A dream house. The house is very new and fully renovated. Katerina was an exceptional host and met us at the house even though we arrived around 9 in the evening. As a welcome gift, she filled the fridge with some cheeses, fruits, cold cuts and a nice bottle of wine which was extremely appreciated after a long day of travel. The house is fully equipped, from washing detergent to orange juicer.
The house is located about a 2 hour drive from the port in Heraklio, 30 min walk or less than 6 euro taxi ride from the Old Town (where you will find all the tourist shops and restaurants). You are a 3 min walk away from a cafe that's a great place to grab your morning coffee and pastry. Less than a minute away from the house is a Seafood restaurant that we wanted to try as it was highly recommended by Katerina however its did not fit into our schedule. The house is right on the water in an area that I believe used to be more industrial. There are a lot of old abandoned buildings that are run down however every once in a while you will stumble upon a newly renovated modern home like Katernina's.
During our stay we rented a car, parking was very easy to find.
