Stelios Gardens Hotel Review

Featuring Wi-Fi throughout the property, Stelios Gardens Hotel Malia sits within 2.8 km of Malia Palace Archaeological Site Ruins. Located in front of Malia beach, this hotel with views of the pool is well-known for its amenities including a Jacuzzi and an outdoor swimming pool.

This Malia hotel offers a buffet breakfast served every day in the restaurant. The accommodation has the snack bar with a billiards table and a TV. Serving international specialities, Drossia Restaurant is a mere 300 metres away.

The property has a quiet setting nearly a 15-minute drive from Star Beach. Afentis Christos Chapel on The Island is within an easy walking distance to the perfect hotel and Nikos Kazantzakis airport is 35 km away.

The golden sandy beach is just 850 metres away. The 3-star Stelios Gardens Hotel also lies 5 minutes on foot from Afentis Christos.

Certain rooms have a mini-kitchen and a dining area for your convenience. For more comfort, hairdryers and towels together with a shower are provided.

An extra charge applies to a community pool and loungers. The Stelios Gardens features cots and high chairs for children.

Impressions

Hey there! So, Stelios Gardens in Malia, Crete, is an absolute gem for history and archaeology buffs. Just a stone's throw away, you've got the Roman Archaeological Remains and the Malia Palace Archaeological Site, which is definitely a must-see for anyone intrigued by ancient civilizations. It's like stepping back in time as you wander through the ruins, imagining the stories they hold. The proximity to these historical sites makes it super convenient to soak up some culture and history without having to venture too far.

But, if you're more of a beach lover, you're still in luck. The beautiful Potamos Beach is also within reach, just 2.29 km away, offering the perfect spot to unwind and soak up the Mediterranean sun. And for those who are into religious landmarks, the nearby Agia Varvara and Agia Pelagia-Menopetra, at 1.34 km and 0.32 km respectively, provide a great opportunity to explore some of the local spiritual heritage. Plus, with the Bay of Malia so close, you can easily combine a chill day on the beach with a bit of sightseeing for a well-rounded vacation.
