3 of us stayed at Manoli’s house in Anopolis for 4 nights. Manoli picked us up on his scooter at the motorway turnoff so we would not get lost and guided us up into the mountains. Anopoli is a village high up with spectacular views on the way. The village has a shop for essentials and a beautiful restaurant with amazing local food cooked to perfection and for a moderate price ( we went twice!). it also has a large population of beautiful and shy cats with kittens.
We were shown the best parking space and introduced to our home, all made more welcome by a bowl of fruits, wine, raki and lots of valuable information: where to go, when to go ( very useful for Knossos) and where to park in HERAKLION, good restaurants and where to get food supplies. Manoli covered it all and we found his advise excellent. We had a lovely and relaxing time in the house with it’s balconies and terraces and explored the area between Heraklion and Agios Nikolaos from there.
We highly recommend both house and host!
