Antonia and Manolis are best hosts I’ve ever met!
Manolis contacted me several times before the trip, answered all the questions, arranged our arrival, explained all the details so I i didn’t feel scare that I could get lost in the foreign country.
Our plane landed early in the morning so we couldn’t check-in because of the previous guest. Antonia met us at the bus stop, took us to the beach, showed everything needed, took our luggage to the apartments. She even brought us beach towels and a light breakfast! It was such a warm welcome, that I was shocked!
During our stay Manolis were in touch, answered promptly and gave great recommendations about places to visit, restaurants to go, food to try.
And Antonia is an amazing woman! So thoughtful, caring, hospitable. She filled the fridge, regularly brought us delicious homemade traditional greek dishes, gave medicine that cured my back, presented us her homemade olive oil that we could take on board, helped with everything and just was sweet with us all the time!
Apartments are great, corresponds to the pics, very clean and tidy. There are everything needed for life, for cooking, there is always hot water, clean linens and towels, wi-fi.
It’s close to the main road with shops, cafes, excursion points and bus stop. According to our experience, it’s 10 minutes walking from the apartments to the nice sandy beach with free loungers, changing rooms and shower, 30 min walking or 10 min by bus to the big supermarket, 15 min by bus to the center of Heraklion.
I felt like at home there, Antonia and Manolis did more than everything to make our vacation amazing! Highly recommend to visit this place if you want to FEEL Crete, not just to VISIT it.
