Manolis is a cozy stone house that stands in the quiet surroundings of the typical Cretan landscape within walking distance of the centre of the picturesque village of Douliana, just 3 kilometres from the blue flags of Kalives and Almirida. Manolis House is not in a mainstream touristic settlement. The vivid hot spots of action (nightlife, beaches and fancy restaurants) are within 10 minutes range by car, but in Douliana you can have this deep relaxed feeling. As If you are isolated, or even lost. Soundtrack to that: Singing Birds. Specially in the mornings. Surrounded by cypress trees, hidden in the typical Cretan landscape, Manolis House gives a quality service, with all the features that will guarantee your pleasant stay.

Crete. As well as the magnificent beaches and warm seas, the size and physical variety of the island of Crete invites exploration, and Manolis House, located at Douliana, Chania, 73008, Greece, is the ideal staring point. Uniquely among Greek islands, Crete’s mountainous spine creates a sense of spaciousness, a life distinct from sea and sand. Fly-drive holidays to Crete – or simply the hire of a car for some days during your stay in Manolis House, – will enable you to seek out the rugged formations of the interior, the fertile countryside and tiny chapels filled with frescoes, the mountain villages where time has stood still. Always, the authentic spirit of the islanders, their fierce independence and pride – as well as the best cooking and most delicious meals that constitute the famed “Cretan Diet” – will more likely be found where few others are looking. With so much to see, with dolphins to watch, shaded squares to paint, olive trees and wild orchids, Minoan remains and sweeping beaches, no wonder Crete holidays and Manolis House are revisited so often.
