Forget hotels, this is the place for you in Heraklion!

Large apartment, well equipped kitchen, very clean, organized with nice style. It also features a HUGE balcony with great view to the harbor. Nothing better than to eat breakfast while looking at the harbor, and enjoy cool see breeze. You probably won't get better value for money than this place.

In terms of location – it's in a perfect place. 5 minutes walk(!) from the central bus station, and 3 minutes walk(!) to city center – yet it is in a quite place.

But the best part without a doubt is the host, or in our case, the host's friend – Defkalion. Upon our arrival he kindly gave us a tour across the city, with recommendations of Restaurants, attractions, sites etc. He shared he's huge knowledge about Greece and the world in general – a fascinating man to talk to and very nice. So nice that we just had to ask him to meet with us one night – and so we did. We ended talking for hours and got to know a great person which we'll stay in touch with.

Definitely made our experience of Heraklion much better.
