Classy Villa, Travel Guide, Heraklion

!--carousel(2121)--!

Byen har omkring 120.000 indbyggere og er den femte største by i Grækenland. Heraklion var i tidliger tider havn for Knossos, men først i den 9.århundrede blev byen grundlagt af sacenserne.

Heraklion blev center for slavehandel i middelhavsområdet, men blev hurtigt overtaget af venetianerne, som byggede store fæstningsmure kaldet Kandax, som senere blev omskrevet til Candia. Gennem fire århundreder under venetiansk besættelse af Kreta, opførtes mange bygninger med udmærket eksempler på den venetianske arkitektur på den tid, og mange af dem eksisterer den dag i dag.

Basilica di San Marco og Loggia er to eksempler, mens Morozini springvandet blot har lagt navn til det centrale torv i byen.

Heraklion er meget priviligeret i dag, ved af have sit statslige kendte Knossos der er den mest prominente by i fra den minoiske tid. Direkte forbundet med Knossos er Heraklions arkæologiske musæum der ikke kun har de fleste fund fra Knossos, men også fra andre minoiske paladser som Phaestos i syd, Malia i øst og Zakros i det aller yderste østlige Kreta.

"The property is spectacular and had all the amenities we expected, plus more. The pool was welcomed on the hot days, and they were very prompt with coming out when the filter stopped running. Archanes is an amazing town, with street parking all very close and Bakaliko is recommended for a wine tasting and dinner. I would stay here again in a second, and hope to return on our next trip to Crete. Highly recommend."

"Absolutely perfect! This house in Archanes is perfect - a beautiful house, very well equipped, perfectly positioned two minutes walk from the central square in Archanes, which in turn - for the archaeologists among us - is itself perfectly located a stone's throw from Knossos."

John

"We stayed with our family of 5 and it was perfect for what we needed. Cool bedrooms below for the children and we stayed in the room above. Lovely pool area with bbq. Great location to restaurants with a bakery next door. Communication with hoists were outstanding. I would highly recommend. We had an amazing holiday."

Christopher

United Kingdom
"The house has character within it's stone walls. You can tell from the decoration and furnishing that it was inhabited for a long time by Cretans. It works as well as a holiday house. The kitchen is stocked very well, you will find everything you need. The pool is very refreshing and the garden really quiet. The house provides a lot of space for a family of 4 or more. The location is perfect on one of the main streets in the village (next to a great bakery). "

Silke Schwind - Aman

Mohamed

"The villa itself is amazing: really spacious and well-appointed, with a wonderful pool - perfect for a family wishing to relax, spread out, have fun and reconnect."

Pete

United Kingdom
"We had a wonderful 2 weeks in Archanes, hosts made it very easy and always responsive if needed. Also provided lots of useful local knowledge. Archanes has great character, it feels very authentic but still with local restaurants and supermarkets accessible and catering for non Greek speakers. You do need a car as rural setting and be prepared for narrow streets and local traffic."
