The appartement is situated very close to the beach. You can walk along the beach to Heraklion, about 3-4km. This side of the coast gets windy in summer, compared to the south
The place is clean, good bed, with air-conditioning.
As it is located on the main street, it is a bit when you are not used to cities. There are a few things to cook (just the minimum) but people mainly eat outside and there is a lot of choice just around the corner.
The bus station (going to Heraklion center, airport and Knossos) is just close to the place however on a busy day the bus passed twice without stopping because it was supposingly full.
