Frangokastello was super nice!
We arrived by bus what was actually quite easy and less expensive then a taxi. From Heraklion just take the Bus zu Vrises from there to Chora Sfakia and from there to Frangokastello. Will take you about a day to get there but is totally worth it in our opinion. (6 hours With wait times)
We spent most our time at the beaches which were perfect. The whole surrounding is super good for s chill and relaxed time. We ate mostly at the taverns and also brought cornflakes back to our room.
The room was exactly as described super simple and also what you would expect from such a price. Georgia is a really nice host anf welcomed us warmly.
We will definitely come back to Frangokastello and hope that you will like it there too.
It was hot and there were alot of Moskitos so be aware of those things :)
