Nicos' house is in Tylissos, a beautiful, ancient cretan village very close to Heraklion. The house has a great outside patio with an excellent mountain view. Our family had breakfast always outside in the shade of the elderberry tree. The interior of the house has a traditional cretan decoration that made us feel at home. Our three children could sleep in the same room like they use to do at home. The house is well equipped, with all the necessary appliances like washing mashine and dishwasher for a longer stay. From Tylissos we could easily access the most famous tourist and family attractions in and around Heraklion, like the Archeological Museum, Knossos, Cret@kvarium, Dinosaur park, Labyrinth park, Ostrich farm and Snail farm. Nicos and his mother were really helpful and gave great suggestions about beaches, supermarkets and restaurants nearby. They also helped us when we needed to print out our boarding passes. We can only recommend Nicos' house and Tylissos and encourage other families to have a memorable vacation in Crete like we did.
