Strongly recommend Villa Elena. It is a 15 min drive on serpentine roads, through olive plantations, to the village from Retymnon. The house is amazing, better than on the pictures. Really enjoyed overlooking the whole of the Mediterranean sea and watching the sunset, or having a BBQ in the outdoor kitchen. Pool is lovely, nice size and depth.
Very surprised that on arrival fridge was full of food, snacks and drinks. Even a bottle of Raki was there for a local touche.
Don´t miss the local taverna in the village, Mylonas. Basic food at fantastic value, done really well. Again fantastic views over the sea and Retymnon.
