If you staying in Heraklion stay with Alexandros!! His home is in the heart of the town and has three speculator balconies.
Alexandros is a great host he supplied us with water and a fully furnished apartment.
Honestly the home is in the best spot conveniently located next to parking, grocery stores, restaurants, and bars. It’s a easy short bus ride to Knossos from the apartment.
We were able to explore Crete and then return to the apartment.
If your still reading this just book, Alexandros is great and the apartment is amazing! I hope you stay here while in Crete!
