The apartment was perfect. It was a short 10 minute walk to the center of Heraklion where there were lots of shops and restaurants. Giannis gave us tips on what restaurants were good and told us about the beaches close by and how to get to them. The apartment is true to the pictures and was large enough for 5 adults to stay comfortably. There was fruit, cookies, and water for us when we arrived. It was great!
