Spectacularly beautiful house, with too many authentic details and specifics to mention. Manoulis and his family can’t be more gracious hosts, with all kinds of delicacies and goodies continuously and delicately left for us. The villlage is the supporting cast, with everyone as friendly and supportive as can be.
Crete can be overwhelming, crowded, hot, and touristy-aggressive. The Meronas house is the exact opposite of all of that, allowing for time to wind down, connect with people, and taste the honey, herbs, and cheeses from the mountains. Can’t recommend high enough.
