We stayed three nights at Panos' place. It's situated on a calm road, just 2-300 meters from the center of Malia and a lovely sand beach, the best of Malia.
Panos is always ready to help, ask him for advice on where to go or have a chat and share a beer with him in the cozy bar just by the pool side.
A great place in Malia for the price - also consider to take advantage of its central location in Crete and go visit other places in the wonderful island.
Thanks for the stay, Panos, all the best!
