Manolis and his wife are great hosts. The night I got to Crete they invited me to a festival in a village nearby. I was too tired at that time but couldn't say no to a one of a kind Greek experience. They drove me and other guests to the festival and we all had a great time hanging out with the locals, dancing and drinking with them. The place is secluded, which is great because the center can get really busy. Also, the solitude and peacefulness are attainable living here. Driving to Heraklion from the unit is also quite an experience, you will drive through farms of olives and various produces. However it can get quite challenging at night time.m since there are no street lights, but that's for the most part of Crete anyway. Manolis also brought me a bag of tomatoes, 2 eggs and bread for breakfast. There are spices and utensils provided in the kitchen so it was easy to cook. The unit itself is clean, and spacious. Everything that you will need is provided, although I don't think there was a TV in the unit, not that that matters anyway. Overall, a great stay and experience!
