Our experience at Stella's home has been just perfect. The property is a traditional cretan house that has been recently renovated with a great attention to details. It is amazingly designed for people that are looking to enjoy relaxing holidays while being also very close to the most interesting areas of Heraklion. The house really stands out in the local neighbourhood where is located for its interesting design.
I loved the restaurant recommendations that Stella gave us, the local tavernas are an unmissable experience for their food and atmosphere. Our two favourites spots were just a few steps away from Stella's place.
From the city it is also very easy to do road trips and discover the beautiful less known areas of Crete. Thanks to Stella's recommendations we visited a couple of incredible beaches with almost no people and amazing local bars where you can order a "freddo espresso" to sip while enjoying the beautiful views. I hope I will have the chance to travel to Crete and stay at Stella's home again very soon!
