"You may sleep listening to the sea. Very peaceful, with such nice owners. The owner helps you to get to know everything for an authentic Cretan experience. Next time I will choose Zorba's again. I really recommend it!"

"The owner was extraordinarily friendly. He helped me plan my onward hiking trip, organised accommodation for the next night and even checked I'd arrived safely. The rooms are clean and offer everything you need."

"A wonderful place and a wonderful host. A very comfortable room in a quiet small village by the sea, surrounded by beautiful nature."

"I was born and grew up in the village of Agia Roumeli. After some years in Athens I returned to Crete, and I've spent the past 30 years running guest houses and small hotels here. It's my great pleasure to host you at Zorbas Studios, to share the history of Samaria with you, and to make your stay easy. Wishing you unique and unforgettable memories from your holiday in Agia Roumeli."
