Scalarea Estate Residences
Very nice room with a lovely view over the vines. Breakfast was wonderful and generous with everything homemade, served on the private terrace. A short drive to tavernas in the local villages, and only about 15 mins into Heraklion.

A house by the sea.
We loved staying in Tsoutsouros- the house was perfect for our family- v. close to the sea with everything we needed. Lots of good cafes and restaurants nearby. We really enjoyed the meal Eleni cooked for us.
