First, Stelios is the best host ever, and a wonderful person! The location can not be better, with everything within arms-length. The entire Rethymno is incredibly beautiful, romantic, alive and well cared. Locals are friendly and relaxed, a wide variety of foods and nice local shops. The sea is outside the door, long beach walk so lovely, cool places to eat and have a drink - we would have missed the best ones without Stelios advice. It's really an ideal place to spend your vacation for relaxation, recharging your batteries, having fun and enjoying life. Stelios can give you life-saving tips (and he will!) and help with everything, even with things you wouldn't expect from him. We're glad we've been there.
