We really enjoyed our stay here and felt we got to know the ‘real’ Crete! Manolis was very kind, he took us out for dinner the night we arrived and on our last night we were invited to his house to enjoy beautiful food and wine and look through his telescope which was very cool! It was nice to be away from this touristy areas, you do need a car if you are staying here though. We had a bit of an invasion of ants in the cottage and the WiFi was a bit temperamental but it didn’t bother us too much!
