Evergreen, Amari

Evergreen is a calm base in Amari, Crete, set in Patsos Village at the edge of the countryside where daily life slows down. This is a good fit for families and pet owners who want space to breathe, along with practical comforts like free WiFi and a terrace for quiet mornings. Guests also mention spending time outdoors, taking advantage of the garden setting and the outdoor pool area with sun loungers and umbrellas. The property’s fully fenced grounds add peace of mind for travelers bringing pets, and the wheelchair-accessible setup helps make movement around the stay more straightforward for guests with mobility needs.

Reviewers commonly describe Evergreen as more about atmosphere than fuss: people appreciate the straightforward layout, the ability to settle in and relax, and the way the surrounding area invites short trips rather than nonstop sightseeing. For day plans, St. Anthony Patsou Gorge is about 10 km away for nature walks through dramatic scenery, while the Spili Monastery is roughly 5 km from the property if you want a cultural stop close to your base. Spili’s Old Quarter is around 14 km out for a change of pace, with streets that feel distinctly Cretan.

If you’re traveling with children, the hotel’s children-friendly policy is a plus, and the outdoor spaces make it easier to keep everyone comfortable between excursions. With pets allowed and outdoor seating available, many guests say the stay works well for longer, slower itineraries—especially when you want to combine countryside time with a few nearby landmarks.
