Made, pronounced "Mathvay" is a tiny village by the sea, twenty kilometres from the centre of Heraklion. A few notable people live here year round, most keep summer homes. Made occupies a delightful bay with a small sandy beach. It also serves as anchorage for smaller locally owned boats. |
| On one side of the bay the grand Athina Palace Hotel clings with its pastel coloured cubes, to the cliff-side. Below the hotel is a most attractive beach bar, neatly sculpted on and around the rocks. |  |

Originally part of neighbouring Lygaria, few people know the name Made if you ask about it in Heraklion. It has a calm and less touristy nature than any remotely similar place so close to the big city. Rarely crowded even in the summer months - it's a pleasant place to enjoy a sandy beach and good swimming. |
| The Studios are 50m from the beach . with the bedroom separated from the kitchen corner by a step, with shower/WC, balcony with view. Apartments have a separate bedroom, living room with kitchen corner and 2 extra beds, shower/WC, balcony with sea view. |  |
