Manolis is a wonderful, generous host. His place is a lovely and well-renovated stone cottage. It's located in a quiet village that is well situated to explore the Iraklio wine lands, the Lasithi plateau, and that part of Crete, generally. The cottage is not as close to the farm as I expected from the description, but Manolis more than makes up for this with his hospitality, including fresh bread and his amazing organic vegetables!
