Pelagia Maria, Hersonissos

Pelagia Maria is a small, practical base in Malia, Hersonissos, Greece, set at 71303 Malia, where you can keep your days flexible between the coast and nearby sights. The appeal is in the simple rhythm: free WiFi for planning, a terrace for quiet downtime, and access to a nearby outdoor pool when you want a change from the beach.

For evenings in, the snack bar/deli and the billiards or pool table give groups something low-key to do without leaving the property.

Recent guest feedback tends to highlight the home-like setup and the convenience of being close to Malia’s main area, with many travellers mentioning that it’s easy to come and go during the day.

Couples also like the laid-back pace and the ability to reach the beach quickly.

You’re well placed for key landmarks: Malia Beach is about 1 km away, the Malia Archaeological Site sits roughly 2 km from the hotel, and Star Beach Water Park is around 4 km for a day of slides and sun. For a change of scenery, Agios Nikolaos Lake is about 14 km away, offering a calmer outing beyond the resort strip.
