We rested in May in Michele Marie with my husband and child.
Small cozy apartments in the village of Agia Pelagia.
There are some cons, but in general everything is fine. The village is located 20-30 minutes drive from Heraklion, a fairly close location to the city. You can get there by taxi, public transport or car (rented, which, by the way, we did, but more on that later).
The room in which we were settled was quite comfortable, for the price that we took the tour, everything suited us. The Internet was free, but the air conditioner in the room was paid 5 euros per day, but we did not use it, because it was not so hot.
We ate in taverns on the seashore, and in our opinion the best tavern is EDEM, very nice managers, delicious homemade food.

The beach is sandy, very comfortable, sunbeds, however, are paid, but we had ordinary rugs, and in principle we were fine. The beach is 3-5 minutes walk from the apartments. There is also a supermarket nearby, there is also a pharmacy, about a 7-minute walk.
Regarding excursion programs and car rental, they took from the hotel guide in order to avoid any problems with street agencies. We rented a car for 60 euros, a mechanic for two days. But we rolled so that we had no strength, in a good way) We looked at the island, mountains, olive groves and various villages. The village of Margarites conquered us the most, it is very interesting and colorful, clay craft and ceramics are well developed.
From the excursion programs we took the island of Santorini and the cave of Zeus.
All liked it! Wonderful guides, a deep bow to Sofia and Vladimir for a wonderful time.
Regarding the minuses that I spoke about earlier, the village is not for young guys, there will be nowhere to hang out or go to a disco, a purely family and relaxing holiday. To get to Heraklion by regular transport, you need to know the bus schedule, and the location of the stops in Agia Pelagia. Namely, there is a stop next to the Capsis hotel, and there are buses at 8:30 and 9:30, these are the only ones that we know, and to return back, there are also only two flights at 14:30 and 22:00... this is not at all convenient, and that's why we rented a car.
We are satisfied with the rest, although the weather let us down a little, but it turned out to sunbathe, I advise the apartments to those who want to save money and families with children.
