Antonia & Manolis are great great hosts. Communication with Manolis before comming to the appartment was rapid and effective, he helped us planning our trip in Creta and pointed out places to see. And we have never experienced any welcome warmer than that of Antonia, she treated us like family and was always thinking for our convenience. On the first night when we arrived, she and her husband accompanied us on their scooter to show us the places around (and recommended an excellent taverna, great for families with children thanks to a big play place). The apartment has all that you need (especially for cooking, it was a shame the taverna was so good we ate almost all time time there :D) has a lot of light and helps to cool you in Cretan heat!
Antonia left us some of her homemade jam and dessert, eggs (from her own chickens!), organic fruit & vegetables, all of them delicious (she teaches growing fruits & vegetables at the university). We even had the traditional Cretan bread (with cheese and honey) freshly made by her.
The location is very convenient if you plan to explore Heraklion & near-by places by car. From the apartment, we drove to Mirabello bay & Matala for one-day excursion and that was great to have Amoudara beach just near to relax after a day of visits.
Thanks Antonia & Manolis for a great stay!
