Michael was an incredible host. Right from the time we were considering his home while planning the vacation to the last day when we were checking out. Communication was fantastic and Michael was accommodating about our arrival time.
The home is very close to Rethymnon;it takes about 15 minutes to reach the town. It is also located at a short drive from Moni Arkadi, the ancient ruins of Eleftheurna, the village of Margarites and of course Rethymnon.
The day we were leaving, he even drove with us at 6:30 in the morning to the port to ensure we got to there ok and on time.
Gerani is a lovely village full of character and warm people. You can have conversations with just about anyone you meet. There is a supermarket and a taverna next door to the home, and the taverna is open late. If you get a chance, you must dine at Staras taverna, which has been family run since the mid 1800s. All in all, a true cretan experience.
