We spent the perfect vacation here! The location of the villa feels remote, but is actually only a short drive away from shops and Rethymno itself. Note that the drive up to the villa is at times steep and partly on gravel - we rented a weak Toyota Yaris and with some initial troubles managed to get up.
Drives to other attraction are far (at least 30min but most often 1h15), which seems to be the case for most of Crete. Luckily the villa and its outside area with hammocks and pool are so inviting and the view so gorgeous that doing a trip everyday is not necessary to get the best out of your stay!
We also made use of some of the services which are offered, like the massage and booked a dive in the Elephant’s Cave - a must do for licensed divers! Both services were even better than expected and Elizabeth was very helpful in arranging them.
Thanks again for everything!
