A perfect situation for shops, beaches, buses to Rethymnon, car rentals, day tours. We hired car once there. It's much cheaper than renting online. Bus is easy and cheap from Heraklion to Adelianos Kampos.
Stela's apartment was beautifully presented. And spotlessly clean. It has everything you need. It also has a large balcony to the front with sofa and coffee table as well as a little bistro table and chairs. Stela herself was a lovely, warm and welcoming host. She lives in apartment below and is always on hand if you need help or have a problem. She is really lovely.
