Beautiful Villa. Ideal for families. Lovely pool, Our children really enjoyed swimming in it every day. BBQ area, terrace and outdoor dining all fantastic. Excellent power shower, washing machine, dishwasher, hairdryer, iron, air con, Excellent Wi-Fi etc; they really have thought of everything for a pleasant and comfortable stay! The owner provided bathroom and beach towels and even those little essentials such as toilet rolls, dishwasher tablets, washing powder etc; as well as some condiments; salt, pepper, coffee and a welcome basket filled with local produce -all unexpected but a very nice touch. There are lots of supermarkets nearby including Lidl but as the location of Prines is about 10 mins drive outside Rethymno I would recommend hiring a car. A car will also allow you to visit other parts of Crete such as Kournas Lake and surrounding beaches and if you have time, go to Elafonissi. Stunning beach, but go at sunrise and arrive early. It gets very busy. The local Taverna is just a few minutes walk away (bring a small torch - street lighting isn't great) the food is fab, prices are very reasonable and the owner Giannis is hardworking, kind and will share fun stories with you! Try the Kleftico or the moussaka from his menu - delicious! The old town and port in Rethymno is very quaint, full of bars, shops and restaurants. The Fortress is worth a visit before sunset. Crete is absolutely beautiful. We would love to go back! Thank you to Kostas and the owners Eleni & Nikos for good communication and help throughout our stay! This is a little gem of a place!
