Georgios’s listing is the perfect place to stay in Crete if you want something a bit quieter and out of the way from Heraklion. The area around it was so beachy and perfect, and the proximity to the beach was everythinggg!
There are multiple bus stops right at the end of the street, so if you need to go into town or want to visit Knossos it’s super easy. Information on the buses can be a bit hard to find, but Georgios kindly helped us out!
His apartment was fully equipped with everything you need, all the way down to beach towels! The only things I want to note are that without AC the bedroom can get a bit stuffy and humid in the summer, but the fan in the living room helps. Also, the walls to the rest of the building are kind of thin, so there’s occasionally the really loud noise of people slamming doors. All in all though, we really enjoyed our stay in Crete and would definitely return here!! Thank you Georgios!
