Lovely Villa
This was the best experience we could ever have imagined. Property manager was wonderful. Such a nice man who was so welcoming and helpful. The property was just beautiful, better than the pictures represented. Couldn’t have had a better 50th anniversary.

Maybe the best home rental near Heraklion ever!
Imagine a beautiful gated private family home on an elevated site full of olive and fruit trees where you can look out over all of Heraklion and the Mediterranean from the upper patio. If you prefer to stay outside Heraklion, just a few minutes from Knossos, this is the perfect place to stay. The house is beautifully and fully furnished with all that anyone could ask for. It is clean and looks like it was built 2 years ago, although in fact it was built in 1996. The owner is a friendly and warm person and the refrigerator was full of items we needed. If you are fortunate to find this property available for your dates, look no further and grab it. Just arrive using the driving instructions from the manager, drop your stuff and head into Heraklion for lunch at Peskesis, just a block from the easy Central Parking lot. The Heraklion Archaeoleogical Museum is a short walk away even though we missed it after a long lunch, as it closes at 3:30pm. Everything about our stay was perfect and I don't think we have ever been more comfortable. If I could think of anything critical to say, I would. There is simply no room for improvement...what an unexpected and greatly appreciated pleasure! If I were staying for a month and touring Crete by car, this house would be the perfect base as it is so comfortable. Thank you, Minas, for having us as guests and treating us so well! Also, thank you for all of the excellent restaurant suggestions!
