Manolis' place is located just at the entrance of Hora Sfakion with a view of the water. It is a beautiful and quiet place with great access to some of the best trails and attractions in Crete. In March, the town was just starting to come to life after the rainy Winter season, and we were fortunate to have the town nearly to ourselves. The apartment had everything we needed and was extremely comfortable. It was clean when we arrived and cleaned during our stay.
Manolis was extremely communicative and helpful at every turn. When we needed some salt and oil to cook the food we brought along, he got it to us in minutes. When the power in the village went out, he gave us honey raki for our patience (even though it was not his fault!) He even waited in the street for us when we couldn't find the place. We could not have asked for a more gracious host.
I would highly recommend staying with Manolis and exploring the wonderful southern shore of Crete!
