I stayed 3 months in Despoina’s house with my family. Despoina is a very kind person with a great hospitality. The house is very well equiped with a good working AC, nice garden and a kitchen with almost everything you need. Rooms are very clean with nice furnitures. The house is very near to beach, restaurants and bus station. It takes just 10 min to reach the center of Heraklion by bus. There are bakery, pharmacy and supermarkets around. I strongly recommend this house for those who would like to stay in Amaudara. Amaudara beach may be sometimes windy with waves and if you consider to go to other beaches with less waves, you will need a car.
