George is a gem. He picked me up from the airport. I didn't have to wait a minute. He was very compassionate. He also gave me a bottle of water as I arrived. We had a brilliant chat along the way to his house. We had a great connection almost immediately. He introduced me to his parents. I think the only people warmer and more genuine in Heraklion are George's parents if not George himself. His mother made me feel like another son always making sure I am okay. His father is a sweet and caring man. Although I could not speak Greek and his parents could not speak English, we nevertheless managed to communicate and connect very well.

George was a blessing. He took me everywhere. He took me to the beaches. He was much older than I was but he was very versatile and ensured that I did the things a person my age would want to do. Very very versatile and malleable person. He tends to your every need. He organised a house warming the first night I was there and I met his friends and immediate family and it was an amazing time. We laughed and I felt like home away from home. I have already missed them and I am very certain I am coming back. Forget the views in Crete for a brief second, people should visit Crete for George and his family.

The room was nice and cosy. There was air conditioner. George being George the kind went out of the again to ensure my room had everything. From my own conditioner to a jar of Nutella. He stocked the fridge with water bottles. The room was exactly how it looked. Beautiful. Warm. Stylish and more importantly clean and comfortable. I am glad I chose this abode.

Thank you George.

Thank you very much.
