Great place to stay if you wish to be in the heart of town. Everything is close so you won't be a moment bored. The appartment is clean and you will have plenty of room to stay with your family. Xaris picked us up from the airport so we had a no worry arrival. Parking in front of the house may be a bit difficult but that will be the case everywhere down town (we did manage to get a spot close by so you'll be ok)
Crete is great and Heraklion is in the centre so Xaris place is a perfect location to start exploring the Island.
