Vista Mare 1 - double room by the sea, Koutsourás

Vista Mare 1 is a double room by the sea in Koutsourás, Greece, set along Eparchiaki Odos Koutsouras–Stavrochoriou for an easy base between village life and the shoreline. The standout here is the terrace, where you can sit outside with outdoor furniture and take in the coastal atmosphere. Inside, the room is non-smoking and equipped with air conditioning, which helps when the Crete sun gets warm. You also get private check-in/check-out, so arrivals and departures feel straightforward and unhurried.

This is a small, focused stay that suits couples looking for privacy and quiet downtime, rather than a busy resort setup. Guest feedback is limited but positive overall, with an 8/10 score from 4 reviews; travelers commonly mention the calm feel and the practical comfort of the room. Some guests also appreciate the on-site approach to health and cleanliness, including cleaning standards effective against Coronavirus, plus staff adherence to local safety protocols.

For days out, plan around the nearby beaches: Koutsoura Beach is about 1 km away for a quick swim, while Kalamokanias Beach is roughly 3 km for a change of scenery. If you want history with your sea time, the Minoan Palace of Zakros is around 25 km from Koutsourás. Between beach walks and short drives, the area works well for slow exploration.
