Clive not only made us very welcome on arrival there was nothing he hadn’t thought of in his delightful ARTHOUSE 6 residence.
The house itself is a wonderfully restored enchanting creation of an art-deco bygone era. Clive’s extra care in providing every possible amenity and little luxuries was exemplary and his introductory walking tour within the old Venetian City walls left us with a wealth of knowledge with which to wonder the old city streets, squares, harbour front, galleries and Museums. Clive particularly mentioned the Historical Museum on the harbour front where we spent an absorbing half day (a delightful coffee shop within).
There is a plethora of cafes and restaurants in Heraklion. Clive’s recommendations for his ‘special local haunts’ made the enjoyment of Crete’s cuisine all the more pleasurable. Dimitrie’s, just a block from ARTHOUSE 6, and 50/50 Café on Market St a short stroll away, were a real treat both culturally and for local cuisine. Clive’s Web and Facebook page “Now Heraklion” is a ‘must read’ for newcomers to Crete’s capital and is recommended in the listed 10 best things on Crete.
We were sad to leave ARTHOUSE 6 and trust that Clive will welcome us again when we next visit for a longer stay. Needless to say we will be singing the praises of the residence, Heraklion and Crete for years to come.
