This apartment is ideal for a quiet relaxing holiday where you get the true feeling of Crete. Although it is situated on the outskirts of a small Creten village it is only 10 minutes walk to the larger village of Pigi which has grocers, butchers, bakers, tavernas, there is also a regular bus service to the town of Rethymno. A car is not essential for this holiday but if you want to explore the island a car is needed. A taxi can be organised by the owner to collect you from the airport. As a ground floor apartment the property is ideal for any one with mobility problems. The Greek/English speaking owners are near by and willing to help with information and advice. As Rethymno is situated an hour from Hania, Heraklion and the south coast touring around the island is made easy.
The Venetian Old Town of Rethymno is 7km away where you will find numerous shops, restaurants, tavernas, bars and places of historical interest. The famous monastery of Arcardi is a short drive into the mountains.

Owner profile
About the owner
We moved to Crete 20 years ago, to bring up our son and make a good life for ourselves. We love the way of life here, the family values, the outdoor life, the beaches just down the road.
When we were looking for a plot of land to build on, we searched the eastern side of Rethymno for our ideal plot and when we found the plot behind the Byzantine church we both felt we had found our home.
We live on the first floor, above the apartment so you know how much we love this plot, this village, this area and we would like to introduce holiday makers to this beautiful island.
