We had a great experience staying at Dimitrios's farm cottage. The view of the sea and the city of Rethymno from the terrace takes your breath away. The cottage is newly renovated and modern with all the necessary amenities. Our host, Dimitrios, was incredibly helpful and his family were so welcoming gifting us with some freshly laid eggs or a jug of goats milk.
The cottage is located outside of the city in the countryside. We love going off the beaten track and staying in nature and hanging out with farm animals, so for us it was perfect. Highly recommend for those who are like minded and want to experience Crete outside of the city (city was nonetheless 15 minutes away by car).
