This is place is truly unforgettable. Come with an open mind and find yourself lost in the amazing history of Katalagari through the experiences of Katerina. Enjoy lovely walks to the nearby villages, and taste the figs on the way. This is a place to rest, contemplate nature, make friends and immerse yourself in the true spirit of Crete. I sincerely feel Airbnb should add a whole category of its own for this place, I would call it 'home away from home'. Things to note: Close to Heraklion (about 23 euros taxi ride), 15mins by car. Close by villages worth a visit; Archanes & Houdetsi. Health care; the host has local contacts, my son saw a doctor for 25 euros with Katerina's help. Eating; apart from Katerina's lovely cooking lesson, we had a nice meal at the local taverna too.
