This was such a pretty hotel in a great spot close enough to Georgioupoli to go into town quickly (5 min away) but still far enough away that it felt quiet and peaceful, like a little escape. It was really quiet at night, which made sleeping here really nice. Breakfast was good and the staff were very friendly. We did have a small issue with the AC leaking (stuff happens) but the owner sorted it out quickly, which we really appreciated. Overall, a great place to stay if you’re looking for somewhere relaxing and a bit removed, but still located nicely between Chania and Rethymno. Would definitely recommend!

AMAZING

I booked this property 6 months in advance after seeing the pictures and reading the reviews. My wife and I couldn't believe it when we arrived from Heraklion and drove thru the seaside town of Georgioplous and then up the hillside to Alkion Apartments. It was amazing! We were greeted with a warm welcome and fresh hand squeezed OJ a frappe and homemade cakes. This is a family owned and operated property and they are the most friendly, kind and helpful people you will meet. EVERYTHING IS VERY CLEAN. The home cooked breakfast is delicious and you will not beat their prices. I think all the reviews I read can summerize that this is a great place to stay while on Crete.

Breathtaking views perched on the hills overlooking the sea and the white mountains. Run by a wonderful and helpful local family. I loved this property even with the tiny shower and slow internet (Whole area is slow). This is the best place for this area, close to a beautiful town Georgioupoli and to over 6-10 miles of beach. It has a nice pool but the balconies are the steal.

Fantastic view and charming family run business.

On arrival at Albion we were greeted by Dimitri and we were given coffee and cake. When we were ready Dimitri helped with our cases. Our apartment was right at the top. The bed faces out to the mountains. There was everything one needed along with the care and attention from the family. Our air conditioning unit stopped working and while we were out a technician was called and it could not be repaired. We were then moved tho another room. While the air on there was noisy it was acceptable although we were then provided with a stand alone fan. We really cannot find anything wrong with the property so long as you are not expecting a luxurious establishment. The shower has been mentioned as being hand held, but it seems that is the norm here in Crete.

Well appointed apartments away from town

We had a last minute end of season stay at the Alkion, and could not have chosen better. Dimitri and his family were charming and generous, the apartments were clean with well appointed balconies giving sea views. We liked the fact that the Alkion is about 3 km out of town, and the fact that it is up in the hills gives spectacular views both of the seaside town of Gergioupolis below and beautiful surrounding countryside as well as far distant mountains. The apartments are clean and well serviced, the pool has plenty of sunbeds, and there are two or three restaurants close by (100m) if you don't want to eat in town or self cater.

Fantastic value!

From the breathtaking views of the mountains and the beach to the wonderful welcome from hosts, Evangelina and Ilios, this hotel is a great find. Spotlessly clean and comfortable with a huge delicious breakfast available as an extra, I hesitate to recommend too much in case there is no vacancy for when I next return, which I hope will be soon! Very conveniently located as base to explore Western Crete.
