On Crete’s northern coast, these modern, spacious apartments are located in the centre of the village, a short walk from the long beach with golden sand. You will be just one minute’s walk from the shopping areas, taverns, restaurants and night clubs. Ideal for families, the sheltered Agia Pelagia beach is only 100 meters away from the furnished apartmentsFor your comfort, apartments have a fully equipped kitchen and a balcony. Further east along the coast is the capital of the prefecture, Heraklion Town. Here you can see the Old Port, the Loggia and the bustling, colourful municipal market.

Crete. As well as the magnificent beaches and warm seas, the size and physical variety of the island of Crete invites exploration, and Maria Apartments, located at Main Street, Heraklion, 71500, Greece, is the ideal staring point. Uniquely among Greek islands, Crete’s mountainous spine creates a sense of spaciousness, a life distinct from sea and sand. Fly-drive holidays to Crete – or simply the hire of a car for some days during your stay in Maria Apartments, – will enable you to seek out the rugged formations of the interior, the fertile countryside and tiny chapels filled with frescoes, the mountain villages where time has stood still. Always, the authentic spirit of the islanders, their fierce independence and pride – as well as the best cooking and most delicious meals that constitute the famed “Cretan Diet” – will more likely be found where few others are looking. With so much to see, with dolphins to watch, shaded squares to paint, olive trees and wild orchids, Minoan remains and sweeping beaches, no wonder Crete holidays and Maria Apartments are revisited so often.
