Location Overview.
Episkopi is a small town near to the city of Rethimno, overlooking the northern coast of Crete, and the green and fertile valley of Mousselas river. Episkopi is the administrative and commercial centre of the area, providing quite a few facilities such as tavernas, supermarkets, a bakery, an ATM machine, a post office, as well as a fish shop and a butchery.

The homonym beach Episkopi is located really close, just 5 minutes away by car, in a fertile valley with lowlands. It is a long beach, which is sandy and shallow, like most beaches of Northern Crete. It is very well organised, since there are many hotels, restaurants, taverns, bars and all the amenities one could need. In the western part of the beach you can find places with lifeguards, showers, changing rooms, umbrellas, snack bars, water sports, etc., perfect for children. However, given its large size, you can certainly find a quiet spot, especially in the eastern part. Lastly, at the beginning of the beach on the east side there is an opportunity for naturism.

Then you could visit the neighbouring village of Argiroupolis, with its springs and lush vegetation…a taste of Cretan paradise, breathtaking view for your eyes, calming water sounds from waterfalls for your ears and divine taste for your mouth!

Moreover, Lake Kournas is also located in close proximity. A beautiful freshwater lake in the midst of a mountain backdrop, you can sunbathe around the lake, there are sun beds, or if you prefer, go swimming in the lake, hire a pedalo (it takes about an hour to get all around the lake) or enjoy a meal in one of the plenty restaurants around the lake. Also, a tennis court could be found in Kournas area.

Furthermore, Petres beach is located at the eastern end of the vast beachfront of Episkopi It is named after the imposing Petres Gorge that finishes here. All around there are some facilities such as, restaurants, a diving school, etc. In the main cove of Vythos, which lies north of the others, there are umbrellas and it is less sandy. The rocky seabed is ideal for fishing and snorkelling.

Spectacular sunsets
This property had lovely views over the sea and stunning sunsets at night. The outdoor space was good with lots of areas for shade and nice eating areas. We enjoyed the barbecue area and being able to eat outside late into the night. However, we had problems with a green algae in the pool around the walls at water level. The owner tried hard to put this right but it wasn’t until we insisted an independent pool company came in that it started to disappear. Unfortunately, this was at the end of our holiday and by that time all our newly bought swimming costumes had turned green and were ruined. The owner said that the problem with the pool was caused by our suntan lotion and the heat but this did not happen in the second villa we stayed at the following week. The interior of the villa was bright and very comfortable upstairs where the living area/ kitchen were. There were spacious balconies to eat on and view the sunsets with a drink at night. The bedrooms downstairs were nicely decorated but small and the bathrooms were very dark and claustrophobic with no extractors. The villa company and owner were responsive and communicative with the maintenance issues we had but it would have been nice if they had been sorted before we arrived. There was a kettle which leaked, a cupboard off the hinges, a soap dish which spun around, light bulbs which weren’t working and a safe which wasn’t fixed to the wall. They sorted the kettle and the light bulbs on the same day although the other issues weren’t fixed when we left. It did feel a bit tired and just needed a bit more maintenance to make it feel a bit more cared for. The villa is in an area with just a few other villas around and a small supermarket just up the road. You can walk to the beach but the road is busy and fast moving with no pavement and it felt quite dangerous. The beach is large, clean and minutes away by car and there are free sun beds and parking provided by the tavernas. Overall we did have a lovely holiday at this villa and enjoyed our stay. With a bit more attention to detail it could be even better. Please note: The hot tub IS NOT HEATED. Having read, in other reviews that it wasn’t, we went to the trouble of asking before we went and were reassured. 2 weeks before we arrived we were told the policy had changed. We were offered some small compensation when we asked but just be aware it is not warm enough to use at night even in the hot weather we had.

A wonderful week
A house that gave us everything we needed. The house is in a great location for the beaches, it was clean and well equipped, but the garden was where we spent all our time enjoying the stunning view from either the pool, the hot tub or the shaded eating area. Make sure you have a car to get around.

Villa with phantastic view
We were 6 persons, including 2 kids staying in the villa in April 2019. The house is very clean and has a well equipped kitchen, although space of sleeping rooms in basement was somewhat limited. A major street to the heartland runs behind the villa, but hardly any traffic noise in the huge garden facing the seafront. The owner was immediately reachable when we had questions and smaller issues.

Nothing could surpass this!
Everything about this property was perfect for our needs. The amazing view, the refreshing pool, the comfortable sleeping accomodations, the well-appointed kitchen, the fabulous outdoor barbecue and pavilion, the convenient location and of course the wonderful hosts/property owners all contributed to the specialness of this property. Everything we wanted to do and see on Crete was very accessible. The gorgeous Episkopi Beach with delicious tavernas was just down the road. Larger city of Rethymno was close enough to drive for evening restaurant meals. We were central enough to visit Chania and Heraklion areas for day trips. Episkopi village with grocery store, produce store, bakery, fish store and ATM were just close by. We had thought our trip to Crete would be a once in a lifetime trip but we are already talking about visiting this magical island with its kind and friendly people again! We would definitely book Nereid Villa again next time! Our only item of note is the hot tub is NOT heated. Not a problem in summer months with much warmer weather, but it was a bit chilly for us to use in September
