Last minute! Thats how I always travel. Booked my AirBnB pretty much on route to Μανώλης’s place. I got an almost intstant response. Showed up and he was waiting for us on the street of his traditional Cretan village. Very kind gentle man showed us his renovated house to suite traditional aspects of olden Cretan times. Showed us where the 2 minute walk was to the Taverna was which had spot-on local cuisine. Μανώλης even visited us at the Taverna halfway through our meal, bought us some red wine and sat with us to endulge in some healthy culture sharing conversations mainly about the past. I HIGHLY recommend a visit and a chat with Μανώλης’s during your visit to Crete!
