*Important notes!
1. Τhe surrounding area has occasional construction noise during working hours. We are sharing this information in advance to ensure full transparency.

2. A car is necessary for your transportation during your stay. There are parts of the road near the villa, about 100m long, that are not paved; they are rough and unsealed. We recommend a high-clearance vehicle (like an SUV-B or crossover).

About the area:

The villa enjoys a picturesque location just on the outskirts of the serene village of Mariou, home to a charming traditional tavern named Mariou Restaurant.

For more dining options, you can visit the next village (2,5 km away), Myrthios, with its selection of traditional tavernas and a mini-market.

The coastal village of Plakias, famous for its expansive sandy beach, lies just 5 kilometres from the villa, while the nearest sandy beach is a short 4-kilometre drive. Plakias Village is the central hub of the area, which offers pretty much everything you may need (supermarkets, fish shops, grocery shops, pastry shops, pharmacies, hairdressing salons, souvenir shops, and more).

The area offers a wealth of natural and cultural attractions, including the Kourtaliotis and Kotsifou gorges, the historic Preveli Monastery, and pristine beaches such as Ammoudi, Schinaria, Damnoni, Souda, Plakias, and the enchanting Preveli beach with its iconic palm forest.

Lastly, within 40 minutes, you can reach Rethymno Town and explore its vibrant Old Town, enjoy peaceful walks across its ~10 km beach road, and visit the farmer's market, which is part of the locals' daily life.

All in all, the villa's ideal location allows you to discover the wonderful countryside and villages, the historic sites, and the lovely Rethymno Town. You will be immersed in vivid colours, smells, flavours, and centuries-old cultural traditions while being surrounded by gorgeous pebble or sandy beaches and enjoying the heartwarming Cretan sun.
