Set within a verdurous olive grove in the traditional settlement of Agathias, Sirines apartments is a traditional complex of self-catered units with large verandas. It is 900 meters from the well-known beach of Hiona. The spacious apartments are fitted with quality furnishings and equipped with heating and air conditioning. Each offers a fully equipped kitchen with fridge, oven and coffee maker and a living room with two sofas that can convert to extra beds. The Sirines has an ideal location for hiking, trekking and walking. Monasteries and pleasant paths surround the hotel, while the famous Vai beach is reached after 4.3 miles. Private parking is provided on site.

Crete. As well as the magnificent beaches and warm seas, the size and physical variety of the island of Crete invites exploration, and Sirines Apartments, located at Agkathias Palekastro, Lasithi, 72300, Greece, is the ideal staring point. Uniquely among Greek islands, Crete’s mountainous spine creates a sense of spaciousness, a life distinct from sea and sand. Fly-drive holidays to Crete – or simply the hire of a car for some days during your stay in Sirines Apartments, – will enable you to seek out the rugged formations of the interior, the fertile countryside and tiny chapels filled with frescoes, the mountain villages where time has stood still. Always, the authentic spirit of the islanders, their fierce independence and pride – as well as the best cooking and most delicious meals that constitute the famed “Cretan Diet” – will more likely be found where few others are looking. With so much to see, with dolphins to watch, shaded squares to paint, olive trees and wild orchids, Minoan remains and sweeping beaches, no wonder Crete holidays and Sirines Apartments are revisited so often.
