"An excellent apartment (we were in Unit G with the outside balcony). While we found the inside space to be a bit “tight,” we found the two decks to be beyond spacious. The view is fantastic and the locale is ideal for the waterfront area. The apartment was absolutely immaculate upon arrival. Self check-in was clearly communicated and the hosts were very proactive in outreach. The kitchen was small but adequately provisioned — and everything works perfectly. The pictures actually do not do this place justice….it is better than it looks. Even in such a small space, they had a washing machine. We just wish there was a little more space to hang things/put thing away. We ultimately extended our stay here an extra day given how much we liked both the community and the apartment."

"I felt quite at home at the Hotel Flisvos. The room and balcony were comfortable, and the staff were to a person, friendly and helpful. Its location, also, was very good. I cannot really think of any shortcomings I encountered during my stay there. "

"We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. First afternoon and evening at Golden Bay. Second day visited the beaches. Third day Topalou Monastery and evening in Sitiain Sitiainb"

"What a beautiful retreat! This was such an amazing place with wonderful staff. Everything was gorgeous, the food was delicious, the atmosphere was incredible. Watching the sunset with a glass of wine at dinner was my favorite part of my Greece trip so far. I’m in love with the place and can’t wait to come back. I will recommend it to my family and friends "

"We stayed at Villa Manika at the beginning of July and had a wonderful time. The villa is a short drive to Sitia with shops, a beautiful harbour and lots of cafes and restaurants. We had a hire car but got a taxi a few times in the evening which was 8 Euros each way. The villa was very spacious, clean and well equipped, we also liked that it was laid out on one level. The pool was beautiful, it was a great size and the water temperature was perfect. Upon making our reservation Despina and Pantelis sent us emails with some suggestions on places to visit and restaurant recommendations which was very helpful. One suggestion would be that a welcome pack is provided with some essentials such as milk and bread etc, we had a very long journey so it would of been nice not to have to go to the supermarket immediately upon arrival. The only thing we felt that could be improved upon is an upgrade to the outdoor furniture and unfortunately the large parasol by the pool had a base which was unable to support it when the wind picked up and it kept getting blown over which could be dangerous. We noticed around the harbour area that the restaurants have their parasol bases bolted in the ground which might be a good idea. We very much enjoyed our stay here and it was a great base for exploring the eastern part of Crete. We would definitely stay at Villa Manika again when visiting this beautiful unspoilt part of the island. Thank you Pantelis and Despina for a wonderful stay."

"Super place to stay near the beach with fantastic views of the bay. Rooms very practical and clean, bed very comfortable. Poool and bar pretty great place to relax after day windsurfing. Wish we had stayed longer, very good value, will be back next year."

"Highly recommended "

"The house is lovely - cosy but incredibly well used space and full of character. The views from the terrace are amazing and impossible to capture in a photo - genuinely the best in any place I have stayed anywhere."

"Great staff and awesome breakfast buffet. Location is great. The hotel room is a bit dated, but other than that it was good!"
