Alexandros' villa is superb. The villa itself is spacious enough but there are at least 4 additional outside spaces where you can sit or eat, including a great barbecue area. The pool is just big enough for serious swimmers but also lots of fun for just messing about in (the multicolour lights are great for midnight swims). The location was perfect for us: far enough from the main drag that you can be private but close enough that you can easily go out (20 minute walk to the fine restaurants in Archanes, 10 minutes drive to Knossos, 20 to/from Heraklion airport). The villa was ideal for us and highly recommended.
