River Side Hotel, Apokoronas

River Side Hotel in Georgioupolis, Apokoronas, Crete, is a small, calm base for travelers who want a quieter rhythm while staying close to the coast. The property sits in the Georgioupolis area at Georgioupolis, Apokoronas, Crete 730 07, and the garden setting is a big part of the appeal, especially in the late afternoon when you want a peaceful place to unwind. Guests consistently highlight the breakfast as a strong start to the day, with a free buffet breakfast and the convenience of free Wi‑Fi for planning routes.

With only a few recent reviews (a 9.6/10 guest rating from three reviews), the feedback reads personal rather than generic. One common theme is how straightforward the stay feels: travelers mention that the hotel is easy to live out of, and that the staff are responsive when requests come up. If you’re traveling with mobility needs, the hotel is wheelchair accessible, and there’s an accessible shuttle listed as available, though the front desk has limited hours, so it’s worth planning around that.

For day trips, you can keep things simple. Georgioupolis Beach is about 1 km away for quick swims and sunrise walks, while Lake Kournas is roughly 5 km for a freshwater break from the sea. Episkopi Beach is around 7 km for another stretch of sand, and the nearby Kalyváki coastline area is about 2 km for coastal strolls.

River Side Hotel is best for couples, solo explorers, and anyone who prefers a low-key stay with reliable breakfast and a garden-focused atmosphere rather than a busy, nightlife-centered setting.
