We were looking for someplace extra special to spend Christmas while in Crete and we absolutely found it! We were wowed from the moment we walked in the door. Manolis has taken his family's old stone ruins and made a special retreat. Situated on the top tier of the small village, you need to make sure both you and your car are ready for hills, but the view is amazing. We had a fire each night and cooked in the stone-backed kitchen from the basket of fresh food Manolis brought. We enjoyed an evening with his family (on his Name Day) as well as exploring the area. We have another 1.5 weeks to go in Greece and this place is going to be hard to top.
