Our stay at George's villa was most pleasant. It was located away from the sprawling city of Heraklion near the seaside town of Hersonissos about 25 mins drive from the port city. We hired a car which made life easy & had the benefit of giving us the freedom to travel. George's instructions were easy to follow using the Creta Maris Hotel as the major way point on our phone GPS, once there it was easy to find. George's father was on hand to check us in & was most accommodating even offering to change apartments. The apartments were clean & accurate in description & just a stone-throw away from a small beach where we caught some beautiful sunrises from the sea. Plenty of restaurants on Hersonissos sea promenade, there was no need to travel far for a great meal.
