Accommodation

In the countryside

Tourist accommodation is inspected, graded and price-regulated by the Ministry of Tourism. Proprietors are permitted to drop a price grade at their discretion; there is certainly a better chance of this during non-busy periods. Discounts for large groups may be offered. In 2014, rooms in the countryside ranged from €20 (for very simple rooms) to €50. For latest details visit village or regional websites, or those of individual establishments (see Appendix D).

All the walking areas featured in this guide offer family-run rooming houses (‘Rooms’) or hotels (or both) with hot water, so long as sunshine heats rooftop solar panels. If it does not, hot water supplies will sustain for one further day (depending on demand). Certain hotels, such as those that are open in the winter, are equipped to switch to alternative power if rain sets in for several days.

Note that while much of the following information applies to the Cretan countryside as a whole, please also see relevant chapters for notes specific to Mount Ida and Lassithi.
