It was a little difficult to find, because we didn't have detailed directions, but when we finally arrived, we were welcomed by Themistocles' father, who was very nice and greeted us warmly. The house with kitchen (well equipped, with brand new pots), living room and two bedrooms is as described though to get to the washer you need to get into their 2nd room, that they rent out and which we had the keys for.

If you're travelling with a baby they will put up a crib for you, which was very nice.

There's no Internet/ WiFi but the host had recommendations for the area available and we could call his father whenever we had a problem or question.

In front of the house, there's a little terrace with flowers and lemon trees and also an upstairs terrace, where we enjoyed the shade and great local wine that the host gave us as a welcome gift.

It is about a 15 min drive from the airport and about 20 min from downtown Heraklion, which is very convenient, but it's also nice to get away from the city and enjoy nature.

Even though it seems to be a remote little village surrounded by vineyards and olive groves the house is situated on the main road and can be surprisingly noisy.

Tip: Walk over to Anopoli. It is a straight shot down the dirt road from the house. Very picturesque village.
