On the general subject of where to stay, we're just back from a week at the Limani apartments, beside the Cretan goods shop behind Ostraco, and they were fine. Spacious, clean, well-equipped. Not much in the way of sunshine on the balconies in the evening but it was a fine excuse for lingering in the Candia coffee shop for another latte and baklava. And Limani guests get 10% discount in the shop, which is always handy! And Sofia in the shop is a sweetheart.
