Vasilis apartment is very nice and straight on the beach. Take a step and your toes touch the sand. The water was extremely clear. We took a lot of daytrips to Knossos, Lasithi and Agios Nicolaos. Very reachable to the proximity of VOAC, the national road. Some part of Gazi can be a bit industrial, but being close to Heraklion and the airport was a bonus for us. Thanks Vasilis for responding always so quickly and checking in on us if we have arrived safely. We felt very cared for.
