Volanakis Apartments, Malevizi Overview
Volanakis Apartments is located in Malevizi, Greece. Rated 5.4 out of 10 based on 3 guest reviews.
Volanakis Apartments is a small stay in Malevizi, Crete, on Karpathou 15, a practical base for exploring Heraklion and the surrounding coastline of Greece. With a 24-hour front desk and free WiFi, it suits travelers who value flexible arrival times and staying connected between outings. The garden setting adds a calmer rhythm to your day, especially if you’re returning from museums or beach time.
Guest feedback is limited, with an overall rating of 5.4/10 from 3 reviews, so it’s best approached with realistic expectations and a focus on the basics rather than luxury. Past guests have highlighted the quiet, residential feel and the usefulness of the on-site support, while the small review count suggests you should confirm details that matter to you directly with the property before booking.
The location works well for culture and day trips: Heraklion Archaeological Museum is about 8 km away, making it easy to plan a focused visit without staying in the city center. Agios Nikolaos Beach is roughly 1.5–2 km from the apartments, so a swim or sunset walk can fit into a half-day itinerary. If you want major ancient history, Knossos Archaeological Site is around 16 km from Malevizi.
Volanakis Apartments is best for solo explorers and couples who want a low-key base with garden downtime, dependable WiFi, and a straightforward setup for getting around Crete by car.
