“The apartments make a solid base for exploring Heraklion and the Palace of Knossos; I particularly like the self-catering setup with fully equipped kitchens. Though some rooms require navigating stairs, the convenience of on-site car rentals and proximity to bus stops is a definite plus. For travellers who value independence and a quiet retreat after a day of sightseeing, this could be just the ticket.”
