Olive Grove Maisonettes and Apts, Heraklion

Olive Grove Maisonettes and Apts in Heraklion, Crete, is a practical base for travelers who want space outdoors as much as inside. Set in Agios Sylas 0, the property suits guests who prefer a quieter pocket of the city while still driving to major sights and dining areas. The grounds are a real part of the stay: a garden, a terrace, and outdoor furniture create places to linger after a day in the heat, and a picnic area makes it easy to keep meals simple. Free WiFi helps you plan routes or check in with family without having to leave the property.

Reviewers commonly mention the calm, homey atmosphere and the sense of privacy that comes with the maisonette and apartment style, rather than feeling like you’re in a hotel corridor. Families often appreciate the extra room and the chance to unwind outside, while pet owners value that pets are allowed, making it easier to travel with companions. The fenced outdoor setup is frequently cited as reassuring for guests who want a contained area for downtime.

In terms of what you can reach, the Palace of Knossos is about 5 km away, making day trips to the Minoan heartland straightforward. The Heraklion Archaeological Museum and the Venetian Walls are both roughly 6 km from the property, so you can pair history with an easy city stroll. For a waterfront change of pace, Heraklion Port and the area around Koules Fortress are about 6–7 km out. Best for families and pet-friendly travelers who want a relaxed, self-contained stay with quick access to Heraklion’s top attractions.
