This place is just amazing. The location is great, Evangelos' parents are very friendly and hospitable people and even if you don't speak each other's languages, you can communicate with them.

As some other guests have stated, there is a noise coming from the main road, but that's manageable if you keep the windows on that side closed.

The location is about 9 km out of Rethymnon, yet this is the thing that provides you the solitude you are looking for. There are nice local taverns, a great beach and shops in the walking distance. For the rest of your list of places to go, you'll need a car or another vehicle.

The house is cute, cosy and well managed. They have even left some fresh fruits and vegetables (from their own garden) for us as treats. They were very delicious.
