You won’t find better hosts than Anna and Manolis. They were so kind to us and went out of there way to be helpful. They left us some Olive oil in the kitchen and said that they had just pressed the Olives from their farm just two days ago. We asked if we could drive to see the farm and Anna said she could arrange it. She lead us out to the farm where Manolis and his sister were knocking the Olives off the trees and putting them into bags. They let us try for a few minutes then showered us was fruit and cheese and bread. After that we went to the factory to see how the oil is pressed. I know not everyone can be there in October when they press the Olives but what a great experience.
Anna gave us great suggestions on where to eat. Prima Paloma has amazing food for dinner, don’t miss it. Bikakis is a breakfast bakery and bar food restaurant that is also so amazing.
We had a car and were glad we did. There are amazing places to see on Crete. The garage was great to have the car in and safe for the nights. The building is very secure and we always felt safe. The shower is small as we have seen all of them to be in this part of the world. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed. We didn’t have time to use the outside kitchen but it would have been fun. The deck was so spacious and had good furniture on it. There is a nice awing so even when it was raining we could go out on the deck and enjoy the view of the ocean. The beds were comfortable and it was quite at night. The air conditioning was nice to have.
Thank you Anna and Manolis for a great time.
