Manus and Joanna are very friendly and generous hosts. The house has gorgeous views of the ocean and the island of Dia from the balcony which we enjoyed immensely everyday. The house is clean and the kitchen well stocked. We were able to visit the palace of Knosos early in the morning and avoid the tourist crowds due to our close proximity. Heraklion and the airport is a quick drive away and there are many wonderful beaches and lots of shopping close by. Manus also runs a very cool souvenir shop that is worth checking out. Thank you Manus and Joanna!
