This property was exactly what we were looking for - close to Knossos for where we were working and not too far from Iraklio (Heraklion). Directly below the apartment is a supermarket which is very convenient (if a little more expensive than those further out of town e.g. Lidl - to be expected). Proximity to Pizza Sofia was excellent and if you're staying here a while you will almost certainly eat here as well.
Check in was great with Arhontia picking us up and taking us to our home for the month. The apartment was well furnished and clean. We were given bed linen, towels, toiletries (all with spares!) and some basic food stuffs such as oil, salt and pepper, which were greatly appreciated. When we checked in, Arhontia and her sister also informed us of a music festival happening the following day on the island and so on their recommendation we headed down to Matala to see it and had an excellent time. Their local knowledge was excellent and helped make our stay even better.
The apartment itself is both comfortable and well-equipped with a great terrace to enjoy the sun setting over the area and behind the mountains each night. We were grateful for the washing machine and full size fridge and freezer as well as having a kettle, cafetiere, oven, 4 hobs and a sandwich toaster. A/C was greatly appreciated and very effective at cooling down the apartment within minutes.
We had a great time here and would highly recommend staying - our hosts made our time in Crete highly enjoyable. Other recommendations: visit the gorgeous town of Tourlotti (and stay a night and eat on the street in the evening if you can!), visit Matala, hike Samaria Gorge, and relax in the infinity pool in Kapetaniana. If you're going to hire a scooter then we also recommend Motorclub - not the cheapest but almost certainly the best! Enjoy!
