Ariadni Apartments  

In Karteros, Heraklion — a family-friendly, self-catering base just 250 metres from Karteros Beach. Minutes from Amnissos and Xenia beaches, close to Watercity Waterpark, the Natural History Museum of Crete, Knossos and the Hall of the Double Axes. Nikos Kazantzakis Airport is about 3 km away and Heraklion city centre is reachable in roughly 12 minutes by bus.

Ariadni Apartments is a small aparthotel with around 10 air-conditioned units set among well-tended gardens. Rooms feature tiled or stone floors, kitchenettes (fridge, mini oven and cooking hobs), flat-screen TVs, daybeds and private furnished terraces or balconies that open onto the garden. Daily housekeeping and English‑speaking staff keep things easy; a horse riding club sits about 500 metres away.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi in public areas, free on-site self-parking, a sunny terrace and garden. Supermarket, bakery, pharmacy and bus stop are steps away, and the beach is a short walk — wake up to sea-breeze mornings. Self-catering kitchenettes let you set your own schedule.

Complimentary wireless internet and free self-parking. Front desk is staffed during limited hours.

No formal on-site restaurant, but nearby tavernas serve local Cretan dishes and there’s a supermarket and bakery close by. The in-room kitchenettes make it easy to cook and sample regional flavors on your own timetable.
