House Margot  

Tucked in Palekastro on Crete’s wild eastern coast, House Margot sits away from big tourist centres yet minutes from Kouremenos Beach, Vai Palm Grove and Toplou Monastery. Sitia town and Sitia airport are about 17–19 km away, making this guesthouse a chilled base for beach and gorge day trips.

This small, family-run guesthouse offers eight cosy rooms with private balconies or verandas, in-room refrigerators and new orthopedic beds. Expect simple, clean décor, shared kitchen access, ensuite showers with hair dryers and a garden with trees and flowers—family-friendly and low-key.

Complimentary WiFi, free self-parking and a handy bus stop right outside keep logistics easy. Extras include laundry and ironing (for a charge), transfer and low-cost car-rental options for guests, organized excursions, and a communal kitchen—perfect for wake-up coffee and sea-breeze mornings.

Complimentary wireless internet, luggage storage and a common-area coffee/tea spot; free on-site parking makes short work of group travel logistics.

Continental breakfast is available for a small extra fee and a local restaurant operates nearby in season. Guests can use the shared kitchen and sample native Cretan products from the family—extra virgin olive oil, raki and thyme honey—for authentic regional flavor.
