We were in Crete for a conference held at a local resort. So glad we stayed at Emmanouil's place instead of the resort! Quiet, spacious, and safe. And, we enjoyed the ~1.7 km walk over & back every day with views of the Aegean Sea. Beautiful views from the living areas in the home. Being jet lagged on arrival, was perfect having room darkening shades in the bedroom. Emmanouil was very responsive about getting a few things fixed (the awning wasn't working and the drain had been dislocated by previous guests). We had a car and were thrilled that there is a remote controlled locked gate to keep it inside and off the road. The Lidl closeby (about 100 m) walk is handy. Highly recommend this place and should our travels take us back to Crete, we would happily stay here again.
