Eleni's place is such a gem in Rethymno!! It is so central yet quiet and cosy, it felt like a dream being there. The Fortezza (Fortress) was literally 1-2 minutes walk up the hill, you're in the middle of Old Town with great restaurants and shopping, and the Outdoor Cinema was less than 3 minutes walk from the cottage (a must for the Summer!). The supermarket was very close too and has everything you need.
Eleni also made sure the cottage is very well-equipped - it was a breeze for us to cook, make smoothies and enjoy having lunches/dinners at the outdoor area. The garden is so spacious, the pictures do not do it justice! I loved that the cottage also had beach towels, beach umbrella and beach mats as you must not miss the nearby beach (about ~15 minutes walk for the main public beach) and you can enjoy the outdoor shower when you're back after your swim nearby!
Thank you Eleni, for the wonderful home!
