I loved this apartment, 15 minute easy walk.from the city center in a quiet, not so touristy neighborhood with shops.and restaurants. Despina is a wonderful host. Her little welcoming chavros (teacakes) are a treat, and the raki in moderation😄 Heraklion is a vibrant city. Gourmet restaurants, some good vegetarian options (Preso and the wine bar Xaabpo were great. I also stumbled across.some great traditional music at Konaki. The archaeological museum, Venetian fort and Knossos were all.amazing.
