Been to the Villas Esperides now 3 times! Have to say its a fantastic place and a very reasonable price. Properties are clean, serviced regularly, and very quiet at night. Security is good and the all the facilities you need are there. Bar is excellent and so is the food. No real problems but a couple of important points to... More

We returned again to Esperides villas and were greeted by the family Markakis who are always around to help if needed or just to chat around the pool bar area. We have returned here for many years so are probably a little biased but if you want good value, clean basic apartments with no frills in an excellent location, these... More

Esperides provides a unique example of Greek hospitality, as well as a cosy accommodation site, where service and friendliness are top notch quality! Esperides Villas is an outstanding exception within the slightly kitschy setting of Hersonissos. The architecture and the landscaping is unique, and you immediately feel that you are on holidays! At the same time, the setting and the... More

It's a 20-30 minute UPHILL walk to the village from any Hersonissos bus station. I'd recommend stopping at bus stop 23 - going uphill at supermarket Manos. Whilst I do like peace and quiet, the daily uphill walk is overly tiring and taxis charge a standard rate of 7 euros from Hersonissos to Koutouloufari. Unless you're renting a car, I'd... More

We have been going to Koutouloufari/Piskopiano for the past 6 years. We stayed in Esperides with numerous family members and friends in September 2008 when we were getting married and would highly recommend staying here. Stelios (owner) is extremely hospitable, friendly and helpful- he helped us with various things for our wedding and nothing was too much bother. The staff... More

We have been staying at Esperides regularly for over 30 years and loved every minute of it. The accommodation is of basic traditional Cretan style, very clean with maid service every day. It is a family run complex and they will make you feel very welcome. Across the road from the complex is the sports bar which is also owned... More

My family and I have stayed at the Esperides in May/June for many years. Ideally situated on the edge of the beautiful Cretan village of Koutoulafari, we receive the same friendly welcome and great service from the lovely Markakis family every year- part of the reason we return. We have visited Esperides with 2 different families who have enjoyed themselves... More
