The cottage were better than the pictures, if I dare say! Great location, easy to find and lovely outdoor area. We came in mid-June so the fruits from the orchard were not ripe yet but it was lovely having the view of the lemon, lime, olive trees at the back and the front were the beautiful mountains. It is not far from Heraklion and you have easy access to the beaches (we highly recommend Potamos beach, about 5 minutes drive), Spinalonga Island (about 30 minutes drive), Lasithi Plateau (45 minutes drive), Malia Palace Archaeological Site (right next to Potamos beach!) and many other sites.
We spent a lot of time cooking outdoors and enjoying being under the fairy lights while viewing the stars above us. The supermarket is very close to the cottage and you can get all you need (~10 minutes walk or 2-3 minutes drive).
Highlighly recommended and you will enjoy your stay!
