Stayed at Eleni's place in Rethynmo for a week with my girlfriend and son (May 2022) for a friend's wedding. Our stay couldn't have gone any better, the house turned out to be perfect for the three of us to live in for a week. The view is amazing...you walk out onto the balcony and can see Fortezza Castle in Old Town to the right and Lefka Ori (White Mountain) to your left.... you have a completely unobstructed view from the balcony. I can't overstate how great the view is from the balcony. Multiple food markets and a supermarket are within a few blocks so we were able to make good use of the fully stocked kitchen. It's so close to Old Town you don't even have to bother with riding the bus there, though there is a bus stop very close at the bottom of the hill and the main bus station is just a few blocks down the road towards Old Town. There are some great restaurants just to the west along the water as well. If you have access to a car during your stay check out the village of Melidoni and the Melidoni Cave... the cave is beautiful and exhilarating and the views of the valley looking toward Psiloritis is amazing and worth the trip up the mountain. The village of Melidoni at the base has a wonderful restaurant in the town square called Carob n Olive where you can sit and relax to a great meal while meeting some of the local villagers who were so nice and inviting. If you want to have a great experience in Rethymno, this house makes for a perfect base to operate out of. - Rhett
