Read About Apanemia.
Since 1998, Apanemia has been welcoming travelers to a secluded cove on the east end of Triopetra (locally known as Koumanto) Beach, where coarse golden sands meet the warm waters of the Libyan Sea. Tucked beneath the rugged Triopetra rocks, our taverna and guest rooms offer the perfect blend of serenity and authentic Cretan charm. Just a mile from the quaint village of Agios Pavlos and a scenic 35-minute drive from the lively port of Agia Galini, Apanemia is your tranquil home away from home.
Here, every meal is a celebration of island life. We serve time-honored family recipes and the day’s fresh catch alongside a colorful array of cooked local greens and crisp seasonal salads—all prepared in the true Cretan spirit. Each morning, our owner personally selects and readies the dishes, then guides you through the menu so you can taste the story behind every bite. We believe there’s nothing better than sharing an authentic Cretan dinner with friends as the sun dips below the horizon.
After a day of swimming, snorkeling or simply soaking up the view, retreat to one of our six sea-view rooms. You’ll find air-conditioning, mosquito screens, a private ensuite, mini-fridge, TV and coffee-making facilities all at your fingertips. Step out onto your balcony and gaze across to the islands of Paximadia and Gavdos—and breathe in that gentle sea breeze. At Apanemia, warm hospitality and unforgettable sunsets are always on the menu. We look forward to making your stay in southern Crete truly special.
