Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Xeropotamos

We had a great stay at this apartment near Heraklion. It was very clean, quiet, and perfectly located—just a short walk to the intercity bus station for day trips to places like Malia, Hersonissos, Agios Nikolaos, Rethymno, and Chania. The local bus station is also nearby, with easy access to beaches and Knossos Palace. The owner was very welcoming and left us local raki and fresh fruit on arrival. Highly recommended!

We can highly recommend this accommodation. It's tucked away in a very secluded spot, which makes it wonderfully peaceful. At the same time, you can reach restaurants and a mini market in just a few minutes. A car is essential! The garden is stunning. The biodiversity is incredible. There's always something new to discover. The house is quite small and simply furnished, but that was absolutely fine. Everything was clean, and that's what matters most. The long driveway leading to the house can be a bit intimidating—it just slopes down without any railing or guard. But that’s just part of the Cretan charm. Giannis was always very friendly and helpful—thank you for everything! We also got to know the neighboring family and even visited them. Such kind people. And the animals! Aphroditi the horse, a peacock, chickens, and turkeys—our daughter loved them. Overall a great experience. We were very happy and would definitely recommend it. Who knows—maybe we’ll be back in a few years!

Very good stay in the proposed home. The house was clean and spacious, the host was always responsive and very friendly. I highly recommend it for future trips to Crete!

La Luna Sweet is a great place for everyone. We were there for a week and it was perfect ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Maria greeted us in person and took care of everything. Thank you so much and we wish you wonderful guests

The house was great , new furniture with nice style , the host was there for everything I needed !!!

We stayed as a family of six, four adults and two children (8 and 5). The set up was really comfortable and worked perfectly for us. The outdoor pool area is great and our two kids loved it - especially as there were lots of inflatables left to play with. We arrived at 3am. Xristos offered to meet us, but when we suggested with young children we'd prefer just to get in and get to bed, then meet up after it was no problem at all. We had instructions to call when we arrived, and the gate was opened for us. We were blown away by how well supplied the house was. Xristos was in touch in the week before to check if we needed anything in particular and couldn't have been more helpful in making sure we had everything we needed to start our holiday. Then we had a delivery of local fruit and wild artichokes as they were in season. Amazing. There was a dust storm before we arrived. Xristos promptly sorted this too. A great and relaxed place to stay, with an unbelievably good host. Thanks!

We loved the location that included easy access, a wonderful kitchen, dining living room and a fantastic terrace/balcony that provided comfortable seating to enjoy the view and activities on the walking street below. Xanthi's place had great charm and we loved her grandmother's paintings which provided a special character to her place. We would definitely stay at Xanthi's when we return to a suprizingly walkable and comfortable Heraklion!!

This property is on the top of our list of all of the Super-host level properties we’ve been at whether Air B&B or any other platform. Premium quality and high marks for design aesthetics promoting maximum relaxation inside or in the yard with breathtaking views all day long and spectacular sunsets. All meals at the property must be had out doors! It was a perfect retreat after long days of sightseeing. We would rent it again in a heartbeat and will recommend it to family. John & Autumn

A well designed and furnished apartment perfect for a few nights in Heraklion.

Very clean place, well located! Very kind host, thoughtful and respectful! I'll go for it again!

everything was perfect, thanks a lot

The apartment was really central, everything very easily walkable. It's also close to both the airport and the port, so the location was ideal. The apartment itself was clean and exactly like the pictures, so we had a lovely stay!

Very nice, comfortable and clean apartment. Relatively close to the center. Very good owner in her service. Everything is very good.

Great place, as described and clean.

We had an amazing stay. The place is lovely, clean and Χριστινα was very nice and welcoming. Would definitely recommend!

The views of the port are absolutely gorgeous!! The apartment itself is clean and comfortable. You feel right at home. Alex himself is super responsive and easy to communicate with. He was there to greet us when we arrived and provided many helpful recommendations. It is very easy to walk to shopping and great restaurants. Dinner at Peskesi and Apiri are a must. If you want to go further there's always a taxi waiting at the roundabout just outside. The airport, Knossos palace and many beaches are all only 10 minutes away. Sailing excursions leave right from the port.

Great location in the heart of town. We had an incredible night staying here and being able to explore the local neighbourhood. Lots to do around the unit. We found parking within a block that was free street parking and didn’t mind carrying luggage up the stairs to the unit. The balcony is surprisingly private even though there is a neighbour across the way. Thank you for hosting!! 🌟 🌟

Great and very nice place with a lovely view. Close to the Lion square.

Sofia and her dad Giorgos were great hosts, from meeting, explaining and taking the time to make great recommendations to checking in often, very much appreciated! We loved Iraklio (and Heraklion) and the flat had what the 4 of us needed to enjoy our stay. We spent our mornings and evenings on the decks and loved eating outside and drinking beverages. The recommendation for the Peskesi farm to table restaurant was spot on! The restaurant/cafes options in walking distance of the flat are plentiful and every place we tried was good. We walked everywhere, and took a city bus to the wonderful beach by the airport and the ferry excursion to Santorini one day. The archaeological museum is a stand out, and the history museum and Venetian Fortress were also great sites. Ended up skipping Knossos as the artifacts found were in the archaeological museum, so no opinion on that. We shall return to Crete some time and when staying in the area would gladly book with Sofia!

We stayed one night at Alexis’ apartment before we head to Chania, it’s a cosy and quiet place, close to everything, Alexis is very supportive and responsive, giving some good suggestions for local restaurants, we tried two, both are great, thanks for the local advices, giving us some unforgettable experience here.

Amazing property and very well furnished. The surrounding area is different than what was expected but nonetheless, the property itself was fantastic. Very comfortable and cozy 10/10.

Everything about our stay was perfect. Kostis was incredibly kind, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything we needed. The location was absolutely amazing and close to everything we wanted to see. The place itself was clean, comfortable and had the best view. I would definitely book it again in the future and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay

Susanna is a great host definitely recommend her. she has a spacious sunny clean place with a small backyard at a non touristic part of the island. always responsive and accommodative.

Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay and didn't want to leave. This is one place that was better than the photos. There are a few rules such as take off your shoes, be mindful of water usage and electricity although none of these bothered us as we have family that live on well water in Texas. The location is very walkable about 15 minutes to city center and helps us with all the food we eat on vacation. Great place if you plan on being in Heraklion and highly recommend a stay
