We were made to feel really welcome by Manolis - he met us in person even though we'd arrived late at night and helped us find the house in the village. He'd stocked up the fridge with home grown goodies and other bits to help make our stay easier, and provided us with fresh eggs and bread each morning.
The house was lovely and comfortable, and remained nice and cool even though it was very hot outside.
The location is a little out of the way - around 30 mins drive from Heraklion - but the scenery and surrounding villages make the journey absolutely worth it! Hiring a car would be essential though.
