiences, and easier access to popular sites like the Palace of Knossos or the charming towns of Chania and Rethymno, which are a short drive away.
