This charming apartment in the quaint village of Benitses is the perfect place for embracing a slower pace of life. It draws you in for a getaway of fresh cups of coffee on the flowery balcony, leisurely walks to the nearby sandy beach, and afternoons spent exploring the village. There's everything you need here for a comfortable stay. Despite the apartment being on the cosy side, the bedroom is beautifully spacious and the kitchen is surprisingly well-equipped. We love how the kitchen and bathroom take on a more modern look with new appliances and sparkling surfaces, while the bedroom is more traditional and cosy. You'll love waking up and stepping straight out onto your balcony, listening to the songs of the early birds and feeling the warmth of the morning glow. When you want to explore, you're just 100 metres away from the sugary white beaches of Benitses. Relax on a sun lounger while sipping on a nice cold Mythos, occasionally taking a dip in the turquoise waters. If you get itchy feet, the traditional fishing village is one with a long history, which you discover as you wander around its cobbled streets. If you fancy something more strenuous, then the area is full of excellent hiking trails among the lush greenery. You're likely to spot some beautiful hidden churches along the way, too. After a day well spent, nothing beats a crisp glass of wine on your balcony, before heading out to sample the village's famous seafood.

About Heraklion Town
Affectionately dubbed ‘small Athens’, Heraklion is Crete’s largest and most populated city. What started out as a fortified harbour town has grown into a bona fide tourist hotspot, popular for its year-round warm weather and palm-tree-lined seaside promenade. 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...
