The ruins of the palace of Knossos are spectacular. You are able to walk around and through the majority of the rooms and get some great pictures. Definitely worth a visit and I'd also recommend going to the archaeological museum in Heraklion which is about 5km from Knossos, you can get a combined ticket for 16 euros!

"I felt at home immediately, and it`s seems bigger than on the pictures, very comfy bed and two bathrooms/shower with toilet. Kitchen was fully equiped. I found lots of goodies - herbs, tea, coffee shampoo,bodylotion etc.. But bring your own repellent the outdoor pool attractive for mosquitos. Very nice sitting area outside to relax and enjoy the pool. Vivi offered a shuttle servis from the parkinglot to the house, a steep 100 m walk. She drove my luggage with her Mini up to the house. Unusual...

"J’ai passé 2 jours dans l’appartement dont la vue est à couper le souffle ! Très propre, avec des places de parking gratuites à proximité du logement. Kalia a été très disponible et a pu répondre à toutes mes questions. Je reviendrai sans hésiter :)"

"The place is great value for money if you want to stay by the sea and have 3 bedrooms. It is clean and well equipped. The outside area is wonderful. Especially good was that the cook ware was really usable (it often isn't in holiday homes), the well working washing machine and that there were plenty of towels. "

"Very nice modern house in a more quiet rural district. It is equipped with all you need for an independent vacation, all new and well maintained. I was there on “workation” and the internet connection was suitable for doing remote work. Markets, restaurants and bus stations are reachable by foot. The owning local family is very lovely and considerate. The accommodation was stocked with some essentials at my arrival and they provided me with every assistance I needed, such as airport transfer,...

"Very nice host, very nice and warm home "

"I can't say anything more, than it was great. Dimitris and his family are the most heartwarmed and lovely people that you can imagine. The house is just perfect for traveling around the island and have a drink in the garden in the afternoon. It was just great and we can truly recommened it to everyone who wants to visit Crete. Thanks Dimitris. :)"

"Que dire si ce n'est que nous avons passé deux fabuleuses semaine. La maison est confortable et nous avons surtout profité d'un extérieur paradisiaque.On se sent comme à la maison il y a des animaux et les chiens sont adorables le coq est sympa et ne chante pas trop tôt Enfin le meilleur pour la fin l'hôte Vagelis et sa femme sont des gens en or , toujours à l'écoute et de bon conseil sans compter le lait de chèvre et les oeufs offert et le panier de bienvenue"

"Schon mal in Kreta gewesen? Schon mal überlegt so richtig entspannen? Dann sind sie hier richtig. Der Ausblick ist wundervoll, ein Strand direkt vor dem Balkon. Und das beste, jede Menge andere Strände in der Nähe. Im Haus ist alles was man braucht Die Bette sind groß und alles ist sauber. Nur die Dusche ist etwas klein geraten. Tavernen erreicht man mit dem Auto in 5 bis 10 min. Wir sind oft zum Essen ins Hinterland oder zum Hafen 6km in Richtung Herakolon gefahren. Dort sind die Portionen...

"Geschmack- und liebevoll eingerichtetes Ferienhaus mit sensationellem Blick über die Bucht von Heraklion. Sehr ruhig in einem kleinen Dorf gelegen. Gastgeberin Niki ist eine sehr aufgeschlossene, herzliche und gebildete Dame, die einem jederzeit mit Tipps und Ratschlägen zur Verfügung steht. Gastfreundschaft wird bei ihr wirklich ganz groß geschrieben. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und kommen gerne wieder! Herzlichen Dank!"

"We were overwelmed by the facilities and the extras the hostess provided such as decor, amenities, extra food and drink like fruit coffe and cake, would highly recommend!"

"Our host Aristeides and his wife were terrific. Very helpful and provided good suggestions. The villa was truly spectacular, better than expected. Very clean and good location. A five minute walk is a small market and also a very friendly restaurant. The Greek food was delicious. We went back on our final night to have some wine, beer and stuffed grape leaves. "
