Right on the seafront in Alikarnasos, this ground-floor apartment puts the Cretan Sea at arm's length – literally outside the door. The terrace hot tub is the obvious draw for evenings, when the light drops and the water turns gold, but waking up to uninterrupted sea views from the bedroom window is its own quiet reward. The kitchen and living area open directly onto the terrace, making it easy to move between inside and out. Knossos Palace is an eighteen-minute drive, and a free bus service stopping around 300 metres away connects you to Heraklion city centre without needing a car.

About Heraklion Town
Affectionately dubbed ‘small Athens’, Heraklion is Crete’s largest and most populated city. What started out as a fortified harbour town has grown into a bona fide tourist hotspot, popular for its year-round warm weather and palm-tree-lined seaside promenade. You only have to glance at a photo of its glistening port to understand why this place attracts so many visitors each year, but Heraklion has much more to offer than just...
