Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Heraklion

Super séjour dans le logement, propre de l'arrêt de bus, proche du port, etc... Très bonne communication et un nettoyage irréprochable, c'était très très propre !! Merci pour l'accueil.

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!

Lovely place to stay and well set up - we had a very comfortable couple of days Fabulous to be welcomed with fresh produce most of which was home grown in the fridge and a bottle of wine as well as oils and vinegar and tea and coffee Would definitely stay there again

Το σπίτι ήταν υπέροχο , νέα έπιπλα με ωραίο στυλ , ο οικοδεσπότης ήταν εκεί σε ότι χρειάστηκα !!!

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!!

Manos's place was located at a beautiful ans peaceful location, near the city centre but also at a good distance away from too much crowds. The apartment was as described, and is also clean and spacious. Manos even provided handmade cookies from his father and local Raki for us to try. He was also open to us leaving our luggages in the apartment while it was being cleaned due to our earlier arrival. Overall a very pleasant and lovely experience!

Mai 2025, 10 Nächte Aufenthalt zu dritt (2 Erwachsene, 1 Kleinkind). Die Villa ist wirklich traumhaft. Wunderschöner Blick aufs Meer und die Bucht. Sie bietet sehr viel Platz auch für mehr Personen (2 Paare, 4-6 Freunde, 2 Familien) und für längere Aufenthalte (Stauraum, Schränke und Regale, etc.). Die Ausstattung entspricht der Beschreibung und bietet, auch in der Küche, alles was man brauchen kann. Unser Highlight war die überdachte Terrasse. Unser Flug wurde kurzfristig vorverlegt. Ein deutlich früherer Check-In war in unserem Fall überhaupt kein Problem. Stelios ist ein sehr freundlicher, hilfsbereiter und engagierter Gastgeber. Wir empfehlen Ihn und seine Villa ohne Einschränkung weiter. Kleine Einschränkung: die Unterkunft ist etwas ab vom Schuss bzw. die Region ist etwas zersiedelt (hauptsächlich wegen der Geographie des Geländes). Ohne eigenes Auto wird es etwas schwierig unserer Meinung nach. Einen kostenfreien Parkplatz direkt am Haus gibt es aber.

Great appartement near the centre but in a very quiet street. Very good size with air conditioning and a little outside terrace for sitting in the evening (shared with the flat across). The only slight problem is the fridge turns off when you leave the flat. But great place, nice and clean :)

Very spacious, modern apt with a beautiful balcony. The street noise below made it difficult to sit out and talk there, but the view of the ocean was very nice. Well appointed kitchen. Very clean and neat. Mihalis gave us a great recommendation for dinner nearby that was lovely. We had a nice stay here

Merci à notre hôte pour son accueil ! Communication facile, réponses rapides et de bons conseils tout au long du séjour. Il nous a recommandé le restaurant Siga Siga où nous avons bien mangé pour seulement 35€ à deux — une chouette adresse à retenir ! 🤩 Bonne continuation et merci encore !

een vriendelijk en persoonlijk ontvangst. geen kluisje met een nummer, maar gewoon een persoonlijke overhandiging van de sleutel en uitleg van apparatuur. kwamen laat aan, maar de host had al wat brood, beleg en een fles water geregeld. heerlijk aankomen dus. vaatwasser en wasmachine inbegrepen, dus kon lekker hardlopen en de vuile kleding hup de wasmachine in gooien. host vroeg halverwege de vakantie nog hoe het ging en of we nog iets nodig hadden. locatie is geweldig en snorkelen voor de deur in de zee. het ontbrak aan niets.

Great Airbnb in a super central location, well equipped with everything you need. Comfy bed and really clean space too. The only small downside was that it lacks a bit of natural light, but since we didn’t spend much time in the apartment, it wasn’t an issue for us. Definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a good stay in Heraklion!

Good price. Clean and massive. Made walking to the port easy!

We absolutely loved this place! Location was perfect! it has all the amenities/ extras you could ask for. Our hostess, Maria, was wonderful & very helpful!! I highly recommend this Airbnb!! Lisa

We highly recommend the property. It is clean and well looked after. The location is great within easy walking distance of the centre of the City and all it offers. It is also on one of the main routes round the City which means if you have a car you do not have to deal with narrow, city centre roads. We hired a car and parked in the car part next to the apartment which was really convenient and reasonably priced. The down side to the location is that there is a lot of traffic noise when sitting on the balcony but that is to be expected. Once you shut the doors it is very quiet inside. There is a quiet air-conditioning unit in the bedroom which was great given we had some unseasonably high temperatures while we were there. Manos & Klelia where great at responding to any questions we had, If we were to Heraklion we who try and stay there again.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. Giannis was an excellent host. He welcomed us with a warm pastry, fresh fruits, wine and bottled water. The apartment had everything we needed. The location was perfect. We had a car and having our own parking space was fantastic. We traveled to different areas of the island and it was a convenient home base. Giannis gave us several recommendations from restaurants to beautiful beaches, and they were all great. We especially enjoyed the terrace. It has a beautiful view of the sea and it is very peaceful. We watched the sunrise a few mornings and it was breathtaking. A highlight of the stay was Hamlet, Giannis dog! He was there to welcome us and visited us daily. We would not hesitate to stay there again. It is a beautiful place and you won’t be disappointed.

Christina a été très aimable et très réactive ! Je vous conseille son logement car la qualité prix est sûrement hors concurrence ! Merci à elle encore pour l’accueil et la beauté de son logement ! Si l’occasion se présente, je relouerai pour sûr !

La casa era molto pulita e in centro alla città vecchia di Heraklion. La posizione permetteva di spostarsi comodamente in tutta l'isola. L'unico problema sono stati i parcheggi: ad Heraklion sono disponibili solo a pagamento. Tuttavia, l'host é stato così gentile da consigliarci prontamente un posto dove lasciare l'auto a poco prezzo. Complessivamente é stata un'ottima esperienza e l'host é stato molto disponibile e cordiale.

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

We had a lovely stay at Sofia and her father Georgios' apartment - we particularly enjoyed the 2 balconies and the great location for the city centre. Good view over similar height buildings all around on three sides (5 floors with small lift). There was a delay replying to messages 2wks before (important as wanted to confirm they knew we were due to arrive late) but once that was sorted Georgios was lovely, meeting and chatting to us even though we arrived at midnight and providing a baby pram and cot. The apartment was as described and well looked after, though some doors were hard to shut, both bedroom black-out blinds bit stuck (so light) and some fittings from the 70s. It would have been good to have some bottled water on arrival (as we didn't want to drink tap water) but lots of condiments, shower gel, washing machine etc provided. A few mosquitos, initially none, after we watered the plants (in Oct) but good aircon in 3 rooms. It was good value and I would book again.

The apartment was very neat. We enjoyed the style and amenities of the room. The bathroom was very interesting and the room felt “high-tech”. We liked that we were right next to a mini market as well as walkable to the port and close to the airport and archeological museum. Parking was not too bad. The only downside was really how loud it was at night from street traffic. I recommend the room though for individuals or couples.

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

Το σπίτι είναι ομορφο και πεντακάθαρο. Η Καλλια εχει βάλει μεσα ολα οσα μπορεί να χρειαζεται κάποιος για να νιώσει άνετα και σαν το σπιτι του. Εξαιρετική επικοινωνία. Το συστήνω φουλ❤️

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.
