“My niece & I felt like family with Eva. Her Heraklion history was v interesting as we sipped coffee & looked at the buildings. A committed olive farmer, she made us aware of local Cretan pride in good food organic agriculture & low food miles. Of course we enjoyed the food & wine! It would be helpful to others if your company nominated eg ‘Museum’ or ‘pharmacy’ or ‘cinema’ as a meeting spot as the square is v busy & has current renovations going on.”
