Excellent location on Kalamokanias beach (adjacent to the port at Makry Gialos). It's really peaceful and has great mountain and sea views, about 20m from the beach. The apartment is pretty standard within its price range. Nota was a good host and lives in the same complex as the apartment. The port is 5 minutes' walk with lots of tavernas, shops, and the main beach. It's about 90 minutes drive from Heraklion.
