The owners are very pleasant people, and they take a very good care of their place as well as of you when you choose their apartment. The aparment is renovated and equiped in a pleasant style which let you feel like at home. It is very close to the organised beach - just a few meter walk to find first sunbeds and umbrellas where you can stay all day if you order a drink. Big supermarket is also a walkable distance as well as main street of Amoudara. It is quite close to the Heraklion sea promenade and if you like longer walk you can reach even the city centre (or you take taxi or public bus if you do not have rental car). I definitely recommend Ioanna's place if you want to be close to the beach as well as city, but have a quiet place for yourself.
