This was our first visit to Crete. We needed a week off for farniente, reading, visiting, relaxing. Our vacations always include intensive traveling around as we want to discover places.
Vergis Epavlis was our oasis of comfort and calm and the service we received from Ioannis and his team was outstanding. Always available, either in person or over the phone, he helped us design our plan for the week, taking into account not only our personal preferences but even the quickly changing weather conditions Crete has in January. The central location of Agios Myronas makes it fast and easy to travel to any place of the island.
It took one phone call for a glitch in the heating system to be repaired in no time. I forgot a couple of small items in the room; I received them in my mailbox less than a week after being home.
Try the Ethimiko Special Salad in the village tavern!
And yes: you do need a car if you stay at Vergis Epavlis!

My wife and I have traveled around the world and stayed at many great hotels but in our opinion Vergis Epavlis is the best. The setting is beautiful and peaceful, the restaurant is tremendous and the views from the pool are breathtaking. What made our stay so special though was the people, how nice they are, and how they make you feel at home (although I only can wish my own home was so luxurious!). The hotel also is very conveniently located to the main road in Crete and a great spot for seeing the island. I recommend Vergis Epavlis to anyone and everyone. In fact, I'd recommend going to Crete just to have the experience of staying at the hotel again. Thanks Vergis Epavlis for such a fantastic time!

This was our second time in vergis epavlis, first was the honeymoon and now we came for our wedding anniversary.
Other people have already described the place, we also did it in our review last year after the first time. The place is very special, for us what makes it amazing is the people that run it, Ioannis and Stella. personally, coming there is like recharging with positive energy. every time we remember it we smile.

My husband and I stayed for 4 nights at Vergis Epavlis, and this beautiful location made Crete our favorite part of our trip to Greece (over Athens, Mykonos and Santorini). We stayed in the Eros room which was lovely. The little details, which matter a lot of us, were all taken care of... the room was phenomenal, the service by Stella and the manager was so very impressive, and the breakfast was perfect. We had not done much research on what to do in Crete, but they had it all figured out for us with maps, itineraries and recommendations for the best locations throughout the island. In one word, everything was just so EASY... lunch in our room, wine on the terrace, renting a car, tips for attending the local festival... whatever we asked, they provided. Bliss!
