Pela Mare Hotel  

Perched on a hilltop on the outskirts of Agia Pelagia, just west of Heraklion on Crete’s north coast. This family-friendly aparthotel is about 950 meters from Agia Pelagia and Ligaria beaches and serves as a relaxed base for beach days and island sightseeing.

A small, family-run aparthotel with 24 individually decorated rooms and lush gardens. Rooms offer balconies (many with sea views), fridges, LED TVs, pillowtop beds with Egyptian cotton sheets and handy tea/coffee kettles — clean, cozy and quietly stylish.

Seasonal outdoor pool (operates May–October) and a kids' pool with sun loungers and umbrellas set around the garden. You’ll find a poolside restaurant and bars, four nearby beach bars, a massage room, a diving club and concierge services, plus shuttle and babysitting options (surcharges apply) — perfect for wake-up-to-sea-breeze mornings.

On-site business center and complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout the property. Reception assists with tours and transfers; note reception has limited opening hours so advise arrival time in advance.

Complimentary buffet breakfast is served daily and the on-site a la carte restaurant focuses on Mediterranean flavors. A cocktail bar and poolside bar keep coffee, snacks and evening drinks nearby for easy alfresco dining.
