Although my stay was very short and my experience of Heraklion at this early stage of my trip is limited, the location couldn't have been better. Very convenient to get to after a very late arrival into Heraklion including a delay. Stella and her family were very responsive with communication and even had a nice cold bottle of water for me upon arrival - most welcome. I was even able to get a meal if i wanted since the restaurants were a short walk. A surprise with a close to midnight arrival.
