I loved the little apartment we stayed in on the Orgon Farm, Apostoli for 2 nights. Manolis was very busy with planting etc at this season, but took time out to talk to me about the farm and the economic situation in Crete and the village. His wife, Nopi, was most welcoming, making us coffee on arrival, giving us fresh salad veg and driving us to the nearest larger place, (Kastelli,) to shop for provisions, since we did not come with a car. The kitchen was well equipped and a fresh loaf of Cretan bread was left at our door in the mornings for our DIY breakfasts. We spent a peaceful day walking around the village and out into some of the surrounding countryside, during which friendly people asked us if we were staying with Manolis, offered us lifts and one man shared an orange with us. (We must have looked hot in the afternoon sun.) The only Taverna supplied us with a with stream of complimentary snacks, when we spent an evening there drinking local beer. All in all, a very friendly place. If we were to return there for longer, I would want to rent a car, since any walks longer than we did this time would demand a very steep walk back up to Apostoli. The view from the farm house terrace is of beautiful mountains and I would like to drive in that direction to see more. I really enjoyed being in a village off the tourist track.
