I would stay at Tharmaris year after year I have never had any complaints. The owners Iannis and his brother are more than accommodating they even took my husband for a boat ride. The accommodation is very clean the location is stunning. Granted when you try and book on line it can be difficult however it is up to the... More

The reviewer from Norway is ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! The owner cannot BE TRUSTED. We had booked one month in advance and we confirmed our reservation by phone, just 3 days before our arrival.To be honest, I was a bit suspicious that he didn't ask some money in advance (almost all hotels in Greece do) and, unfortunately, my suspicions came true, when...

This place is the worst place i have ever booked, we have travelled to crete every year without fail for over 10 years, and have never been treated so badly. This owner was rude arrogant and unfortunately.....racist also. I had brought all my friends to crete, and he would not allow us congregate in a room to plan our day,... More

I sent a booking request to Thamiris/Thamirakis where I asked if there was an apartment available and if they had internet access. I added that internet access was important to me and that I would bring my own computer. The owner replied that there was internet acess. However, when I arrived, there was no such thing as internet access in... More

The apartments are in a fantastic position beside a river with private access to the beach. I have stayed here 4 times, usually in an apartment but most recently in a studio. It is definitely worth paying a bit more for the apartments as you get a separate bedroom and two balconies with generally better views of the beach. Although... More

We also chose our room, no 6 which is at the back & has fantastic views & that was the room we got. Iannis could not have been more helpful about all things Creatian, the rooms were very clean and surprisingly for Greece we had a toaster, kettle & coffee machine. (the supermarket next to the bridge does fresh ground... More

Having been to Crete many times and Kalyves twice, we searched for an apartment specifically overlooking the beach. From the website of the Thamaris Apartments we chose Apartment No 3 on the first floor. This overlooked the small river, the gardens and the beach - just what we were looking for. We had confirmation by email that this apartment was... More

We stayed at the Thamiris for a week in May 2006. The apartments are right on the beach on the main street in Kalyves. Our apartment was on the first floor and was spacious and clean with a very large balcony and AC. It was definitely not luxurious but for £35 a night it was very good value. The ground... More
