Olga Studios

Owner is extremely kind and welcoming! 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!

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Olga. Georgios was an excellent host and couldn`t conceivably have done more to accommodate us - indeed he got his children to sing Happy Birthday to me! The property is in Gournes rather than Kokkini Hani which provides different options but expect a 25 minute walk to Kokkini Hani centre. The room was large but not without the usual Greek plumbing issues easily resolvable with a little imagination and adaptation. Pool and bar area is nice enough and the bus stop is literally right outside. Fantastic value for money we would definitely return to Olga should we return to the area. We found Gournes/ Kokkini Hani a little quiet but likely different in high season. I recommend 100% Yammas Georgios. Very best wishes for the future Ian & Sue

What a fantastic holiday . We stayed at the Olga studios for 11 nights half board Giorgos and Stella are the most amazing hosts , friendly, family orientated and couldn’t do enough for us, by the time we left we felt like family. The rooms are very comfortable , stylish and well decorated . The pool and bar area is so relaxing with comfortable loungers and sun shades. The food was amazing as good as you can get in any restaurant you could go to in the town. Giorgos is a fantastic chef. Our teenagers were made to feel welcome and love the family atmosphere. We all had an amazing time here and will definitely go back next year . Thank you for such a great holiday . We will see you next year

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.
