Ikaros Suites, Malevizi

Ikaros Suites is a calm base in Malevizi, Greece, set along Dios Street in the Amoudara Herakliou area, where beach days and countryside walks sit side by side. Guests consistently rate the property highly, with a 9/10 score from 14 reviews that points to attentive service, smooth day-to-day logistics, and a relaxed atmosphere. The seasonal outdoor pool is a practical bonus for cooling off between outings, while the garden and terrace give you a quieter place to slow down after time on the road. Free WiFi helps keep plans on track, and express check-in and express check-out reduce friction on arrival and departure.

Breakfast is available for a surcharge, which suits travelers who prefer to start the day without committing to a fixed schedule. A concierge service is on hand for practical guidance, especially useful if you’re pairing beach time with heritage visits. For landmark-hunting, Knossos Palace is about 8 km away, and the Heraklion Archaeological Museum is roughly 12 km from the hotel, making it feasible to do a full day of history and still return to a quieter neighborhood.

The hiking and biking trails nearby are a good fit for active guests who want something more than sun and sand, and the surrounding area naturally supports short excursions rather than long, complicated transfers. Ikaros Suites is best for couples and small families who want a peaceful stay with easy access to Amoudara Beach and the major sights around Heraklion, without feeling tied to the city center.
