As described and gorgeous. Just spent a week at this lovely, peaceful apartment. Defkalion met me at the apartment at 0800; since I had arrived on the overnight ferry this was very helpful. He was very gracious, providing lots of breakfast options and even some delicious homemade liqueur.

The apartment itself has great Wi-Fi and a spectacular terrace with a view of the harbor - well worth climbing those 64 steps! I found the bed quite hard and had trouble sleeping initially, but that may have also been jet lag. Air conditioning worked perfectly.

The apartment is very close to the bus station and ferry terminal and just a few blocks from Heraklion's charming center. It's a great property and I strongly recommend it.
