I cannot recommend this place enough! Manolis and Nopi are the most gracious and generous hosts! Manolis arranged to meet my boyfriend and me at the market in Heraklion because we were coming from the airport, and he was there selling his vegetables. He recommended that we rent a car, which we opted not to, but if you have a desire to spend time outside of Apostoli, I would recommend heeding his advice. Apostoli is a very cute little village. And when I say little, I mean it's got about 300 residents and one taverna. By the way, definitely check out the taverna - they make the best tzatziki I've found in all of Greece!!
The house itself is beautiful and the perfect size for two people. Manolis renovated the house himself, and he did an amazing job. The stone walls are so gorgeous, the bed is very comfortable, and even without air conditioning, it is perfectly cool at night.
The highlight of our trip was the last night when we had dinner with our hosts and the guests staying in the other house. Nopi cooked a fabulous meal from fresh vegetables from their farm!
We had the best time here, and I would absolutely encourage anyone coming to Crete to visit this beautiful place!
