The first thing you need to know is that the place is close to EVERYTHING. I couldn't believe that most of the sights in Iraklio were a mere 3, 4, 5-minute walk away. The place is charmingly decorated, with good air conditioning and wifi (I had to do Zoom calls with Canada for work and had no issues). Tons of restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, supermarkets within a short walking distance. I wish I could have stayed longer.
