"Can’t say enough good things about this place. This family run facility is amazing! Rooms are spacious and comfortable. The views were spectacular from our room and the restaurant served really great food. We loved the pool, restaurant and mini-market. The hotel is located 30 minutes northeast of Heraklion so it keeps you away from the busy city. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway at an outstanding value, this is an ideal choice! It’s around 1.6 km to the beach which they offer a daily shuttle service to or you can walk/hike down. Another km beyond is Agia Pelagia beach which has more shopping options. We had a car so we could drive part way down and park away from the crowds."
