Agelos' place is a great place to be. It has everything you could possibly want, even an oven and a tosti maker! Useful things as oil, coffee, salt, cleaning products, everything is there. The house is spacious, as is the balcony. Unfortunatly you won't catch any sun there, cause it's facing north. But you do have a great view over the ocean!
From the apartment it's just a few minutes walking to the city center or the harbour. Restaurants are very close by if you don't want to cook yourself.
Agelos is a very good host, he let us stay the whole last day, for he wasn't expecting other guests and our flight was only late in the evening. So when you go to Heraklion, do consider a stay at Agelos.
