Manolis is a fantastic host, very friendly and generous; he gave us sweets, raki and a bottle of fantastic olive oil that we tasted but we had to live in Crete reluctantly. Irene Villa is a fantastic apartment, perfect for a family of three or five, quiet and with a very nice and big balcony where you can eat or relax. There are some good beaches around (Voulisma Beach is a few minutes of walk), but it is better to have a car; we visited Vai (nice!), Spinalonga (so and so) and Chrissi (very nice!), Kserokambos (good), Ierapetra (horrible place), Agios Nicholaos (nice and lively), Heronissos and Malia (both very very very tourist, I don't like). Thank you Manolis for allowing us these experiences.
