We absolutely loved Vasilis’ place! His aunt Pagona welcomed us like we were part of the family. She treated us to her home cooking and homemade raki. It was amazing! She also told us where to go in town and what local beaches to go to. Her tips were perfect for us!
Everyone we met in our small town was so friendly. Armeni was a great choice for us since we wanted more of a local experience. It’s 15 minutes from Rethymno and 30 minutes from Preveli Beach on the other side of the island. They had a wonderful market and the owner there let us try more raki and drank with us. The taverna and the local restaurants were delicious and so welcoming.
The house was cozy and clean and had an interesting history. Perfect for two couples or a family. If you are looking for a unique place to stay that’s more like visiting family than renting a house, this is the place for you!
