The hotel has made excellent use of every little bit of space. Gardens provide privacy and cool spaces. Some fascinating sculptures add to the uniqueness and atmosphere.

Giorgos and María made us feel home during our stay. Homemade food in the taberna and very clean and confortable rooms with the best views of Agua Roumeli. Definetly we will come back.

A very scenic drive from Chania, especially via the Omalas route, (slightly longer but worth it). The town is tiny. 200 or so residents, but still manages some excellent restaurants. There is good walking, particularly the popular trail - one and half hours - westwards to the archaeological site at Lissos. Alternatively, one can arrange a boat to Lissos, for a few euros, either one way or return. At 0830 a longer boat ride can be arranged eastwards along the scenic south coast. Evening beach walks at Sougia are also nice. For a more strenuous trek one might wish to visit the Agia Irini Gorge. The entrance is signposted directly next to the road 4.5km north of Sougia, with parking. It is far less crowned than neighbouring Samaria. Some 7km long it takes about three hours to walk.

It was very quiet as it is November, so end of the tourist season, but nice. The weather is still perfectly fine to go to the beach, there are still some restaurants and bars open. It's a nice little quiet place to go hike or stay on the beach without the crowds of Chania or Heraklion.

Sougia is a small village at the mouth of Agia Irini gorge,...
Sougia is a small village at the mouth of Agia Irini gorge, approximately 1.5hrs drive from Chania airport (we rented a car) It has a couple of mini markets and a couple of gift shops but the main street hosts mainly tavernas. The beach is a pebble beach with crystal clear water. You have access to bus,ferry and taxi services allowing you to explore the surrounding area. We have stayed in Sougia 4 times and we love the tranquility and beautiful mountainscape.

Very relaxing, chilled, and out of the way of the city hustle. Quite the feeling of hippie lifestyle, with relaxed attitude towards nudists. The beach has both areas for people who enjoy to swim with swimwear, and without. There are several tents around the far end of the beach, and the atmosphere in bars and restaurants is relaxed.
Great place for walkers as well as those who just want to enjoy the peace and quiet. Daily ferry service, and one bus service.
I stayed in Lissos rooms which was lovely and quiet, and ate in Livikon which had excellent grilled king prawns, and the fabulous lamb and beans dish

What a place.
What a place. Only one hour walk (or 7 minute taxi ride costing only 10 euro) to reach Sougia from the monastery estate guesthouse.
Locals were friendly and took the time to chat to you about your travel plans / share local knowledge. The food in every taverna we ate in was high quality fresh local produce and the prices very reasonable. Could pass an entire day on the sunloungers, listening to the sea then going for some Greek food, then watching sunset. Also Lissos is nearby - we didn't manage to visit but we took a boat trip to palaiochora beach which was lovely. Didn't beat Sougia though!

Strategically a great place for the Samaria and Irini Gorges...
Strategically a great place for the Samaria and Irini Gorges. We self catered so didn’t go into town other than to the mini markets where you can buy everything. The ferry to Agia Roumelli and Paelochora go from here too.
A beautiful sanctuary in the tranquil heart of wild Cretan countryside. Exceptional and gracious service from the staff makes you feel special from the moment you arrive. Amazing views from the lovely studio apartment (we had one of the ‘older’ ones so imagine the new suites are even more special)
On site restaurant served wonderful food, and a short walk behind the hotel through the abandoned village is an amazing village taverna with spectacular views (do not miss this!)
Excellent location for the incredible local gorge walks.
To Spiti mas is a completely renovated traditional house in a quiet village in a perfect location for people who are looking for authentic places close to nature.
The food in the area is great and locally sourced. Very conveniently just across the street is a very nice family taverna and only 10 min driving away is Sougia from where you can take shuttle boats to other beaches, or buses to the Samaria and Agia Irini gorges.
The hosts are very kind and helpful, and we were overall very happy with our choice.
A big, stylish room. Spacious bathroom with shower. Balcony with table and chairs. Seemed to be well equipped for those self catering, which we weren't. Welcome cake, wine and biscuits in room. Joanna very attentive host. Questions regarding local transport prior to stay had been answered and suggestions made. All very helpful. Ideomeneas Apartments were easy to find on arrival in Sougia. Perfect for a stay before and after walking down Samaria Gorge.
Nice helpful staff, great location on the beach, close to bus stop, small food stores and restaurants. Clean large rooms included small kitchen.
I had to leave a day early because bus service s were being cut back for winter season (not the hotels fault). Also Park with big gorge hike closed, but I enjoyed the local gorge hike using convenient bus drop off at top of gorge.
A nice place to stay in Sougia. Parking is a short walk down the street. The host was extremely friendly and helpful, making sure we had a place to sit on the beach, and recommending a restaurant a minute's walk away (which turned out to be excellent). He also gave good advice on hiking Irene Gorge and to Lissos. I'd happily stay here again.
Galini was the first hotel as one enters Sougia by car, and we were able to check in immediately to the rooms we had booked. Quiet and well-kept hotel. Comfortable rooms. Helpful property manager. While it may be the furthest hotel from the beach, Sougia is small and the walk to the water is 5 minutes. Can't go wrong here. Easy parking.
Conveniently located but quiet. A very small well run family owned hotel a block off the beach. Helene also owns the small convenience store next door, great for ice, wine or what have you. We stayed in the top floor apartment with the loft bedroom. The apartment has everything you’ll need for a couple of nights or a couple of weeks.
The owner is very friendly which makes a huge difference when travelling alone! She was happy to keep my bag for a day while I did a round walk as well which my knees are grateful for. Room was spacious and comfortable and air conditioning easy to use. It's looking out to sea and close to everything in Sougia.
The hotel is newly renovated and gives high comfort. I really enjoyed the big comfortable bed and the sea view from my balcony. Its a quiet place with friendly people around. Many thanks to Ilona who was always available when I needed sth. I can totally recommend this place. You will enjoy your stay for sure.
Quiet and comfortable apartment with a great view to the surrounding mountains. Hosts are friendly and helpful. Perfect location to wind down und start exploring Sougia and the nearby nature attractions. Good and functional equipment for self-catering.
Fell in love with the stray cats wandering around.
Beautiful room and outstanding bathroom, both very big! Great location just far away enough from the main area so that it is peaceful and quiet. Yet a super close and easy walk to everything. I rate this property as a 10 and we would book this accommodation if we visit again in the future.
Loved the room and the hotel, Markos also did a great job in suggesting hikes and activities in the area. Super clean and central, ac works fine and very calm, perfect to rest in all comfort. Would definitely come back. (Bonus point for the raki and the sweets we found as welcome package)
The Syia Hotel is a lovely place to stay while visiting Sougia. Marcos went out of his way to make certain that we had everything we needed, and his hospitality couldn’t have been better! The studio is spacious, clean and very quietly located just off the beaten track.
lovely studio and warm welcoming people. very well appointed with everything we needed. we were about 150 metres from the sea and Sougia has great places to eat amd drink. a very chilled and relaxed place to stay. Parking on site
we will stay in these studios again
This was a great place to stay for our trip to Sougia and Samaria Gorge. The apartment was spacious, super clean and well equipped. George and Eva were available to deal with any questions and made us feel very welcome.
We had a very good time at the hotel. We slept very well, we enjoyed the sauna and the outdoor bath. Everyone is so kind and always happy to help. We enjoyed it A LOT
Super helpful staff! Lovely natural esthetics and room with private pool was perfect after hiking Samaria Gorge. Local taverna just above the hotel was fantastic!
It was a clean, comfortable room, in easy walking distance of everywhere in Sougia. Jason was always kind and more than helpful. We would stay there again.
