Offering a well-tended garden and a bar, Blue Sky Apartments is located in Mália. The nerarest beach is at 300 metres. Heraklio Town is 30 km from the property. Guests enjoy free access to the outdoor pool of a nearby property.

Our stay at Malia wouldn't be so pleasant and comfortable if not for this apart hotel. It is very cozy, comfortable, close to everything and yet quite isolated and quiet to consider the crazy nights of Malia. Malia is just wonderful, very very safe and the property itself. You feel like you r home. Of course people are what we liked most: Giannis, Nikos, Natalya, thanks for everything, your care and support, your quick feedback and ready to solve nay issue. And of course very useful advice that they can give regarding the village, transportation, timings etc. The apartment has a very functional kitchen with everything necessary for 4 people.

Featuring an outdoor pool and private beach area, Pyrgos offers a garden, terrace and free WiFi in public areas. The town of Malia with restaurants and shops is a 10-minute walk away.

Pyrgos is 3 km from the village of Stalida with its sandy beach. The city of Heraklion, Heraklion Airport and the picturesque coastal town of Agios Nikolaos are all within a 35 km reach.

It was very clean, the cleaning staff came everyday to clean the room. The room was very big and the view was incredible. The staff was helpful, friendly and polite. The food in the restaurant was great. By foot you have to walk only about 7-10 minutes (max.) to be in the old town („city“).

    The hotel owner and his family were very lovely and welcoming. I felt very safe while staying there. I travelled to escape the business of the city life, and this hotel was the perfect location. The peacefulness of the beach view combined with the lovniess of the owner makes this the perfect place for any solo traveller.

    We have had a fantastic stay in Kernos Beach. We had the chance to get an upgrade in a bungalow at the seafront and it was wonderful. Of course it was still very calme this time of the year. Very friendly staff. Good breakfast and diner with variation of food. Nice private beach shared with 1 other hotel. Staff do everything to give you a comfortable stay! I even got a birthday cake, very kind. Thank you. Barbara and Leslie from Belgium, last week in room 507 😊

    Good location. Not a big hotel but nice and very close to the own beach. Umbrellas at beach for free, bar is just steps from beach. If you want to discover Crete and live close to seaside at same time, it is very good option. Not far from Heraklion airport is good as well.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at your hotel in Malia, and I must say it was an great experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel warmly welcomed throughout our stay. The location was perfect, just a short 2-minute walk from the beach, allowing for convenient access to the beautiful oceann. The overall atmosphere was delightful, and the facilities were well-maintained. I highly commend the Kastro Beach Hotel for providing such a wonderful and memorable stay. Thank you for the outstanding hospitality.

    We loved our stay in Enorme Ammos Beach resort in Malia. Beautiful beachfront location. Amazing staff. We liked the access to the shared mini pool from our room. We loved the extensive breakfast buffet and the themed daily dinner buffet. All the foods were crafted and cooked to perfection! We liked our free morning yoga experience being offered daily.

    We enjoyed the lovely swimming pool very much. The hotel shares the breakfast lounge with the other Parthenis property at sea, so it is kind of mixed feelings: nice to have breakfast at seaside but have to walk 700 m to have breakfast and back every morning. On the other side, the access to the private beach compensates the effort.
