Manolis and his family were the best hosts! Staying here and meeting this family was one of my favorite parts of our time in Greece. We were only there for a short time, but we still felt like instant friends. He went out of his way to pick us up from the bus stop near his farm since we did not rent a car, and took us to Heraklion one day so that we could explore the city. He also took us to a taverna with traditional Cretan music, which was one of my favorite memories of our trip to Greece. His farm is in a beautiful area of Crete with a magnificent view! It is a fantastic place to stay if you want to get a real feel for Crete and it's amazing people. At Manolis's farm you will be away from the hustle and bustle of the big city and tourists, but close enough to explore if you wish. It was so much fun getting to know Manolis and his family, and we are grateful to them for making our experience special and unique! We would like to go back and stay for a longer period of time. Highly recommended! Thanks Manolis and Nopi :)
