We had a very nice stay in Aspasias flat - It was clean and the view over the harbour with a fantastic sunset every night was spectacular. We did not have a car, and arrived in Heraklion, where Aspasisa father was kind enough to pick up our backpacks, so we could have a day in the city without luggage. Sisi is a great little city, still an authentic holiday village, without big hotels, but still with shops, supermarkets and taverns. It was good fun for our kids to swim in the harbour, and jump in the water from the cliffs. Really value for money, if you are travelling on a tighter budget.
