Does anybody know of a centrally located internet cafe type place in Heraklion? I'm only going for 1 day and am desperately trying to find a way not to have to haul my laptop around with me.

Thanks,

Ideally under £30 per night and within walking distance of the venetian fort .

Hello friends,

I have a question concerning the 9.45Am Ferry from Heraklion to Santorini because i stay for 3 days in Chania and then i have to go to Heraklion and catch the Ferry to Santorini.

Do you think that leaving Hania in 5.30Am Bus i'll arrive in Heraklion with enough time to Buy the ferry ticket to santorini?
I'm afraid that i cannot find a ticket one hour/half hour before of the depart.
Do you sugest me to sleep that night in Heraklion and then at the other day be early at the port and buy the ticket.

Best regards*

Is there a reasonable way to get from Heraklion, Crete to Tel Aviv on June 24, 2007? We would prefer not to fly back to Athens and make multiple stops on the way, thereby using up a full day to get there. We did find one non-stop on Expedia, but it leaves in the middle of the night.

Are there small plane flights? charters? Ferrys? We are a family of 4.

Hi everyone,

I am travelling to Crete in May and am hoping to visit a friend who will be staying at the Gouves Sea Hotel in Gouves, Crete for a few days. Unfortunately, they are fully booked so I am trying to find a place nearby so that I can hang out with my friend and catch up. Does anyone know this area and a good bang-for-your-buck place to stay? I am a solo traveller without a lot of $$$ and this town looks like a package holiday place (and I am on backpacker budget!)

Thanks for any help from fellow VTers!

Can anyone tell me whether there is a post office in Pefkos, and what the postal address is? I would like to get my post re-directed to Pefkos while I'm there. Thanks

Hi,

Can anybody tell me if they know of anyone near Agi Galini or Matala that hires boats out for a day or two?
I done this before but had to travel to Rethymon, we always stay in Galini and so would like to tour a bit of the shore along the south side.

Me and my hubby are going to relocate to Crete and will be looking to work in an area full of tourists, dealing with tourists etc, mainly english, and hotels etc. Would like to know what area you would suggest to move to. Im going to Chania June for a week to look around, but wondered about Heraklion too.
Any other area you know.
Any help would be great.
