Athina and Costas were very welcoming hosts that always spoiled us with homemade bread, olive oil, wine, raki and fresh fruit from the garden. We were invited to share a delicious traditional meal from their stone oven and once in a while they would bring small snacks or meals that they cooked to try. We were in culinary heaven!
The apartment was a spacious, tidy and comfortable home base for our 3 weeks holiday and we couldn’t have asked for more. They can also recommend great day trips and food places. The famous CretAquarium, Knossos Palace and very nice beaches are around the corner. Only the closest beach has been occupied by the adjacent hotel even though it should be public - so a car to get around is necessary.
This was the perfect spot for us to discover the Heraklion and Chersonissos area and also the rest of the island, especially with young kids - always a calm and relaxing home to come back to after a busy day. We had a wonderful time in Dion House and would always come back!
