We stayed with Manos in the middle of August for two nights. The room was as described and suited us perfectly. Palekastro has a great climate during the night which makes you forget about aircondition, although the room had this feature we did not use it and left the window open instead. There are great beaches along the coastline, all within a short drives distance. For a basic room the price seemed a little on the high side but this might have been due to the peak season or the 23% increase in tax for the hospitality industry.
