We really enjoyed our 2 week stay in Kokkini Hani which is a great place, central, 10 min from Heraklion airport. Manolis and his family received us very warmly with lots of suggestions, maps, information, some fruits and a bottle of wine; every question and request has been answered to within 5 minutes. The studio is well equipped and clean - with everything you'll need to make food and make yourself comfortable during your stay. The small private terrace at the back is just amazing. Manolis even arranged for us to use the washing machine of one of the appartments which we much appreciated.
+ the Bus station is within a 1 minute walk - busses are running regularly every 15-20 minutes
+ the supermarket just down the studio on the right hand side is open every day until 00.00
+ the beach is within 2 minute walking distance - a set of 2 beach chairs with umbrella is available for 4 € at the Haris bar as well as any kind of refreshments
What I'd also like to mention is, that the Cretan people are totally warm, friendly and happy to welcome every tourist (yes, also the Germans) on their island. The problems Greece has to deal with at the moment are not dampening that! All in all we can only recommend this studio wholeheartedly and without any reservation :)
Thank you for everything Evi & Manolis. Looking forward to seeing you again
