Our time at Maria's can only be described as magical. From the friendly and wonderful treatment that makes you feel right at home, to the stunning location of Maria's restaurant and apartment; this is somewhere you want to go to have an amazing time. It truly is a hidden gem. The apartment is perfect for a small family of 4 or less, or a couple or solo traveler. While Maroulas' roads can be a little scary for some drivers, the view is so worth it. The town is also conveniently located away (but close) to the touristy hustle and bustle of Rethymnon. The star of the show here, aside from the gorgeous view, is Maria's restaurant, which is literally attached to the apartment. It was so convenient to go to dinner right outside. We cannot wait to return to Crete and visit Maria's place again.
