Orama Apartment, Malevizi

Orama Apartment is a family-friendly stay in Malevizi, Crete, set on the Main street address area, making it easy to plan beach days and day trips from Heraklion.

The apartment is smoke-free, and reviews commonly mention a comfortable, low-fuss atmosphere that suits families traveling with children.

If you want the coast without committing to a beachfront hotel, you’re close to Lygariá Beach (about 1 km) and Agia Pelagia Beach (around 3 km), both of which are well placed for swimming and casual strolls.

Most guests describe Orama Apartment as a sensible base for exploring Crete at your own pace, with free self parking making it simpler if you’re driving. It’s best for families and small groups who value space, straightforward logistics, and easy access to both shoreline and Heraklion’s top attractions.
