Highly recommended!
We wanted to stay outside of Heraklion for a more peaceful and quiet experience outside of the city but also be able to commute in for a ferry in under 30 mins. This villa fit the bill.
Charming is an understatement. This quirky home is on a cliff with panoramas of city ocean and olive groves… cats and goats roosters are heard in the distance. Getting to the Airbnb is easy (for Crete standards) but highly recommend following Minas excellent advice on navigating first to Archanes so the gps routes you through the easiest way.
Once there, Minas greeted us warmly with many special extras including champagne because of our honeymoon and gluten free bread for my wife. He is friendly and very fast to respond. In the end we wish we stayed longer than one night.
Also Minas being a chef recommended great restaurants…. We visited wineries then olive mint for the best moussaka I’ve had in my life! For very cheap too!
The house is well equipped with what you need but it is still “rural” and “rustic” but if that’s what you are looking for — quiet peaceful and out of the way then look no further.
Would return!
