Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
You’ll find this home perched on the hilltop in Agia Pelagia, overlooking the Aegean Sea. While the interior is a little dated, it’s clean and functional – and we’re certain you’ll be spending most of your time outside. The terrace is complete with a private infinity pool, sun loungers, a dining area, a barbecue, and an endless view of the blue sea. If you’re looking for a day at the beach – you’ll find the sandy Agia Pelagia beach a short drive down the hill.

Home truths
Your host operates several apartments here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.
Though there's enough bed space for five people here, we think it might feel a little cramped. We'd recommend a maximum guest count of four.
The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
The swimming pool isn't fenced.
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay – there's free parking on the premises.

You only have to glance at a photo of its glistening port to understand why this place attracts so many visitors each year, but Heraklion has much more to offer than just...
