“Lovely apartment in a nice small town, conveniently located for Knossos Palace”
The apartment has a nice big main room with living space, kitchen and dining area, plus two separate outdoor spaces to enjoy the sun, with a lovely view of the mountains from the main terrace. It's an easy walking distance to nearby restaurants and supermarkets. It's a straightforward drive to free parking at Knossos (from where you can get a public bus to the Heraklion Museum) and we never had a problem getting a parking space near the apartment.
