ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAYS IN FRONT OF THE BEAUTIFUL BEACH. NEW FURNISHED APARTMENT TO MADE LIGARIA CRETA GREECE, WITH FANTASTIC VIEW TO THE SEA . THE APARMENT IS ON THE BEACH AND HAS TWO SINGLE BEDS AND ONE SOFA BED WITH KITCHEN, AIR CONDITION, REFRIGERATOR, TV AND ALL THE MODERN EQUIPMENT. Made, pronounced "Mathvay" is a tiny village by the sea, about twenty kilometres from the centre of Heraklion. A few notable people live here year round, most keep summer homes. Swimming is fantastic here - the bay is partly protected from the open sea. At the end of the beach bar scuba diving, jet-skis and other water sports are offered. Relax and sunbathe, paint, write and enjoy the beach bar! Made is one of those hidden places, generally quieter than beach areas close to Heraklion, but with the facilities (if you include Lygaria and Agia Pelagia) that make spending days here a pleasure. You can rent a car (recommended) and explore from a pleasing base camp. The beach is open for all the year. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Ski - Ski lift privileges ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended -

I stayed in the Apartment to celebrate my 50th birthday, and couldn't be happier with the decision. Even with a mixup and miscommunication, they worked to accommodate my stay when I showed up 2 days early. I cannot thank them enough for their kindness and hospitality. The apartment is spotless and well-kept in a quiet location right on the beach away from the crowds. It's very close to everything, though, with downtown Heraklion just a short drive away. I would not hesitate to book here again should I find myself in Crete in the future. ##### Lynnette B.

Als wir ankamen, empfing uns eine nette Frau (Besitzerin). Das Zimmer war sehr sauber und besaß 2 Kühlschränke. Küchenutensilien, Küchengeräte, Tücher, Strandtücher, Decken – reichlich. Der Strand liegt 15 m entfernt und mit der blauen Flagge ausgezeichnet. Die Bucht ist klein. Es gibt keine Promenade, Supermarkt oder Restaurant, das wir gut fanden. Ruhe pur. Wir verbrachten schöne Zeit dort. Danke ViVi.

A wonderful stay in this little apartment. Every thing you could want was supplied. Even clean sheets and towels half way through our stay. The beach really is only a few metres from the apartment Last two kilometres from the main road quite a challenge. We got lost! A sketch map on the website would help. We found the hire car essential. Persevere it is well worth it. John & Angela Hulme ##### John H.
