How To Find Us
If coming by car from Heraklion airport, head
for the main coastal highway and turn right onto the highway, signposted
RETHYMNON / CHANIA. After about 12 kilometers take the right turn off the
highway, signposted GAZI. At the end of the slip road drive straight across
and keep on going until you come to the junction at the end of the road
where you will turn right onto the main street of AMOUDARA. With the sea on
your left, keep driving along the main street of Amoudara until you see
“Athens Cars” (car rental office) also on your left. A few metres on you
will see “Uncle George Taverna”, also on your left, at the side of the
Uncle George Taverna take the road to the left "NAXOU STREET", a few metres
down the road you will see Yannis Apartments to your right on the corner of
the next street named "KO 1 STREET"".
If arriving by bus from the airport,
this is the cheapest way to get here. The ride from the airport till Yannis
apartments approximately takes 20 - 25 minutes (it depends on traffic). You
can ask the bus driver to show you the first bus stop after "Technopolis"
(a big cinema centre) and you should get off there. You will then turn
right (to the beach) to Naxou street and after 2 minutes walk you will turn
right to Ko street and you will see "Yannis apartments" on your left hand..
