Petradi Beach Lounge Hotel

Beautiful small hotel and lovely staff By the roadside we had a sea view which was lovely rooms at the back can hear the traffic Enough beds for guests not always enough space outside for breakfast though Pebbly beach so take beach shoes Location great to walk into the old town Can walk this in 15 mins Hundreds of shops bars restaurants so we visited every evening and got a taxi back for about 6 euros 2 hour transfer from heraklion airport Great location for trips as pretty much 2 hours from heraklion and 2 hours from balos beach and elefanissi beach Which were stunning Few restaurants a bit further down from hotel also Breakfast at hotel basic but sufficient Lunch ok not much choice but large portions Small cove just down from hotel 2 minute walk no sun loungers but nice and peaceful if you take towel to lay on the sand Crete is Beautiful stunning place with the scenery and the trip to balis and elafanissi beach is advised Take walking shoes as you have to walk from thd coach to the beach down a mountain Rude through the mountains on the coach is stunning Overall great experience and i have been all over the world One last thing take extra hangers as not much storage but manageable and wasnt a problem No kettle facility but we took a travel kettle and bought a greek mug Fridge in room and also a shop few doors down and also a coffee shop next door Bus tickets can be purchased from coffee shop and cost 1 euro to the old town each way Be mindful there is a scenic bus number 20 which is the coast road and passes the hotels however there is also a national bus which doesnt lass all hotels. We realised this as a cost of 35 euros after getting the wrong bus and got off in the middle of nowhere and had to get a taxi back
