Amazing view, hospitality and accommodation. This is by far the best Airbnb we have stayed in (out of a total of 15 all over the world). Kate and Kostis are remarkable hosts, welcoming and friendly, with useful tips and recommendations. They live upstairs and so are close at hand but the accommodation downstairs is completely seperate and private. The garden, with its million dollar view, is perfect for early morning coffee or lazy afternoon drinks and dinner. We were welcomed with homemade cakes and spanakopita, jam, olive oil, wine and produce from the garden. There was so much food that we had dinner at home two evenings in a row.
Vasilies is a sleepy village not far out of Heraklion, a few shops and a taverna. A great base from which to visit Knossos and other nearby towns. It’s an easy half hour drive to lovely beaches.
The flat itself is large, sparking clean and is super well equipped with everything you would need for your holiday. It might be a little hard to find (the first time) but we had the help of google maps and that took us right there. You would probably need a car if staying here as it might be difficult coming and going without one.
I would definitely recommend this for anyone who wants peace and quite - it truly is unique.
