Located in the small town of Koutouloufari, the mid-range Galaxy Villas is good for a quiet stay and a little local cultural exposure. The 53 spacious apartments have traditional architectural touches, plus kitchenettes, flat-screen TVs, free air-conditioning, and furnished outdoor spaces. Wi-Fi isn't free in rooms, though, and the style is basic. The sunny pool area includes a separate kids’ pool, though pool towels aren't provided. A poolside bar serves snacks and traditional Cretan cuisine for dinner. There's no on-site activity program or entertainment -- aside from a pool table -- guaranteeing a low-key atmosphere, though weekly barbecue nights add variety. Wi-Fi is free in public areas and there's free limited parking, but features are otherwise limited. For a more modern self-catering option in a busy resort town, try Latania instead.

A Greek-village-style property with mature gardens and three pools that's a steep climb from the attractions of lively Hersonissos, Marni Village’s range of studios and apartments are dark, and the decor is in dire need of a refresh. In a peaceful setting close to town, Marni Village is a good budget choice for those who like to lounge by the pool and enjoy the restaurants in the surrounding village of Koutouloufari, but that steep climb back from the beach and from Hersonissos might discourage anyone else without a car.
