Folia Studios Apts

Folia Apartments sits in an elevated position above Agia Marina on the Greek island of Crete, with views out towards the Aegean Sea. As it's set in quiet surroundings on the outskirts of the resort, you can enjoy a peaceful setting yet still be a short stroll from the shops and bars. The beach at Agia Marina is also a short walk from the hotel. Here, you can relax on its sandy bay and paddle in its shallow waters. Set among olive trees and vibrantly coloured bougainvillea, this whitewashed apartment hotel has a pool area at its centre. Its restaurant, which is set over two floors, looks over the pool area and has a pergola-style seating area upstairs. Here, you can try traditional Cretan cuisine. Inside, the rooms have Greek-style dÈcor with stone floors and white walls. You'll have your own balcony or terrace, where you can take in views of the surrounding area. You can spend the evenings at the hotel's poolside bar, which opens until late. If you'd like to enjoy meals or drinks with a sea view, you can head down the hill to the seafront tavernas and bars. For a wider selection of restaurants and bars, you can go Chania Town.

The hotel is 300m from the centre of Agia Marina and 350m from the beach, which extends for 2.5km. It connects to Platanias Beach and town, which offers a bustling atmosphere with its strip of bars. If you're interested in seeing some of the island's more traditional settings, you can head to Pano Agia Marina Village, just above the beach resort. Here, you can try authentic Greek dishes in its tavernas. A short drive will take you to the ancient ruins at Aptera. Here, you can see Roman cisterns, bath houses and an excavated theatre. The lively resort of Chania Town is 9km away.

The hotel restaurant is open for breakfast and lunch every day. If you'd prefer to prepare and cook your own meals, you can do so in your apartment. For provisions, the nearest supermarket is 50m away from the hotel.

The beach's clear waters are suitable for snorkelling. If you're a keen hiker, walks up into the hills of Pano Agia Marina have rewarding views.
