Giorgos and his father Nikos were very welcoming when we arrived - we were welcomed with pastries and wine. Giorgos answered any questions we had about Crete and helped us with the bus times. The apartment is clean and spacious. The restaurant located next to it has the best food and I would recommend going there. 45 mins from Heraklion, 10 mins from Malia and about 1 hour away from the city with the lake - it is well located. There is a good selection of restaurants along the shore, with the club New York being fun to hang out in, in the evening. I would recommend this apartment!
