Sofia Hotel - Heraklio Town
The sun dipped below the horizon, painting the white walls of Oia in shades of pink and gold. Eleni sat on her private balcony, a glass of local wine in hand, feeling the warm Aegean breeze. She had found this hidden gem of an apartment just steps away from the ancient ruins. Every morning, the scent of wild thyme and salty sea air greeted her. From the marble streets of Athens to the turquoise waters of Crete, her journey was a dream. This wasn't just a trip; it was a home in paradise.
