If you want to experience real Cretan hospitality with all the warmth and generosity of spirit it implies, this is the place for you. From the moment Manolis offered to pick us up from the airport til he offered his help in so many ways we felt very cared for. His parents live near the apartment and also offer the same. Fresh eggs from their chickens and lemons from their tree were just two examples. They also shared their talents: explaining the shadow theatre and baking fresh bread. We felt like we were dropped into the warm embrace of a Cretan family.
