Out in the pitoresque village of Apostoli we felt like we were part of Manolis' family and during our short stay there we were able to deeply relax and rest.
The village people in Apostoli and neighboring Kastelli were superbly friendly to us foreigners and provided for great stories and food (at the taverna's and local stores).
We chilled in the jacuzzi, watched stars with other guests through Manolis' telescope, biked to a neighboring town, did a lot of reading in the sun and got to know the host as well as the other guests in a very personal way.
Manolis also gave me and my girlfriend a deep 1-hour massage, during which we got to destress and nearly fall asleep whilst feeling our muscles recover from the experience as well.
Visiting the farm itself was a wonderful experience, which we wished to have been a daily possibility for how much we enjoyed it.
Wonderful people and a great place for relaxation! Very tranquile, quiet and peaceful.
Because we did not have a car, and the bus didnt run on Saturdays, Manolis even dropped us off at the busstation in Heraklion.
