The location was lovely, out of the most touristy part of Sougia but close enough to quickly drive down for a meal or to buy supplies. We were hiking the Agia Irini Gorge and it was very conventient for that.

I had a pleasant two-night stay, the host was very friendly and kind. She provided a lot of information to us about hiking in the area. The place is very quiet.

We were blown away by how modern and clean the place was. We were expecting a small older bed and breakfast but each suite was more like a full apartment! We stayed in the Minos suite which was two levels. The windows were very well designed and offered multiple ways to open to the outside. The owner was very nice and the check in and check out process was very quick and easy. 10/10 would stay here again if we decide to hike the entirety of the Samaria Gorge one day.
A very scenic drive from Chania, especially via the Omalas...
A very scenic drive from Chania, especially via the Omalas route, (slightly longer but worth it). The town is tiny. 200 or so residents, but still manages some excellent restaurants. There is good walking, particularly the popular trail - one and half hours - westwards to the archaeological site at Lissos. Alternatively, one can arrange a boat to Lissos, for a few euros, either one way or return. At 0830 a longer boat ride can be arranged eastwards along the scenic south coast. Evening beach walks at Sougia are also nice. For a more strenuous trek one might wish to visit the Agia Irini Gorge. The entrance is signposted directly next to the road 4.5km north of Sougia, with parking. It is far less crowned than neighbouring Samaria. Some 7km long it takes about three hours to walk.

It was very quiet as it is November, so end of the tourist season, but nice. The weather is still perfectly fine to go to the beach, there are still some restaurants and bars open. It's a nice little quiet place to go hike or stay on the beach without the crowds of Chania or Heraklion.

Sougia is a small village at the mouth of Agia Irini gorge,...
Sougia is a small village at the mouth of Agia Irini gorge, approximately 1.5hrs drive from Chania airport (we rented a car) It has a couple of mini markets and a couple of gift shops but the main street hosts mainly tavernas. The beach is a pebble beach with crystal clear water. You have access to bus,ferry and taxi services allowing you to explore the surrounding area. We have stayed in Sougia 4 times and we love the tranquility and beautiful mountainscape.

Very relaxing, chilled, and out of the way of the city...
Very relaxing, chilled, and out of the way of the city hustle. Quite the feeling of hippie lifestyle, with relaxed attitude towards nudists. The beach has both areas for people who enjoy to swim with swimwear, and without. There are several tents around the far end of the beach, and the atmosphere in bars and restaurants is relaxed.
Great place for walkers as well as those who just want to enjoy the peace and quiet. Daily ferry service, and one bus service.
I stayed in Lissos rooms which was lovely and quiet, and ate in Livikon which had excellent grilled king prawns, and the fabulous lamb and beans dish

What a place.
What a place. Only one hour walk (or 7 minute taxi ride costing only 10 euro) to reach Sougia from the monastery estate guesthouse.
Locals were friendly and took the time to chat to you about your travel plans / share local knowledge. The food in every taverna we ate in was high quality fresh local produce and the prices very reasonable. Could pass an entire day on the sunloungers, listening to the sea then going for some Greek food, then watching sunset. Also Lissos is nearby - we didn't manage to visit but we took a boat trip to palaiochora beach which was lovely. Didn't beat Sougia though!

Strategically a great place for the Samaria and Irini Gorges...
Strategically a great place for the Samaria and Irini Gorges. We self catered so didn’t go into town other than to the mini markets where you can buy everything. The ferry to Agia Roumelli and Paelochora go from here too.
the smiles of the staff, especially the cleaning lady who was always happy to help. The room nicely appointed although small many shelves for storing stuff and several sockets for charging, reading lights an extra plus. Location in the very center of sougia but there was no noise from the surroundings. I especially liked the shady little corner in the patio, perfect for having a coffee or breakfast. The ground floor rooms on the back side looked lovely, with overhanging grape vines shading their patios. Overall lovely.
The location is set back into the hills above Sougia which was very pleasant. Has a lovely view over looking the hills.
The house is well set up for cooking etc. 
It’s located about 10 minute drive to the beach , great swimming, a section of the beach is for nudists though. Easy parking at beach.
there is plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from. However, we’d recommend the Taverna across the road as the food we have was great.
Wanda is lovely, was kinda enough to leave us a treat, some wine, good coffee.
To Spiti mas is a completely renovated traditional house in a quiet village in a perfect location for people who are looking for authentic places close to nature.
The food in the area is great and locally sourced. Very conveniently just across the street is a very nice family taverna and only 10 min driving away is Sougia from where you can take shuttle boats to other beaches, or buses to the Samaria and Agia Irini gorges.
The hosts are very kind and helpful, and we were overall very happy with our choice.
The host Chris was always available and offered excellent advice and updates, the room spacious with a corner kitchen facility that was small but functional, closets however are needed. The title given to Galini " studio and apartment " is a misnomer. It would be more accurate to call this a good size hotel room. The hospitality of this place is the major strength and Sougia a lovely village.
The apartment was super, very easy to find and access with good parking, very clean with everything needed and comfortable bed and great shower. Ideally positioned to enjoy Sougia, boat trips and all the nearby walking and swimming. Great shops and Tavernas in Sougia also. Very helpful host with good communication before and when needed.
Galini was the first hotel as one enters Sougia by car, and we were able to check in immediately to the rooms we had booked. Quiet and well-kept hotel. Comfortable rooms. Helpful property manager. While it may be the furthest hotel from the beach, Sougia is small and the walk to the water is 5 minutes. Can't go wrong here. Easy parking.
Conveniently located but quiet. A very small well run family owned hotel a block off the beach. Helene also owns the small convenience store next door, great for ice, wine or what have you. We stayed in the top floor apartment with the loft bedroom. The apartment has everything you’ll need for a couple of nights or a couple of weeks.
The owner is very friendly which makes a huge difference when travelling alone! She was happy to keep my bag for a day while I did a round walk as well which my knees are grateful for. Room was spacious and comfortable and air conditioning easy to use. It's looking out to sea and close to everything in Sougia.
Location was key to catching ferry to and from Sameria Gorge. By staying in Sougia we didn't have to arrive early or more importantly drive back in the dark after the hike. Although it was the end of the season we received excellent service and enjoyed our balconies room during the full moon.
Beautiful room and outstanding bathroom, both very big! Great location just far away enough from the main area so that it is peaceful and quiet. Yet a super close and easy walk to everything. I rate this property as a 10 and we would book this accommodation if we visit again in the future.
Comfortable, clean, just renovated apartment. Surprised by the view from the shadowed balcony: a lot of sea to be seen. Although a few hundred meters from the beach, we could hear the sea at night. And the little village of Sougia where the road ends, is a lovely place to stay.
The Syia Hotel is a lovely place to stay while visiting Sougia. Marcos went out of his way to make certain that we had everything we needed, and his hospitality couldn’t have been better! The studio is spacious, clean and very quietly located just off the beaten track.
lovely studio and warm welcoming people. very well appointed with everything we needed. we were about 150 metres from the sea and Sougia has great places to eat amd drink. a very chilled and relaxed place to stay. Parking on site
we will stay in these studios again
The staff were so helpful and really welcoming. They gave us lots of advice on places to eat and things to do in the area. The breakfast was really delicious. The room was really clean and comfortable. We loved Sougia beach which is close by.
We really liked the location of the hotel, which gives great privacy and calmness. The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The staff was super friendly and kind, and always available to help and accommodate us.
Very friendly host, comfy rooms and a nice garden. Restaurants, bus stop are all very close by. We loved Sougia which is laid back and has all you need to slow down in a quiet atmosphere.
We had a lovely stay here. The hosts were very helpful and the hotel is just a few minutes from the beach, a shop and some nice restaurants. Facilities for cooking are also good.
very clean and good facilities. 2 min walk to the beach past our 2 favourite restaurants.
the star of the show is Marcos, the hotel nicest manager in Crete!
