Hello! In August 2018, we rested at the Michele Marie Apartment in Crete. We really want to share our impressions about the well-coordinated work of professionals who organize our vacation! Thanks to all the employees of Mouzenides travel, from agent Svetlana to the wonderful girl of the hotel guide Yulechka! About everything in order. This year we flew to Greece for the first time with this company, although we have heard about it for a long time. Got a very good offer. The air carrier Elinair, although a charter one, also left its impressions: the planes are good, the flight attendants are beautiful, they offered wine on board. The beauty! And a direct flight from St. Petersburg directly to Crete, gorgeous. After the flight, it was time for the bus, they showed us very smoothly, helped with the suitcases. It turned out to be only 30 minutes to drive to our hotel, it is located in the village of Agia Pelagia, right next to Heraklion, the capital of Crete.
When we arrived, we were met by our Julia, a wonderful girl, she took us to the hotel (we were dropped off in a parking lot a minute walk from the hotel, since a large bus cannot turn around in the narrow streets). They settled us right away, we didn’t have to wait - this is a plus of the hotel, because it’s nice to relax right after the flight. About the hotel itself, I’ll say right away: these are apparatuses. We knew where we were going, that there would be no buffet, pool, etc. , but we just needed such a quiet holiday. About the room: we had a room with a balcony overlooking the road, there is not much traffic here, so no traffic noise bothered us. On the balcony there are two chairs, a table, it's nice to sit in the evening. The room itself is quite spacious, white walls, pictures on them. We booked a room with a double bed, which is exactly what we had. Linen is clean, towels too. The room also has a kitchenette, we realized that a large cooking knife had to be taken with you.
As they explained to us, you can’t put big knives here, only small ones. So maybe it will be useful for you. There was no hair dryer in the room, but we asked for it and it was immediately provided to us. The rest of the furniture is simple: bedside tables, wardrobe, chairs, table, armchair. There is no outstanding style, but very comfortable. The bathroom is simple, the main thing is that it is clean and everything is in order. Nothing flowed from the beginning to the end of the holiday. The shower is comfortable, the curtain is thick, nothing leaked onto the floor. Of course, all shampoos, gels, etc. need to be taken with you. This is not provided here, these are apparatuses. A safe is provided here for free, but air conditioning is paid, 7 euros. We were warned about this, we thought that it would not be needed, but we were mistaken, the heat forced us to purchase it. We were separated from the beach by a small path, about three minutes and we were already there. We were told that the beach was close, but we didn't think it was that close! Really three minutes and already the sea.

The beach in Agia Pelagia is quite long compared to some of the Cretan ones we have been to. Part is sandy, part with pebbles, breakwater, sunbeds, umbrellas, taverns, everything is equipped. Sunbeds and umbrellas for a fee, as always in Greece, but we were quite comfortable on the rugs. Sunbeds cost 2 euros, an umbrella 3. All that concerns

The village itself can be described in three words: taverns, shops, hotels. Everything is quiet, calm, the place is really for relaxation. Although we were in Crete, we went on two excursions, Yulia told us very interestingly, and we could not resist. We took a trip to Balos Bay - the kiss of the three seas, and Cretan Evening - an evening trip where we danced, sang and ate delicious local Cretan dishes. We are very pleased with the rest, everything is harmonious, clear, nice people and only positive emotions. Thanks again!
