Giannis is a very kind host. His hotel (Folia Hotel) has a very nice aspect and construction style. It is ideally situated a few kilometers from Xania (La Canée), in Agia Marina, at a comfortable walking distance from the beach. We stayed 4 nights in Giannis' hotel in october, perhaps the best month to visit Crete since it is the low period but with still many touristic places open. The breakfast is of very good quality, the appartments are well designed and provide ample space for a bed, a small kitchen and a small "family room", and the integrated bathroom is fully equiped with notably a shower curtain (somewhat rare in Greece !)
Ask Giannis to reserve a room with balcony overlooking the sea : top place to have dinner "home-made".
The restaurant was closed during our stay, that was unfortunate because we had read many good critics about it.
The only negative critic that I would make, is of the noise protection the walls poorely offer from the neighbooring rooms, which we discovered during our last night there with the arrival of guests in the room next door.
