Apollonia Apartments, Malevizi

Apollonia Apartments is a practical base in Malevizi, Crete, set in the Agia Pelagia area at Neofytou Pedioti, where you can reach the beach and local streets without needing a car for every outing. The setting suits travelers who want a quieter stay with outdoor space, since the property includes a terrace and a garden for morning coffee or a slower wind-down after exploring. Reviews from past guests, averaging around 7/10 from 14 reviews, point to a generally comfortable, no-fuss experience, with many guests valuing the simple rhythm of apartment living rather than a high-gloss hotel atmosphere. Several visitors also mention the ease of getting in and out, helped by express check-in/check-out and luggage storage when your plans don’t match the standard times.

If you’re planning day trips, the Palace of Knossos is about 20 km away and is one of the region’s most important historical stops. For beach time, Agia Pelagia Beach is roughly 1 km from the apartments, while Mades Beach and Ligaria Beach are about 5–6 km out, giving you options beyond the main shoreline. The area is also well placed for boat tours nearby, which is useful if you want a different perspective of the coast without committing to a full-day driving route.

Apollonia Apartments is best for couples and families who prefer self-catering flexibility and outdoor downtime, and who want to spend their energy on Cretan beaches and nearby sights rather than on on-site entertainment.
