Our stay in Heraklion in the apartments of Lida and her family was very great! You have everything you need, the location is great and especially the nearby pool is very nice! But what made our stay mostly special was the great caring that Lida and her family provide for their guests. They helped us with everything, recommended restaurants, told us nice spots to go to and were always available when we had a problem. They are very warm and welcoming! Thus, we can only recommend going to Crete and staying there :)
