We stayed only few days and didn’t have the possibility to adapt and explore Heraklion. The city seems to be very nice , we took the car so not sure how to move otherwise. We visit Knosos palace and archeological museum and the Zeus caves. Eva apartments were perfect for that. There is a swimming pool available and see is walking distance. I was able to swim during all the staying.
Eva is very nice and energetic person always available. She personify the minoic people and spirit. She is active and advanced as Minoic society was able to build complex palaces of multi floor and sailing and exchanging goods over Mediterranean on 2000 bc.
Apartment has what you need and if you need something else you either go to the small market just at the entrance or ask Eva. Supermarket is also down on the same road. The area is very touristic which was nice for me since I could pick up souvenirs and there are also many restaurants where to eat.
