Location
This family villa is ideally situated being only 3km from the sandy beach of Platanes and located midway along the island of Crete which is ideal if you are planning to visit many of the famous historical sites; the Palace of Knossos, the Monastery of Arkadi, the Preveli Palm Beach and the old historical town of Rethymnon. Rethymnon is 10km distant, a 10-15 minute drive by car. This lively, ancient city shows architectural evidence of earlier occupation by the Venetians and the Turks. If you enjoy a walk, make your way to the old Venetian fortress set above the town and enjoy the views to be had from its ancient walls. After a morning spent on one of Rethymnon’s long sandy beach you might like to explore the boutiques to be found in the little alleyways surrounding the ancient harbour. Make your way through the ancient alleyways of the old quarter to the harbour browsing in the many boutiques and shops as you go. Find a taverna overlooking the harbour and enjoy traditional Cretan cuisine over a long, lazy lunch. For that special evening out you might want to dine in one of the many restaurants to be found in Rethymnon.
