Ilias is the best host I've ever had. He's incredibly friendly and eager to help. Always up for a chat with his guests in the bar as he serves them amazing drinks. By the way, he's also the owner of the place hehehe.

Host Review Score
Melissa Apartments, a delightful, family-run property in Malia Crete, occupies a superb position in the quiet part of the village. A large inviting swimming pool and sunterrace with a view over the lovely mountains and poolside snack bar add to the appeal of the charming Melissa apartments property.
The atmosphere at the Melissa property is friendly and inviting: family Fragakis welcomes friends, families and couples alike and gives its best to make you feel comfortable and at home. The many repeaters who spend their holiday at Melissa apartments can only confirm this.
Just moments away from the romantic Old Town of Malia with its local taverns and restaurants and from the lively Malia Beach Road with its many pubs, bars and clubs. The beautiful sandy beach is only a 10 minutes’ stroll away.Olive groves and nearby walking trails lead into the beautiful countryside and flora of Crete. And for those who are interested in history, Malia has its own, 4,000 year old, Minoan palace which is well worth a visit.
