Thanks to Christos and his son for welcoming us to their apartment when we arrived in Heraklion. They were very helpful in showing us all the features of the apartment and advising how to use the local public transit to get to Knossos and to the beach.

The apartment was very modern and comfortable and spacious with a fully equipped kitchen and a washing machine. It was three flights up marble stairs (no elevator), so the front balcony had a fantastic view of the Venetian wall and across the old town, out to the sea. We enjoyed our breakfasts on this balcony each day.

A great bakery with friendly staff around the corner for baked goods, and local stores for other breakfast and grocery provisions. It was a 15 minute walk to the centre of town. On our last day we took a taxi with our luggage to the museum across town for 5 euros. Bus access to the airport, Knossos and the beach are all very easy.

We would be happy to recommend this place to any visitors to Heraklion. Thanks again Christos.
