The moment we were met by Dimtris and his sister Eleftheria at Heraklion airport we were impressed by the warmth and friendship of both. The family live on the ground floor of their three story building and we met their parents Stavros and Polumnia . Our apartment was a delightful rooftop apartment with a 360 degree terrace giving us a view over a large part of the city.

The apartment is very well equipped, kitchen utensils, beautiful linen and was as advertised on airbnb. We arrived late in the afternoon so appreciated the stocking of the fridge with milk and other items to tide us through until we got to a supermarket. Especially memorable was the welcome gift of Raki (a local spirit made from the must of grapes) and wonderful local sweets, olives and wine - all made by the Flouris family.

The Flouris family were so incredibly hospitable that we felt we were sharing their family life for the week we were in Crete not renting an apartment. We shared a Cretan meal with them which was a very special occasion for us.

The apartment is close to a large supermarket and local bus services into the centre of the city.

Here as in other parts of Greece we were blown away by the genuine warmth and hospitality we received.

We wholeheartedly recommend staying at this apartment. If we could give an 11/10 score we would!
