WONDERFUL!
We had the most amazing two weeks at Manolis's house.
The house is beautiful and well equipped and it's in a great location - located in a charming, quiet little village and only a short drive to the beach and many key attractions in Crete.
If you're looking for an authentic Cretan experience, this is the place to go. It's a perfect place to rest, relax and enjoy the spectacular mountain views from the terrace.
There is a grocery store and a great taverna/cafe just a few meters from the house, serving delicious and reasonably priced food, including a great breakfast.
Manolis is the most wonderful host. He was extremely kind, helpful and friendly: he welcomed us with local produce (oranges, honey, olives, coffee) and kept bringing us fresh fruit from his garden. He also showed us key attractions on the map. On our departure, he invited us for a coffee in the taverna as a farewell.
Overall, a perfect place and a perfect host!
We had fantastic time and will definitely be back in the future!
