Our stay at Maria and Manos's home was very comfortable. They both warmly welcomed us when we arrived. Manos even encouraged me to use the lemons from their tree to make lemonade (which we did)! The rooms were very clean and gave our family of five plenty of space to spread out. When it came time to walk home from the beach, it took us only a few minutes. We asked them about special restaurants away from the beach. Maria suggested a place inland which turned out to be spectacular for its food as well as for its grand view of Heraklion. At the end of our stay, Maria and Manos stopped by to thank us for the visit which was very nice of them. We will always remember their kindness and beautiful home.
