Couldn't be better. The Palace apartments are clean, modern and George has thought of everything. The view from all the apartments is fantastic, over to the bay, with the minoan palace and gorge. Take a car to the top of the gorge, walk down (2 hours) have a drink at the taverna and ask the owner to arrange a taxi or George will ferry you back for your car. In the minoan palace ruins are terrapins, a native species. The bay has 5 tavernas in high season, 3 open in October when we were there. This is a peaceful place, no shops, no entertainment, so take a book and games. We hope to go back.

All rooms are facing the gorge and the Kato Zakros beach and thus have a great view. The rooms are rather simple but clean and have all the amenities required (refrigerator, kitchenette, AC, TV, coffee machine, etc). Each room has a spacious veranda where you can sit and enjoy the view. The owners are very hospitable and do their best to make sure you enjoy your holiday, providing helpful tips for things to do and places to visit.
All in all a peaceful place for relaxing.

We had visited Kato Zakros Palace 5 times within 3 years! It is peaceful there, the rooms are modern, simply and very clean and of course the hospitality from George and Charoula is simply Perfect! The view to the Gorge, to the Palace, to the small Village and to the Beach is beautiful and romantic! It is only 10 minutes to the main village of Zakros, where you can buy some things from the small Markets and about 40 minutes from Siteia (the road is much better now)! We will see you soon again, George and Charoula! Cheers...

We planned to stay 2 or 3 days - we stayed 2 weeks and we really enjoyed the atmosphere: A nice room with every comfort , a wonderful view from the terrasse, and last not but least friendly hours with George, Charoula and the mystery of Kato Zagros. We surely come back to Kato Zagros Palace! We have visite this place at first in the year 1974 and every year untill 1984, nothing have changed after 28 years! Nearly nothing? In those times there was no electricity, but one telefoneconnection to Zakros from the Kafenion "Anesis"of Kostas and Maria Spetsotakis. At that times Kato Zakros had the most beautifull "stares haven" " in the world" at night, but now ist gone, because the lillumination of the streetlaterns are too strong, to see the millions of stars.
