Skafidaras lies between Heraklion and Rethymno, so the property sits within easy reach of both cities and the resorts along the north coast.

Heraklion is the nearest major city, and the island's ferry and catamaran links to Piraeus, Rafina and other islands run through its port, though winter services are fewer.
Greek is the main language, written in the Greek alphabet, which also appears on road signs and menus. Monk seals and loggerhead turtles live around the islands, and many have protected nesting beaches, so visitors should respect marked areas on the sand.
