Manolis's home is in the true heart of Crete, in the mountains where you can hear the jingle of bells from the goats grazing. The home itself is stunning, everything about the experience was incredible.
In the morning, you'll find a basket of farm-picked fruit, vegetables, eggs from the coop, and freshly-baked bread. The olive oil in the house is life-changing, and I highly recommend a breakfast of bread, tomatoes, cucumbers, and eggs, all drenched in olive oil and sea salt.
The sun and fresh air are pure, the views are incredible, and Manolis and his family are warm and gracious hosts. I didn't want to leave. I highly recommend visiting, and I hope I will be back soon.
