Gigilos Omalos
About
Found on Crete, Gigilos Omalos sits in the mountain village of Omalos 730 05, well inland from the island's north coast. The drive up from Chania is the usual approach, and Heraklion and Rethymno are both reachable by road for guests arriving from those towns.
Omalos itself lies high on the island, far from the beach strips that draw most visitors to Crete. A rating of 4/5 from 202 reviews places Gigilos Omalos among the more consistently reviewed addresses in the area. Heraklion, Chania and Rethymno are the nearest large centres, while Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra and Sitia sit further east.
The property holds a 4/5 score across 202 guest reviews, a steady record for a mountain-side stay. Nearby Matala and Elafonisi represent the coastal alternatives on the same island, each a considerable drive from the Omalos plateau.
Visitors should note that winter rain and rough seas close many island hotels and tavernas between November and March, so the season shapes a stay here. Greek is the everyday language, written in an alphabet that also appears on road signs and menus.
