We spent the second week of March at Konstantinos' flat. No rain. Temperatutres alwasy over 2 degrees. We can recommend the flat, the place, Agios Nikolaos and Crete.
Mainly due to the late arrival of our flight handover of the flat was about 2 o'clock in the morning. Another challenge was our navigation system (here), which did not lead us to number 1 of the street. Note, that the beginning and the end are connected by staircases. So navigation to no 1 ist essential. But Konstantinos was brave in waiting for us that long and without complaints!
The flat is central to the town, harbour and the beach.
This is a very good starting point to visit the Palace of Knossos, the Archeological Museum in Hiraklion, Lasithi plateau, minoan town of Gournia and the cave monastry Faneromeni. Don't miss the Butterfly Gorge. Plan more time for the Archeological Museum, because this is really authentic, other than Knossos, as this is a mix of excavations and weird beton reconstructions of a weird archeologist. Another suggestion: next time we would take a smaller car, as the streets are very narrow.
The (sea)food was excellent and the beaches were clean and nice.
