Manolis is the perfect host. He makes you feel welcome and was extremely helpful. He toured us around the area to familiarize us and gave us oodles of information. He created a wonderful time for us. This house is quite lovely, charming and very comfy as it a place to be immersed in this kind and generous village. It is not a tourist trap at all and the people are delightful. We spent a month and left behind our home away from home. Whenever we return to Crete, this will be our first stop.
