Great apartment with everything you need for a tip away. The local beach is 2 minute walk away which is great which we took advantage of many times, the local beach bar does a good deal on sun beds if you want as well. we enjoy a walk so we walked to heraklion center every night which is about 1 hour. if you dont like walking then a taxi is around 8 euros depending on day and time. The local main road has loads of shops and bakery's to so worth the walk up there, walk to the main road opposite direction to the beach and turn left just keep walk up the road, dont turn and eventually you'll hit many bakeries, sports shop and more. to top it off Mathhaious was super helpful and his parents were extremely welcoming and helpful as well making it a lot easier for us to plan and get about.
