The Ultimate Cretan Experience
Mades Magic Place
Authentic Cretan apartments, moments from the sea
Mades, a Hidden Gem of Crete
Mades is a wonderful, hidden coastal settlement next to Agia Pelagia, perfect for those seeking absolute tranquility away from the crowds. Nestled among modern holiday homes and beautifully kept gardens, the landscape exudes peace. Here, time slows down — summer mornings begin with the song of cicadas and a gentle sea breeze. The picturesque, sheltered bay of Mades with its crystal-clear waters is just a breath away, offering the perfect setting for relaxation and snorkeling.
Crete, an Island of Endless Contrasts
From the snow-capped peaks of the White Mountains to the turquoise waters of Balos and Elafonissi, Crete is a world of its own. Wander through 4,000 years of history at Knossos, hike the legendary Samaria Gorge, or simply relax at a seaside taverna over fresh fish and local wine. Every corner of the island tells a story — and Mades Magic Place is your perfect base to discover it all.
