Manolis and Nopi made us feel like we were part of their family. They were helping us with everything, invited us for dinner and one day they even took us out with their family for a day trip to the beach. I had wanted to learn some pottery and he ensured he took me to the next village to learn how to make my own pot. I will definitely go back and stay with them in future. My experience in understanding the true Greek way of life was fulfilled in their farm. If you have a car its good but otherwise you can take the bus from Heraklion. The village by itself is small and there are two Taverns, so take some food with you. They have provided almost everything in the kitchen, from ovens to juicers to cook stove. Definitely stay with them if you want a unique and true experience. My husband and I would like to thank them for their generosity and amazingness!! Thank you so much.
