HIDDEN GEM in Heraklion!!!
We stayed here July 2019 and I honestly have never stayed in a better air bnb!
We were the first guests to stay and we were overwhelmed by the hospitality we received from Vaggelis, Opi and their daughter Sofia. They met us late on the first night because our flight was delayed and from that night they were nothing but the perfect most gracious hosts. They gave us amazing recommendations for dinner and things to do and see. Vaggelis is also owns a coffee shop near by which serves THE BEST coffee we had in Crete.
The room is layed out like a studio hotel room and they have added amazing touches like robes, slippers and free toiletries.
The decor has been done perfectly!! It’s a great mix of modern European design and is better than most hotels I have stayed in.
The location is walkable to the port about 10 minutes and buses to Knossos and surrounding towns is really easy. It’s away from all the other tourists and British holiday makers which was lively and quiet and gave a real feel of Cretan life.
In all of the cities I’ve been to (which is a lot) this is by far the best AIr bnb I have stayed in.
Thank you Vaggelis, Opi and Sofia you made our stay in Crete one we will never forget. You are some of the nicest humans we have ever met. Thank you.
