We had a very nice stay at Christos’ apartment. It is about a 15-20 minute walk to the center of Heraklion, but there is a large shopping center right across the street. The terrace view of the sea is very nice as well, though we went off season and the wind was unfortunately too strong for us to enjoy it much. The hosts were helpful and responsive, and the apartment was clean. The worst part about our visit is that with no notice, all the tourism spots were on strike! Knossos was closed. The fortress and museums were closed. Thankfully we were able to have a nice relaxing stay at the apartment.
