Peaceful Paradise by the Sea
I stayed at Pyrgos Blue with a lifelong friend in mid-June, and it truly exceeded our expectations. The room was spacious and spotless, with a king-size bed, an extra single bed, and a large private balcony furnished with loungers, chairs, and a table. Plenty of storage space, too.
What really stood out was the view: the sea stretching out before us, waves gently rolling in, a tiny chapel on a nearby small island and citylights far away. With no adjacent balconies, it felt completely privateโwe even slept with the screen door open and fell asleep to the sound of the waves. No air conditioning needed; the breeze was perfect.
The daily cleaning was impeccable, there was a small fridge to keep our water. The pool bar offered great options. Despite a late arrival due to a flight delay, we were warmly welcomed and even served a late-night meal.
Parking was always available for our rental car, and we highly recommend visiting the village of Sissi and the nearby Minoan palace ruins. After such trips, weโd unwind by the pool or in the garden, there were always plenty of loungers and no loud music, just the soothing sound of the sea.
Maliaโs town center with excellent restaurants is just a short walk away. It was a perfect holiday. A couple of small suggestions: a hook near the shower would be handy, and a foldable luggage rack could make packing more comfortable.
Would absolutely return
