Gabriella made our stay pleasant. She is a warm person who is very knowledgeable of her town (Palaiokastro) and Irakleion nearby. She was very accommodating to all our requests. Although we did not use the beach, therefore I cannot comment, it is within walking distance. Finding her unique b&b was also very easy as it is less than 100 m from the highway exist. Finally, the neighborhood is very quiet and safe.
