A great many thanks to Manolis and his wonderful mom for a very nice stay at Crete . Everything in Manolis description of his lovely property is accurate but definitely not enough said about garden around every appartment in that house. Dozens of trees in full bloom, shrubbery, flowers, lemon tree! I think Manolis should post more photos of that yard! Check in was easy as can be , he was waiting for us and helped us with our luggage, showed us the best beaches around us and the rest of the island. His mom was making orange juice in the mornings with oranges picked from her own tree.... Anything that we needed Manolis was there to help even with the reservations at very busy restaurants! Great place at great location if you want to be just outside of the crowd. Car is I think a definite must, but Crete is a big island and best way to explore is with a car . I hope to visit Crete and Manolisis property again soon!
