We stayed at the "artists' house" in the old town of Heraklion during the xmas holidays. The city of Heraklion, the people and the way of life pleasantly surprised us. The dynamic of the city, the restaurants, the quality of the typical Tavernas and the generosity of the Cretan people, have touched out hearts, but the best part of out trip was Eirini, Vincent and their family. Despite the bad weather we encountered and the fact that we were off season, we felt so welcomed and "cared for" by them that we had a very hard time leaving! Eirini and Vincent, you have made our trip a loving experience, because this is how we felt "loved". We feel that we left great friends in Crete and we will be back to visit again :-) THANK YOU!!!
