Pyrgos Beach

4.6(192 reviews)

About

Pyrgos Beach in Crete occupies Pirgou 1, Malia 700 07, on the island's northern coast east of Heraklion. Malia sits on the coastal road, which makes the venue easy to reach from the main towns and resorts along the north. It is a hotel, and the setting places guests within reach of the beaches and tavernas that line this stretch of coast.

The venue is known for its position near the sea at Malia, and a rating of 4.6/5 from 192 reviews reflects how consistently guests respond to it. First-time visitors can expect a base for exploring the north coast, with Heraklion and Agios Nikolaos both within driving distance. The hotel's own website, http://www.pyrgoshotelmalia.com/, gives a preview of the rooms and setting before arrival.

Malia itself is a well-known stop on the northern route, so the hotel fits naturally into a wider Crete itinerary. Guests arriving by ferry or catamaran from Piraeus, Rafina or another island will find the north coast road links the main towns.

Orthodox Easter is the biggest religious festival on Crete, and village panigyria mark saints' days through the summer, which can shape when to visit. Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Venetian remains are found across the islands, from Delos to the old town of Rhodes, and Crete holds its own share of that history. Monk seals and loggerhead turtles live around the islands, and many have protected nesting beaches.
