Family-run Zorbas Studios sits right on the beachfront, about two metres from the sea — in the heart of Agia Roumeli. Choose a sea-view or village-view studio, or the one-bedroom apartment for families. Every room is clean, simple and friendly, with free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and a balcony.
Studios that look straight out over the Libyan Sea. By night, the full moon over Gavdos, the waves the only sound, and not a streetlight to be seen.
Newly built studios looking over the village to the mountains and the mouth of the gorge. Every bit as clean and comfortable, at a kinder price.
An entire 22 m² apartment: a separate bedroom with two single beds and a living room with two sofa beds, room for up to four, with a private kitchen and bathroom.
Beachfront · Free Wi-Fi · Air conditioning · Family rooms · Non-smoking throughout
Good to know: no parking (the village has no cars), upper floors by stairs only, invoice provided, languages spoken and Greek & English.

"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 lovely host with great knowledge of the area, happy to chat and take an interest in his guests. The room was simple but very clean, the beds comfy and the aircon good, a convenient location."
"Joseph and his wife are so helpful, always in the shop downstairs if you need anything. He gave me great advice for the rest of my trip."
"Perfect location in town beside the beach, with a great restaurant next door and a sea view. Very quiet, clean and comfortable. The owner is extremely kind, generous and knowledgeable. Wonderful!"
"I've never been so well taken care of by a hotel in my life. The staff contacted us on our hike to help us avoid heatstroke, checking in along the way."
"The host was very helpful and hospitable, and the rooms and bathroom were spotless."
"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."
