My experience with this airbnb nearly ruined my trip. Prior to booking, I specifically asked how far away it was from Heraklion Airport and was told 10km. When I arrived, I found out it was actually 110 km. My friend and I attempted to drive there the night we arrived and the road to get there was closed. The police guarding the road closure told us the alternative route was unsafe. Upon calling with my concerns, I was told people drive it all the time and it's perfectly safe. Despite the pressure to ignore the police concern, we waited until the next morning to drive there and I am so glad we did. The road is extremely winding and near cliffs. The higher we got, the more fierce the winds were, the cell service was spotty, and there were zero lights. When we finally arrived, we followed Penelope to the airbnb and discovered it is not in fact in walking distance to any stores or restaurants. The location and airbnb itself was beautiful, but the heated pool (80° f) was not as heated as we hoped. We ultimately were not comfortable with staying. Penelope was kind enough to offer us a refund. Please do not book this unless you are actually looking for complete seclusion.
