Unfortunately my wife and I were unable to use the apartment because we missed the early boat to Crete from Santorini and arrived the following morning. Manos was incredibly helpful (all by email) in hooking us up with a driver Michael and a guide Katerina who were totally delightful. They took us on a marvelous day trip from Heraklion to Rethimnon and on to Chania where we departed for Pireas. Along the way we stopped at the birth place and museum of El Greco (totally unexpected), walked the ancient fortifications of Rethimnon, and had Frape Cappuccinos at the old port in Chania. Thanks Manos you are the best and thank you Michael and Katerina.
