Although we never meet our host in person (Eirini had to leave for Paris before we arrived) she was one of the kindest and considerate hosts we have had, ensuring our safe arrival and leaving a welcoming and humorous note on the table for when we arrived. Her father and husband were both there to greet us and were both very helpful and entertaining. The house was a stylish and unique oasis in Heraklion. We had a short overnight in the old town as we had to leave by ferry the next morning, but enjoyed taking photographs in and around the neighbourhood and ate a fantastic dinner at a restaurant by the sea called Mare. A big thank you to our kind and gracious hosts.
