Manolis and his wife Nopi were very welcoming and friendly, providing us with plenty of information, advice, lots of organic produce and they invited us to a festival the day after we arrived, where we were delighted to spend time in the company of the family listening to traditional Cretan musicians performing. Our little house which felt a bit dark on first sight, immediately after became for me a charming Cretan residence with a lot of nice decorative touches and little provisions like the jar of Nopi's delicious plum jam. We had some interesting talk with them, especially on our last night over some red wine and snacks, and I feel that apart from being naturally friendly and good hosts Manolis and Nopi are the sort of people who would genuinely like to help create a better world for all.
