We had a lovely 10 days stay at Evelýn's house in august 2014. The house is located in an authentic village (20mn drive from Heraklion) so that you can enjoy quiet mornings and evenings after a busy day visiting the island ( beautiful beaches, Knossos..)
The house is a very easy living one : big spaces, everything you may need, large terrace outside, lovely swimming pool with a view on the vineyards all around.
Evelyn was always available for us for any question, advice. We highly recommend her lovely place ,
