Fata Morgana Studios & Apartments

We had a lovely stay at Fata Morgana Studios and Apartments. The apartment was spacious, clean, and beautifully designed, offering stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere – truly perfect for a relaxing holiday.||It’s important to note that having a car is essential, as the property is a bit remote and there are no shops or services within walking distance.||The nearby beach is absolutely breathtaking – crystal-clear water and unspoiled natural beauty. However, it has no facilities, so be prepared: there are no sunbeds, umbrellas, toilets, or restaurants.||If you’re looking for a quiet, scenic getaway and don’t mind being a little off the beaten path, this place is a hidden gem. We truly enjoyed our stay!

We loved our stay! Apartments are clean & bright & you get a cute welcome gift! Eleni one of the hosts is the kindest, positive soul! Amazing service! We loved the garden, beach and great restaurants close by!

A Hidden Gem in Southern Crete A magical location, nestled within an olive grove and overlooking a quiet, crystal-clear beach with sand dunes. On one side, you see the Southern Cretan Sea, while on the other, the imposing White Mountains stand tall—an awe-inspiring landscape. The rooms are spotless and peaceful, perfect for relaxation. All you hear is the sound of crickets and the waves. A place that is truly balm for the soul.

Very nice place to stay. Very nice hosts. Very good organization. Very good price. We recommend taverna Akti close to the village and also the beach. Thanks again for the nice stay. See you next time on Crete.

great location, friendly staff , very nice and well furnished rooms, one of the best beaches right opposite.

Fata Morgana is an excellent family resort, being in the center of an olive tree grove. Rooms are spacious and feature all comforts. The beach is just a couple of minutes walking distance away, and even in mid August it's not crowded at all. George and his 2 sisters are doing an excellent job, are always open for talking and suggestions, and take care of even the slightest problem. All 3 of them made our stay unique, we already miss them and will definitely come back.

We stayed here for two weeks. The location is excellent, right above Orthi Ammos beach and in the centre of an olive grove. Our reception was warm and friendly and we had no issues whatever during our stay.||The apartment was very clean and everything worked properly including the air conditioning, ceiling fan, Wi-Fi and TV. There was plenty of hot water and the shower pressure was good. The large bed was comfortable and sleep quality was high; we slept with the patio doors open every night. There are good fly screens on every window: we had no issues with mosquitos. ||There was adequate tableware and enough kitchen equipment to prepare simple meals - we made breakfast and lunch ourselves and had dinner out most days. Basically, an excellent self-catering apartment.||There is a useful supermarket about 1 km away which, though tiny, carries all the stock we could possibly have needed.||Fata Morgana loans sun umbrellas and beach towels which was very helpful. Take some string to tie the umbrellas to stones if the wind is strong.||Our apartment was on the ground floor and had a small balcony with table and chairs. It felt very private. The rooms have all been recently refurbished and upgraded; the design of our room was very good, with lots of matching curtains and sunblinds.||A car is essential here. The route through the mountains from Chania is not as difficult as it would appear from a map.||The beach is sandy and shelves very gently so swimming, or playing in the water, felt very safe. Access is via a sand dune that becomes really hot, so bring suitable footwear. However, when the strong meltemi or etesian wind blows the beach can be uncomfortable - as with all Greek islands in the Aegean.||We definitely recommend Fata Morgana.||||

We had a perfect stay here! Wonderful location, beautiful garden, comfortable room, lovely hosts, next to an amazing beach - everything was so good. The whole place is really well taken care of, quiet, calm, and free of crowds. Nice food at the taverna, too. It was just what we needed. To the hosts: thank you for your hospitality! We really wish we could have stayed for much longer. We will be back for sure! 🩵
