This is a solid option as a home base to see the eastern half of Crete around Heraklion. Christos is very accommodating and quick to respond to any questions. The place is clean and has a nice patio with views of the ocean. It's a 15-20 minute walk along the water to downtown Heraklion, so if you have plan on spending a lot of time downtown this may not be the best option. But if you're planning to drive around and visit areas outside the big towns, then this is a solid home base for that.
