Nice villa in a small community about 15 minutes drive from Heraklion. Area around the villa is a bit rustic, however, there is a beach, restaurants, and small store within walking distance. The place was clean and the owner (who lives in the villa across the way) was very kind. She brought us coffee and offered to clean/skim the pool each day! The air-conditioning works very well and there is an outdoor seating area upstairs as well as a BBQ area in the back. We found the bed a bit firm and the stairs to go up are quite steep. But all in all a really great place to stay and explore the island of Crete!
