Manolis’ house is a great alternative to the typical coastal Crete, a very nice place to live the island countryside. The house is beautiful, clean and has everything you need during the everyday life. We couldn’t meet Manolis because he was also on holidays, but his friend Despina was our host and she did everything in her power to care for us. I would highlight the basket she brought in our first morning with tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, aubergines, cucumbers, red and green peppers, eggs, oranges, one lemon and a big bread. We took some of it on our breakfast and the rest on our dinner and everything was delicious. All in all, the Orión Farm is a very recommendable option if you want to stay in the countryside rather than the beach, but still you would like to be near Heraklion and Knossos.
