I had a great time here for 10 days.
The apartment is in a good location. One way the beach is 400m away, the other the supermarket is 400m away. Just cross the road from the supermarket for the bus stop into town (Iraklion). The Wi-Fi worked well.
This is not in a tourist resort, the apartment is on the outskirts of a capital city. It’s great. Yes, the dogs across the street do bark.
You can get everything you need in the closest supermarket, the staff are helpful and speak a lot more English than I do Greek.
The little block with Matthaios’s parents at one end and 6 apartments behind has a very friendly, relaxed atmosphere.
Will I go back? It's already in the queue.
My tips: Go to the beach at the end of the road, you can get a sunbed c/w a complimentary drink from the café for €3. Across the road from the supermarket is a mini market you can buy your bus tickets here (It’s cheaper than on the bus)
