Dimitris is a great host, very attentive, always ready to help. I believe his apartments are the best place to get the atmosphere of the town - you can see the whole Ierapetra bay and the fortress from its balcony (even Chrissi island is visible sometimes), hear the waves at nights and get the pedestrian street ambience as the citizens have their evening stroll.
Great base for exploring the east south beaches of Crete (they are definitely worth visiting!). Highly recommended.
