Ourania ApartmentsGouves, Crete

There's a lot to be said for a small, peaceful hotel. If you're looking to really chill out, you won't get much peace at a bustling mega hotel. So that's where the Ourania Apartments come in. You won't find a huge resort packed with guests, but that's its charm. What you do get is pin-drop peace and quiet, along with a bit of good old fashioned Greek hospitality.

And what better way to enjoy the calm surroundings than from the comfort of a lounger? The sun terrace is dotted with sunbeds and parasols, so there's no need to put your towels down before sunrise. And if you follow the sound of ice cubes clinking into a glass, you'll find the handy pool bar.

Inside, you'll find a few bits and bobs to keep you entertained. There's a pool table where you can show off your skills with a cue. Plenty of video games for the kids. And internet access should you want to send a speedy e-postcard home.

If you fancy exploring the local area, there's no need to wait for a bus or order a taxi. The shops, bars and restaurants are only a few minute's walk away. And if you fancy a day of sun, sea and sand, the beach is only five minutes walk, too. If ever there were apartments that prove less certainly is more – here they are.
