Akti Rooms - Xerokambos
OUR REVIEW Akti Rooms is one of very few buildings on the largest and finest of Xerokambos' two sandy beaches. You walk a few metres from your room to the beach, there is nothing else on the beach, which is always totally uncrowded, often empty. Balconies (in every room) look out to sea, you can prepare simple meals, snacks and coffees in your own kitchenette. Windows are double-glazed and the standard of these recently built rooms is exceptionally high. All studios have air conditioning. Few places allow you to be in such a close position to your own beach and the beckoning sea. Xerokambos is not in any way built up, so going out for a meal or a coffee or a drink provides the choice of one of Xerokambos' several tavernas, one about 300 m away, others up to 2 km. Often each taverna will specialize on any given night so that one may be grilling lamb, the other mainly chicken and so on. The quality of food we've found to be very good. 200 m away is a mini-market which is well stocked with many food and basic essential items. The area has many caves, the splendid
neighbouring bay making a magical picnic place. A better place to spend time right by the sea, in peaceful surroundings and dramatic mountain backdrop, is hard to imagine. It may be that all you need here are a book and suntan lotion (though something to wear while swimming or visiting tavernas may be useful!).

We have just returned from our week at Xerokambos staying at the Akti Appartments . We have had the most wonderful week and the accommodation was of a really good standard , we were delighted and Eleftheria is such a lovely lady and made us so welcome we were quite sad to say goodbye .
Thanks so much for arranging the studio for us, we hope to return again next year ! That part of Crete is just stunning and we are truly hooked.
Best wishes to you, Janet and Steve Murphy. Xerocambos and the Akti Rooms were great. It was what I hoped to expect there in this corner of Crete. I ignored your advise to rent a car in advance and took a taxi. Down there most things (shop and restaurants and beaches) are in walking distance (10 till 20 minutes) and just to have a car there for this would not be important for me. Thanks for your advice. If you have a suggestion of a similar place like this in Crete I would like to hear it. Kind regards, Jos van der Palen Xerokampos was all that we could have wished for. It was well off the beaten track- we enjoyed the solitude. The accommodation was ok. Geoffrey Linton Akti rooms were excellent and we will be revisiting them next year. Roger Payne Just a quick email to thank you for booking us such a nice apartment in a superb location. We thoroughly enjoyed it! The accommodation was superb - especially the location. Copyright CreteTravel.com - protected One minor criticism about the accommodation: the solar panels installed for hot water supply (one per bock of apartments) were insufficient and the hot water only available late afternoon - larger panels or more of them would alleviate this problem.Guido Doyer Akti Rooms simply blew us away!! We loved every second of our stay there, despite the very high winds that week that made it difficult to enjoy the beach. Loved it loved it loved it. Victoria von Hessert We also really appreciated Akti Studios. Everything was really perfect: nice location in front of the sea, clean, spacious and well furnished rooms and above all the friendly hospitality of the owners that were always ready to provide suggestions and to answer to our requests. I can't really imagine any suggestion for improvements! Dario Colombo Everything worked out fine and we had a wonderful week. thanks again, without your website, we wouldn't have found "akti" at xerokambos and its great atmosphere!
