Manos is a great host who took time to familiarize us with the place and location. The apartment (a large room with a second story bed, careful with your head on the top level..) sits right between the street and the ocean. The balcony is hanging over the water. Super cool. The small town is not touristy, a supermarket, bakery, and coffee house are in short walking distance. Two very nice restaurants are 10-12 min by foot. There is a small pebble stone beach right next to the house, perfect for swimming and snorkeling. While the town is not beautiful (typical Greek concrete), it has its charm. The south of Crete has few tourists, and with a car we easily found completely private coves and beaches between the rocky coast close by, and did hiking in the canyons (15 min drive to the closest one).
