We had a wonderful time in Crete and part of it was due to Eirini's apartment. It is situated right at the heart of Heraklion, in a lively neighborhood, full of cafes and restaurants; it is very close to the old port where you can take walks along the sea cliffs. The apartment is beautifully decorated, it has everything you need; it also has a huge terrace where you can enjoy breakfast or a glass of wine in the evening. Eirini is a great host, very welcoming and helpful when we needed something.
Heraklion was a nice surprise, we will come back for sure; it's a great place where you can have fun, but also relax on one of the wonderful beaches, the food is absolutely amazing and the people are great.
