Joanna Apartments, Mylopotamos

Joanna Apartments is a practical, pet-friendly base in Mylopotamos, Crete, set in the Bali, Mylopotamos area at 74054. With check-in from 2:00 PM and check-out at 12:00 PM, it suits travelers who want a straightforward schedule and time to explore the coast. The standout for many guests is the simple comfort paired with free WiFi, so it’s easier to plan day trips or keep in touch while you’re away from home. The rooftop terrace gives you a place to slow down after a beach walk, and the designated smoking area helps keep shared spaces more comfortable for non-smokers.

Location matters here: Varkotopos Beach is about 1 km away, making it easy to fit in an early swim or an evening stroll without long drives. For a change of pace, Melidoni Cave is roughly 10 km from the apartments, and Rethymno Old Town sits about 25 km away for Venetian streets, waterfront views, and a fuller dining scene.

Guest feedback is modest but positive, with an overall rating of 7.8/10 from five reviews. That suggests a stay that works well for certain expectations rather than a one-size-fits-all experience. People who value practical self-catering-style stays and the ability to travel with pets tend to mention the appeal of the policy, while others appreciate the quiet rhythm of the Mylopotamos/Bali area compared with busier resort strips. If you’re planning scuba diving nearby, this is also a convenient starting point for getting out on the water.
