Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
If you’re looking for somewhere away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but with easy access to plenty of tourist hotspots, this could be the home for you. Set in a quiet spot, this home sleeps four guests, but bear in mind the second bedroom has a sofa bed, so two guests may draw the short straw here. Still, with a balcony to soak up a spot of Cretan sun, the Palace of Knossos nearby and the beaches of Karteros and Ammoudara a short drive away, this home’s location ticks a lot of boxes.

Home truths
While not all bathrooms are photographed, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
This apartment is located on an upper floor with no lift access. It might not be the best option for those with reduced mobility.
At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the second bedroom.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free. You'll need to request it in advance.
The bedroom curtains here don't fully block out the sunlight. If you're hoping to enjoy a lie-in, you might want to pack an eye mask.

Local guide
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...
