Istron itself is a small town with some conveniences like ATM, tavernas etc. We stayed there not because we wanted to be in this particular town but because of the access it gave is to the surrounding area. With a car we could easily reach many beautiful beaches, ancient villages in the mountains, Ag Nicholas for history, churches etc. and some genuine Greek restaurants, mainly in villages. It is a good central point for many things that interest us.

Istron is a lovely place to stay with fantastic beaches and very friendly people. It is not an overly lively resort but has enough for older teens (Palace Bar was great and had lovely cocktails too and Friends had live music on some nights). It is also a great location to explore more of the island

If you want to relax soak up good food people and sandy beaches then stay for months on end. Car is always great to move around and get further out to towns like leopetra. There are nice restaurants all around the town and beyond. Never felt like I was short of choices and this trip was during April which many places close until the season.

We were there for the last week of the season (late Oct) so the hotel was half full and quiet, not sure what it would be like in high season, but we had a great time!
Great location, good private beach, terraces, gardens and a great swimming pool alternative. Beautiful views. The food in the hotel was amazing - we had a breakfast and dinner deal which was perfect for us. Breakfast was a buffet with good choices every day. The evening meal was 4 courses - all delicious cretan food and different every night - we would consider staying here again just for the food! They also had a great selection of cretan wine - very well chosen - all delicious.
Our room was simple and functional - perhaps more 'basic' than we were expecting. The double bed was (of course) two singles pushed together which wasn't so good. The wifi in the room was non existent - this could not be addressed, so we had to use the wifi in the bar (3 floors up). They should get this right for all rooms or make it clear that there is no wifi.
Ending on a positive...we found all staff were all very welcoming, friendly and helpful, with 'good enough' to excellent English (our Greek is terrible..).
We had a lovely stay and would go back.
We had a great time in Istron. The location is perfect:
- 3min from Voulisma beach and other amazing small bay beaches.
- 12min by car from Agios Nikolaos.
- very nice & traditional villages around 15-30min ( Kritsa, Kroustas, etc).
- next to the rooms there is a mini market that the owner runs, which is extremely convenient for daily stuff you need.
The apartment is new, fully equiped & comfortable (washing maschine, iron available).
Very friendly & welcoming owner!!!
I would definitely recommend & revisit.
It is the most beautiful place we visited in the region, with an amazing view over the see and the mountains. It is very comfortable, well equipped, details are very well solved. Decoration in the garden, also lavander and fruit trees. The hosts will make you feel like at home. Super friendly, welcoming and helpful people. Highly recommend this place for everyone visiting Crete. If we come again in the east of the Crete island, we will undoubtedly book this place again.
The house is beautifully beautifully furnished and decorated as well as perfectly equipped. The bead was very comfy and has a wonderful view of the bay and sea. We also enjoyed the jacuzzi every day after our explorations of the area. Even beach chairs and umbrella for trips to the many beaches in the area are available. The host checks always if you need something or if he can make your stay exen better.
If possible I would rate the house with 12 points.
I’ve been stayed at Istro for 10 days with my husband and friends. I was really good time for all of us. The owner is so kind and nice person, that we were very sad when a leaving day become.
The apartments are huge and have everything that’s you need, the view is beautiful, and the restaurant is also perfect. We decided to come back one day there.
Apartments are situated in very nice quiet place, every night we slept with the sounds of the sea. Rooms are with a nice view to the sea. Everything that we need hosts left for us in apartments. We felt like at home. Very important thing is that the most beautiful beaches on Crete are there, 5-10 minutes from apartments
Rich dinner positions, sea really close to hotel, service, location, the bay, closeness to the town with other beaches, tavernas, shops. Petros, who speaks Russian and is familiar with Russian mentality, and keeps the polite distance while being communicable, made the stay more comfortable for me.
Nice terrace. Convenient matraces in beds. Great beach (Istro Municipal Beach, it is quite narrow and not many people fit there, but the water and sand is fantastic).
Owner was very friendly person, that's why it hurts me to write the honest review, which will not be very good, more below.
The most amazing appartment with the most spectacular views! The owner is so sweet he also left us fruit, a bottle of water and a bottle of wine! If you are staying here make sure you book your dinner at MamaLoukia & Lotzeta, believe me it will be the best meal you will eat in Crete.
They have a very welcoming and wonderful staff, ready to accomodate you're every request. The view from the breakfast bufee is wonderfull. You also have a pool, but let's face it, you come to crete to go to the beaches.
We had a lovely time here. The studio was located perfectly to explore this part of Crete. Daphne was super welcoming and helpful, gave us recommendations and tips for the island. Would definitely come again!
Spacious apartment with a beautiful view of the bay. Private parking. The apartment is very comfortable and very close to the beach and restaurants. Ideal place to explore the east part of Crete.
The hotel location is great-above the beautiful bay and its private beach, the staff is professional and very polite.There is a large buffet selection to chose from and the food is delicious.
The view from the hotel is spectacular to a nice bay. Also the resort's staff was helpful and nice. These were the only positive experiences during our stay at Istron Bay Hotel.
We loved our stay at Maria’s apartments. Maria and her family are very sweet and kind and made our stay in Istro so memorable. Walking distance to two beautiful, calm beaches.
