We loved Tamara's place. She was friendly, hospitable and communication was very easy. It is a spacious place and suited us as a family very well indeed. Lots of lovely balconies and shaded areas for different times of day. We used it as a base for lots of day trips - to Heraklion, walking up Juktas Mountain (start at the Amenospilia site 5 mins drive from the house), evenings in Archanes, beaches to west and east of Heraklion and to the Lasithi plateau (where the Karfi circuit walk from Tzermiado was wonderful). Would definitely recommend!
