We arrived late in the evening. It’s 1,3km from the airport. The pedestrian ways are not so good to walk with big luggage. Fortunately, our car company (centauro) gives free rides to their office which is 600m from Zacharias Place. From the accommodation to Heraklion city center it’s 2-3km. You can walk but I recommend taking the bus in front of the house which takes you 10mins to the city center of Heraklion. We had one good night to recover. Room is small and without window but well equipped with AC. You share the bathroom, kitchen, living room with one room next to you. Unfortunately, we had Greek old couple which were very loud at 7am, turning TV very loud and speaking loud despite knowing we were there. So I remembered Zacharias words “geeks are loud” ;) but never mind after 1 hour later they were silent (or left) and we could continue resting until 11 am. Please note it’s close to the airport so air planes are very loud. However in the night no or few planes fly.
Zacharia is a very nice host, has a very good knowledge of any attractions and recommendations in Crete. We can highly recommend this place despite the noises but Zacharia welcomed as very friendly and open so we enjoyed the short time with him. We wish him and his family all the best!
