Yiannis and Véronique are very nice hosts with a good communication. They helped us find the nice places around and our 11 days stay with kids was very nice. From Kokkini Hani, which in itself is not such an interesting place, you can easily get a bus to other places around like Chersonisos, Malia and Heraklion. So it's central, near (about 20 minutes by bus) to Heraklion airport and most important: very, very near the beach and good eating facilities just on walking distance.
