With one of the best locations in Herakleion, this home overlooks the shimmering Cretan Sea. It happens to also be wedged between the Historical Museum and The Natural History Museum, ideal for families looking for a cultural injection. The soft sand of Ammoudara Beach is a short drive away, but you'll find shops by walking for only a few minutes. The home is bright and boasts a small outdoor area with a barbecue and seating. Though bathrooms are a little dated, they're well-kept. And besides, we think sunset drinks on the small balcony more than make up for it.

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...
