Flora surrounds you in this home, from towering palm trees to shade you when the heat gets too hot to shrubs and green lawn to bounce a ball around with the kids - not to mention the spectacular sea views you can see from your balcony and if you're an early riser, you could even catch the sunrise. After you've gotten your tan on from the sunbed, take a refreshing plunge in the pool and sip on a mojito to get into the holiday spirit. The house itself is traditionally furnished, transporting you back in time to embrace old memories from previous trips. Head to the adjacent little town of Karteros to indulge your athletic side, where you can go horseback riding and enjoy water sports. Go scuba diving to live the experience — an incredible journey full of excitement and sea life. Make your way to Heraklion for breakfast and taste Bougatsa, a delightful cream-filled phyllo pastry with powdered sugar and cinnamon. Party the night away and head to bars in Lions Square – many provide outside seating overlooking the Old Town's historical sites, perfect for when the sunsets.

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...
