We arrived in Crete yesterday morning and stayed at this cute AirBnB for a couple days. It was very close to the airport, so we were able to unwind and do some site seeing in Heraklion.
It has 4, yes 4, bedrooms and 2 full baths, a full kitchen, and large living area. It’s a great area for walking. There are several large resorts around us. We have walked to two restaurants, a grocery store & pharmacy. There are plenty of public beaches and benches to enjoy the sea breeze. The place fits us quite comfortably and plenty of room for a two-year old to run around without hitting furniture.
The host, Milanos, met us and gave us a tour of the house. He had fresh fruit (grapes & peaches) waiting for us. We immediately dug in while he showed us how things work in Greece. The peaches remind me of the SC & GA peaches and were delicious. I felt at home immediately. It has a solar powered water heating system and is very easy to understand.
Milanos also had a map of the island ready for us and circled his favorite places. THAT has been invaluable as we plan our trip for the next two weeks.
