This property was so close to transport (bus over road to Knossos) and a minute to bus station for other Crete cities. Close walk to old town, etc.

If you get a chance, visit the traditional restaurant, Peskesi. What amazing food - organic and delicious! We loved the olive oil tasting and the different interpretation of traditional dishes - YUM! And the staff were fantastic.
