Afroditi and her husband Kostas are the sweetest and most accommodating hosts you will find. They welcomed us with tomatoes from their garden and olive oil from their groves, as well as suggestions for tavernas to eat at and sites to see on Crete. The house is about a 15 minute drive from the Heraklion city center, in an area right along the beach with many places to eat and drink. The house itself is stylishly and comfortably furnished with all the amenities we needed on our trip. If I visit Crete again Afroditi's house is the only place I would want to stay!
