Giannis was a wonderful host! He was around to greet us, show us to the boat & show us the ropes. He didn't leave anything out, he even included coffee, bottles of water & treats! He had great tips of things to see & do while in Heraklion. The location of his sail boat couldn't be better. It's right next door to the port we left out of to head to Santorini. All the main ferries leave within walking distance from where the Blu sits slipped. The harbor itself is gorgeous, rich in history. The Marina Café is a good place to eat and it's right where you'll meet up with Giannis if you're coming into Heraklion via taxi from the airport of by ferry. You can rent cars or scooters just up the street as well. Everything you'll need is right by the Blu! We would stay with Giannis again in a heartbeat! Giannis really is very nice and incredibly helpful! The gentle rock of the sea made for an amazing nights sleep. It is a bit pricey but I would do it again based on the host and location!
