A fantastic get away close to Heraklion in Crete. A lovely hideaway house in a reasonably sized village with handful of shops and tavernas about 20 mins from the airport (but no sight or sounds of planes).
Stayed with friends and the place is so large, you can have your own space without being on top of one another.
The pool is a great feature, and we learned to love the dual use of both the courtyard and the garden/pool area.
We will miss watching the "helidona" (swifts and swallows) dipping into the pool to drink and their aerial acrobatics (we took to scoring them ;-)
Great place if you want to get away from the Coast and enjoy a slice of "real" Crete.
