Conveniently located on the edge of the historical seaside village of Maleme, this attractive, family-run holiday lodge is a fine example of traditional Greek architecture. Set around a pretty, flower-filled courtyard and orange grove, Summer Lodge offers you well-furnished and pleasantly decorated rooms. Most have private balconies or open terraces. Rooms on the ground floor, which face the gardens, have a patio area and are particularly cool in the heat of the summer. Continental breakfast is served in the morning. We have the tremendous advantage of being around 400 metres from the long, quiet beach of Maleme, mostly sandy but also pebbly. Only 5 km from Platanias centre and 16 km from Hania town, we are ideal for enjoying water sports, peaceful countryside walks, or interesting visits to archaeological and historical sites.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.1 for a two-person trip.

The luxury of paying less on accommodation and spending more on fun while on holidays in Crete. A good Wi-Fi network, a clean/hygienic place to stay, nearby take-away meal options, laundry service and a friendly environment to chill on the weekends/work-offs is all that a person seeking workation needs and Summer Lodge got all of it, making us an ideal place for digital nomads.
World travelers in winter and great hosts during the endless Greek summer.
Conveniently located on the edge of the historical seaside village of Maleme, Summer Lodge, an attractive, family run vacation lodging is a fine example of traditional Greek architecture. Only 5 Kms from the centre of Platanias and 16 Kms west of Hania town, is the ideal starting point for the visitors requiring a wide variety of sandy beaches, water sport activities, peaceful countryside walks, or interesting visits in archaeological and historical sites. With the tremendous advantage of being no more than 400 meters by footpath to the long, quiet beach of Maleme, mostly sandy but also pebbly and a number of nearby tavernas as well as a supermarket and other shops, the situation couldn't be more convenient and car hire, although useful, is not essential.
