Manolis is an amazing man and a fantastic host. We had a wonderful week at his place and are missing it already. Among the things that made our stay so special:
The apartment is located in a very small village, yet you have several very good taverns within a stone's throw. Our favourite was Agios Ioannis. It's also a good base for the nearby beaches - Komos beach is great.
Manolis' place is surrounded by a fantastic garden, extremely well taken care of and full of all sorts of plants - wonderful for both kids and adults to explore.
The apartment is very well equipped, especially at this price point: washing machine, large fridge, kitchen, air conditioning, windows have mosquito nets integrated in them (but some annoying mosquitos do get in anyway, so do take a repellant).
As we were travelling with our toddler son, Manolis provided a good large baby cot and a nice high chair too, which was very handy, he also gave us extra towels for the beach, so we didn't have to bring our own.
Little touches from Manolis, like fruit or flowers from the garden make it all extra special :))
On the less positive, his agent Heike was rather hard to reach for 10 days before the trip and on arrival, but once you get past that hurdle - it's all totally worth it!
