We highly suggest this place for a nice trip to Crete! We had a lovely stay in Heraklion it is such a good place to be! Eirini and Vincent are really great hosts - so welcoming and helpful, it felt like visiting old friends. Their home is wonderful and comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped ( we still have to cook some indian food!) and we loved to sit on the roof deck. For our son, there were a lot of toys he could play with and borrowing a sccoter was great , too. Most of the time we went by foot, its only ten minutes up to the city center. We are looking forward to come back next year.
