We are a family of four that lives just outside Heraklion the capital of the beautiful island of Crete. There are many things to do, either you go to the centre of the town where and explore the capital of Crete, or you can explore the beautiful beaches, villages and other towns of Crete. If you like shopping there are many shops nearby. In our area is the touristic place of Ammoudara with shops, restaurant, hotels, bars e.t.c. You can know the first civilization in Europe (Minnonien civilization 2800-1300 b.c.) and the archeological site of Knossos Malia Phestos, museums…
We live in a large house (140 square meters) located in a very quiet part of the town next to the sea (200m), 8 mn from city center by car. We own this house for 11 years and everything has been renewed now. You will find inside all conveniences for a family. Three bedrooms, shower and washing machines. The neighbourhood is very friendly and you can be sure they will help you if it’s necessary.
