Artemis Apartments Reviews
" lovely and friendly "
Submitted By: denmad
My husband hugh and i first went to Artemis apts in 2001 with my parents and daughter who was 12 at the time.We returned last May for 2 weeks just the 2 of us. We had a fantastic time.Lovely apts basic but clean.BBQ night on the sunday was the first one we had been to it was a great night food lovely, with karaoke after good laugh. There was a good crowd there that fornight.We returned in sept for a week.we ate nearly every night on both holidays at the Filoxenia the food was always good, i had something one night that i didnt like and they didnt charge for it.Not their fault i just didnt like it and we got free drinks as well.One other night we were there very busy and only 2 staff turned in and we got the wrong order and again we got money off and free drinks.We are returning to Artemis at the end of may this year and are looking forward to seeing Mama and Papa,Sotiris and Petros. One bar i would greatly recommend is The Anfeild bar run by Thomas and his wife Anna we have known them for 9 years but only met up with them again last year. Dont be put off by the name its not a Liverpool bar just a bar that shows quite a bit of sport ,but Thomas and Anna are very friendly and the food they serve is excellent.
Advice: very friendly
Activities: Filoxenia
Good for: Beach

" absolutley fantastic "
Submitted By: bugsey1
To Stavros, Artemis, Sotiris & Pedro. Thank you,thank you, we have just returned from a wonderful two week holiday at the Artemis Apartments. We stayed in a one bed apartment which was basic but beautifully clean & well maintained. The main pool, children's pool and bar area were excellent. The Artemis is the friendliest & most welcoming hotel I have ever had the pleasure in staying at. There was my dad & partner, myself, husband and our two young children (3yrs & 1yr), we all can't wait to go back. Gouves itself is quite but a very friendly resort, we ate in a lot of restaurants, all good but there were two I need to mention, the Backus restaurant near the old Gouves village also the Mylos restaurant, both were lovely but Mylos had the edge. The weekly BBQ night at the Artemis was so good we had to go two times absolutely fantastic, highly recommended. Thanks to all at the Artemis, not forgetting the cleaner, for a lovely holiday, see you next year Michelle & family.

" A complex of three blocks owned and... "
Submitted By: Mr J Black
A complex of three blocks owned and run by very friendly family.We were in the original block facing the pool and with a small balcony views of the sea and overlooking fields.
The apartment (2/3 persons) had small separate double bedroom and single bed in the main area and bathroom. The cooking facilities, like most greek apartments, are spartan (don't forget your tin/bottle opener) - but there is an electric kettle!! Air conditioning cost 70 euros for 2 weeks. Very clean overall but could do with some updating.
The pool and surroundings are exeptional. Plenty of sunbeds. a tiled pool with separated childrens area and pleasant poolside bar which serves drinks and snacks at local prices. Owners provide weekly BBQ with greek dancing. Although we didn't take part (not being groupie people) looked, from the amount of food being prepared, very good value - 15 euros (10 for children) including wine.
Gouves (Kato Gouves) is a pleasant quiet resort with a paved seafront that stretches for a couple of miles. Main shopping and tavernas about 20 mins walk from Artemis. which is situated at one end of the resort with a few tavernas and couple supermarkets and car hire places nearby. There is also an abandoned US military base (home of the Crete aquarium which is worth a visit) just up the road.
Being only 15/20 minutes drive from Heraklion Airport there is some aircraft noise, planes pass over every few minutes at some times of the day. but this didn't bother us.

" 2007 saw us return to the Artemis to... "
Submitted By: Mrs M Stockman
2007 saw us return to the Artemis to be greated once again by the family who never forget you! Our eldest son came with us this year and he said it was everything we had made it out to be. The Artemis are run by a wonderful family who will go out of their way to make your time there fantastic. The rooms are kept really clean and the pool is fantastic.
We meet up with other families from the UK. This year will see us returning, can't wait. The only complaint is the flight times that have been changed this year and we will be arriving and leaving in the early hours of the morning but this is not the fault of the family it is due to the fact that Thomas Cook have taken over Airtours.
Our thanks to Mama, Papa, Sotiris and Pedro who is a family friend.

" My family and friends went for 2... "
Submitted By: Miss K Mcgrath
My family and friends went for 2 weeks, there was 24 of us that went and we found it very injoyable and friendly they was always there to help and made our stay very welcome. It was my 2nd time to Artimis Apartments and I know it will not be my last. It wasn't just Artemis Apartments that made our stay wonderful it was the whole island, the beaches are lovely and the people are so nice.
We went on to main street which where all the restarants and bars are, there is a bar called O'Conners which is an Irish bar its nice and you can drink beers from back home like fosters and guiness, if your not feeling adventurse to try the local beers. There is a great deal of reastrants there too from italian, chinese and local dishes even a kabab if you fancy at the end of the night! The bars have changed both times I've been there, seems to be something different the second time I went. Theres family bars and music bars and shops all together so if you have had enought of music you can do a bit of shopping as well.
There is a very nice harbour there with lovely boats to look at as well as a light house and you can even join the locals in a spot of fishing. If you like water parks theres a coach which picks you up from the hotel then after you have explored the local area you can go back for a nice quite drink with candle lit tables by the pool, also at Artemis Apartments they have a bbq and kareoke for a bit of fun.

" This was the second time we had been... "
Submitted By: Miss S Cowing
This was the second time we had been to the Artemis and we weren't disappointed. Family run this is probably the most friendly place I have ever been. The apartments are clean, the pool is wonderful and the food and entertainment are fantastic. In fact I almost feel like not writing this review in case too many people discover what a great place it is and we can't get in there next year.
If you want a non rowdy, fun holiday especially if you are a family than this is the place to go.

Me and my family had a lovely time at the Artemis again, we are going back next year.
This will be are third time there. Sotiris and his family are lovely people, they make your holiday very enjoyable. The BBQ night is not to be missed you will be talking about it to your family and friends.
The beach is only a short walk away, and Gouves town centre is only 10 minutes away. The apartments are very clean and spacious, and the beds are very comfortable.
This is a real value for money holiday and you would not be disappointed.

I agree with the other comments about the Artemis Apartments.
Cleaned regularly and the family who run the place are very friendly and helpful.
Beach is gorgeous and just a short walk. Tons of restaurants to choose from. Went with four friends and had a ball!
We had a tremendous time at the BBQ night and made friends with just about all the other guests.
In fact, it is so good; we are all going back on 8th May this year. Can't wait!

" I spent a wonderful summer holiday at... "
Submitted By: Miss J Armsrong
I spent a wonderful summer holiday at these apartments last year. The apartments are family run which made it a relaxed atmosphere as they were extremely approachable and welcoming.
It felt like you were part of the family. The rooms were spotless, spacious and cleaned regularly. During our stay we attended a bbq and participated in some traditional Greek dancing.
I would recommend these apartments to both couples and families as there is plenty to do in the surrounding area. The apartments are about a 5 minute walk from the beach and close to other amenities.
