Staying in Manos apartments was the best time of our vacation. The apartment includes everything you need and located in the heart of Hersonissos, about 20 meters to the sea. There are lots of different shops, tavernas, bars, clubs just around the corner. It is quiet at night but a little bit noisy in the morning for couple of minutes because of the church next door. Though the nearest good sandy beach is Star beach (the best we had seen in Crete) is about 25-30 min slow walking, or 5 min by bus(bus stop is near), beaches nearby are mostly rocky. The nearest beach is 2 minutes by walk. Manos himself is an amazing, very welcoming and friendly host! He took us from the airport at 01 pm and found a stay for the night of arrival, though we were supposed to get into the apartment only in the next day. In general, It was amazing stay! We highly recommend this apartments. If it's available - took it and don't doubt. Manos, thank you so much for everything!
