Everyhing was brilliant, as described and even better. Nice hosts, very good communication, beach only a stone's throw away. Parking was available in front of the house, lots of restaurants and also beach bars within 3 minutes walking distance. A small supermarket and kiosks are also in walking distance. When we arrived, some food and drinks were already waiting for us.
There is a bus going from Heraklion Airport directly to very close to the apartment, also Heraklion city is easily reachable by public bus (1,70 Euro). So you do not need a car if you want to stay in that area which has a lot to offer.
I had a very nice holiday, thank you!
