Fodele Beachfront Apts in Fodele

Fodele Beachfront Apts offers free Wi-Fi throughout the property and free street parking directly outside the door. Guests have access to a sun terrace, outdoor furniture, and a public shower on the beach for rinsing off sand. Express check-in and check-out, private check-in services, and a safety deposit box are provided. Airport transfers to Heraklion International Airport (29 km) can be arranged, and car hire is available on site.

Each studio apartment has a private bathroom, air conditioning, and a kitchenette with a three-ring electric hob, oven, grill, and full-size fridge-freezer. Queen-sized beds with quality mattresses and pillows are standard, and every unit includes a private balcony or terrace facing the sea. The apartments are non-smoking throughout, with a designated smoking area outside. Housekeeping is provided, and upon arrival guests receive a welcome gift of local raki, water, and homegrown fruit from the owner, Penelope.

The apartments sit directly on the quieter end of Fodele Beach, with the sea 20 meters from the terrace. Heraklion International Airport is 29 km away, and the historic palace of Knossos is 29 km distant. The village of Fodele (3 km inland) contains the El Greco Museum and additional restaurants priced for locals. A bus stop on the main road connects to larger towns, though a rental car is recommended for easier access to supermarkets and attractions.

Adjacent to the property, the Dolphin tavern serves traditional Cretan food at reasonable prices and offers free sunbeds and umbrellas to guests. Two other tavernas are within a 100-meter walk along the beach, all serving local seafood and Greek dishes. A small mini market and gift shop next to the Dolphin tavern stocks basic groceries, stylish souvenirs, and essentials.
