We loved staying at Manolis and Popi's - they were such generous hosts, and gifted us home cooked treats several times during our stay. The home cooked dolmades were the best we had in Crete!
The house was large and spacious, and beautifully decorated. The owners run the pharmacy around the corner so it is very easy to contact them for anything needed. They were super helpful and friendly.
The kitchen was fully equipped and there is a grill out the back for bbq.
There is a beach just across the road, but the sea is a little choppy - however, there are other lovely beaches within a few minutes drive.
The area itself is very quiet, but this is not a problem if you want some peace! the lovely quaint town of Myrtos is 10 mins drive, and had a lovely quiet beach and tavernas. The busier town of Ierapetra is 10mins the other way and is bigger with more amenties and shops.
Highly recommended!
