If you visit Heraklion I would very highly recommend staying here. I travel extensively and have rarely found such a well located apartment, with fine furnishings, and helpful host. The apartment is right in the downtown shopping district near stores such as Zara, yet is on the second floor and very quiet and peaceful. Knossos was only a few minutes away by taxi and the bus/ taxi was about 3 minutes away by foot. I would and am recommending staying here to all my friends who come to visit Crete.
