We searched for a long time for the right holiday in the right location with the right accommodation and we hit the jackpot! The apartment was clean and had everything you needed, Maria was lovely and attentive and everyone who stayed here was really friendly. The pool was big for the amount of apartments and there was room for everyone. The town is gorgeous with a beautiful beach, lovely restaurants and shops. It has everything you need for a family. The town is very family friendly and it was mainly families that stayed there.

A lovely property in an great location

We had a lovely stay in our maisonette which was clean and tidy, but did lack quite a few kitchen utensils so you couldn't cook an evening meal if you had the urge to. The showers were also a little temperamental, but good once you got used to them. The beds were comfortable and there was sufficient air con if you needed it and the cleaner came a couple of times during our 11 day visit which was good. There were also lovely views from all the balconies. The location was very good as it wasn't in the hustle and bustle, but it was just over a 5 min walk down to the lovely sandy, safe, beach and the tavernas which were directly on the beach too with a great selection of food and drink. They're were also supermarkets and gift shops. The walk back up to the maisonette was a little challenging as the hill was quite steep but as it was short it wasn't too bad. The only minor gripe we had was that we were asked to be a little quieter in the pool at one point which was a little disappointing as we weren't being overly noisy but this didn't spoil our visit overall and we would consider going back (which isn't something we say often) and definitely recommend it to others.

Almyrida stay Pegasos Maisonettes

Great place to stay fantastic views host very welcoming and informative. My only suggestion would be to provide sachets of coffee and tea etc for arrival . That said if my wife and I come back to Crete Pegasos Maisonettes would be our first choice.

Lovely place

Throughly enjoyed our stay in Pegasos Maisonettes, Maria was a fantastic host and we couldn’t have asked for a better place from which explore Crete. The pool was fantastic, the views amazing, and just a short stroll down the hill to the beach and some lovely restaurants. Excellent value and we are sure to return.

Just book it!

Pegasos Maisonettes are located up the hill from the small town of Almyrida. The walk into town is only 5 mins but it is a bit more back uphill (depending on if you are fitter than me!) There are plenty of tavernas to choose from, even sushi if you want! We never had problems getting a table. Lovely beaches. Maria is a wonderful host, welcoming us on arrival and always available with information if needed. The apartments are very spacious, ours had 3 balconies, one on the side for the rear bedroom and one on each floor overlooking the pool. Balcony sizes do vary, some are more covered than others. Being enclosed gives more shade, but traps the heat from the aircon (one downstairs and one in each bedroom). The apartment is well equipped, large fridge/freezer, coffee machine washing machine etc. The ground floor is open plan lounge, dining and kitchen area and also has a bathroom with shower. Upstairs is 2 bedrooms, either side of the stairs with a bathroom in between (small but functional). The host checked in with us regularly to see if there was anything we needed, and the apartment was serviced every 4 days (love fresh sheets!) The view from the balconies over the pool and bay are amazing, and we loved sitting out watching the sun setting. Outside, the pool is large, shared with just 8 apartments, plenty of beds and umbrellas at any time of day (no getting up at the crack of dawn to reserve a spot!) We found it very peaceful (often being the only ones there) It’s FAB!

Chill Out Holiday

The apartment is good quality & very well maintained. It has everything needed but short of proper wine glasses, but still very usable. The views are great and steps down to the beach from the road below the apartment made it easy to get down to the village. A car is essential as it is quite hilly & not conducive to walking to & from the local shops, village or beach. We drove down & parked in town during the day, using the free parking which was readily available. 5 Euros for a taxi back up the hill after supper was a good investment. There are plenty of shops & tavernas near the seafront which was very pretty. The beach is very safe & sun loungers plentiful, free if you took a drink or lunch from those provided by the seafront cafes. It is an easy drive into Chania, a great town to visit & to other places nearby. A trip up into the hills found a lovely village with a typical taverna favoured by locals. The next town along was worth a visit, having traditional buildings, tavernas & beach, although our local beach was better. The location & accommodation were just what we wanted & best visited just outside of the main season before it becomes crowded. The views from the apartment & terraces are spectacular, especially at sunset. We were very well looked after by Maria who greeted us upon arrival & we received several emails from the owners who were keen to see that we were happy & that all was well. It is as good as it looks, probably better.

Amazing holiday in Almyrida

We spent 11 days in Pegasos Maisonette with our teenage sons. The apartment was just as described and most importantly, very clean. And the view from the apartment is spectacular. We were very well taken care of during our holiday and I would definitely recommend this place for anyone. Almyrida is a beautiful little town with a wonderful beach just walking distance away. There were plenty of taverns and restaurants to choose from, and little shops and a supermarket. If you are looking forward to relaxing, swimming in crystal clear waters and eating well, this is a place for you.

Very pretty views from the balconies, fantastic pool, very clean, good shower. Maria lives on-site and happy to help if requested. She booked a taxi for us to a neighbouring town and was always very friendly when we bumped into her. This is a serene location, beautiful and restful and guests are expected to maintain the wonderful calm vibe. Highly recommend it

What a wonderful stay!

We spent two idyllic weeks at the Pegasos Maisonettes - a small, quiet complex with fantastic sea views. Maria, our host, couldn't have been more friendly and helpful and our maisonette was spotless on arrival and cleaned several times during our stay. Whilst Almyrida beach was only a short walk away, the lovely pool on site was great for a refreshing dip and a quiet relax in the sun. Almyrida village has many lovely tavernas right on the beach, some modern but many more traditional, and the walk back up the hill to Pegasos after a great meal burned off a few calories! We'll definitely be back!

Well what can I say but this is a wonderful place to stay. The accommodation, swimming pool, views and Maria make this a wonderful place and would highly recommend it. We hired a car and managed to explore the island along with its many beaches and little towns. Would definitely go back in the future to explore more of the island.

An excellent holiday

This was one of the best, if not the best, place we’ve stayed in in the area. Clean, comfortable, excellent facilities and a very friendly welcome from Maria. There’s a wonderful view, the pool is superb and not crowded, and the shops, tavernas and beach are only a short walk away ( though it is uphill all the way back so not suitable for any one with moderate/severe mobility problems). Plenty of parking. I would recommend Pelagius unreservedly.

Great stay but not suitable for people with mobility issues.

Great spot but access is via a steep road and the villa has lots of steps. One if our party had knee issues so it was difficult for him to get to and from the village. We didn't hire a car but this would be a sensible option under these conditions. Lovely village, perfect for a quiet family holiday.

Really excellent apartment. The rooms are spacious, all have air con and are fitted with quality furniture and fittings. The two bedrooms are both the same size (large) and both had balconies, both offering a sea view. The front bedroom has a larger balcony with chairs and a great view of the bay and over the Chania. The living room is large and features a modern TV, with another balcony and large table. Wifi is available from an Access Point near the pool and is really strong and fast at the front although the back bedroom was a bit weak. Still it is free so just move to the front. The kitchen is modern (the cooker didn't look as though it had been used) and has the usual fittings, plates etc, that you would find at home. Again the quality of everything was very good. Finally two bathrooms with showers complete the picture. The showers were very powerfull and the solar water heaters seemed to give a never end supply of hot water. The apartment was cleaned twice a week with fresh linen and towels. I would say this is just about perfect. Outside the pool is very large and there are more sunbeds than guests so it is never crowded. We often had the pool all on our own. The views are great from this apartment, it is a 5 minunte walk down to the sea front with over 12 places to eat, all excellent. There is a manager (Maria) who lives down below and is both helpful and charming. She has a really friendly spaniel (dog) which likes a little pat on the head when passing by. Overall I would say that this is the best place we have stayed at in 15 years of renting villas and apartments and we have stayed in some very nices ones before.
