If your dream is to visit the Minoan Palace of Knossos, to live and breathe that history, than this is the place for you. You are STEPS from the palace which is fantastic, especially for getting in early before the tours arrive. And, you’re still only 5 km or so from the centre of Heraklion, like a 15 minute bus ride (bus comes every 15 minutes from 6-23:00 and is 1.50).
The apartment is clean and beautifully decorated with all of the amenities that you need. There’s a small grocery store within walking distance (20 minutes) and there are some nice restaurants just nearby as well.
Nina is fantastic - communicative, responsive and she goes above and beyond. A really great host, you’ll have a fantastic time staying here.
