A nice house in Heraklion,Crete
We are a family of four that lives just outside Heraklion the capital of the beautiful island of Crete. There are many things to do, either you go to the centre of the town where and explore the capital of Crete, or you can explore the beautiful beaches, villages and other towns of Crete. If you like shopping there are many shops nearby. In our area is the touristic place of Ammoudara with shops, restaurant, hotels, bars e.t.c. You can know the first civilization in Europe (Minnonien civilization 2800-1300 b.c.) and the archeological site of Knossos Malia Phestos, museums…
We live in a large house (140 square meters) located in a very quiet part of the town next to the sea (200m), 8 mn from city center by car. We own this house for 11 years and everything has been renewed now. You will find inside all conveniences for a family. Three bedrooms, shower and washing machines. The neighbourhood is very friendly and you can be sure they will help you if it’s necessary.
This summer we are looking for an exchange in August, for 14 days.
We have also another home renovated recently in the south of Heraklion 50 Km from hear, near Phestos, Matala, Moires. The name of village is Faneromeni (you can see in the map 35.073177, 24.832256). The sea is 5 Km away from the village. Is 180 m square with 3 bedrooms, kitchen, a large garden, with beautiful view, it’s a very peaceful village. In this place there is a beautiful whether in autumn the temperature is like the summer. You can exchange with this house or rend it, excepted maybe Christmas and August. We are open to accept famillies with children in the same age with our children, in the village, because our children want to practice their English and make new friends
