Why they chose this property
Villa Angelo is located in the small, traditional village of Kato Poros, surrounded by olive groves, gorges, and scenic walking paths. The area is known for its peaceful atmosphere, untouched landscapes, and rich natural beauty.
A short walk from the villa leads to Nisi, an abandoned Byzantine village with stone ruins, tiny chapels, and panoramic views—a hidden gem for history lovers and photographers alike. The area also connects to the Kollita Gorges, a network of green canyons ideal for hiking, birdwatching, and quiet exploration. These trails are easy to access and perfect for both casual walks and more immersive nature outings.
While the village feels secluded and calm, it’s only a 15-minute drive to Episkopi Beach, one of the area’s most relaxed stretches of golden sand, and 20 minutes from Rethymno, where you’ll find restaurants, shops, and cultural sites. There is no public transport in the village, so a car is highly recommended.
This location is ideal for travelers who want to experience authentic Cretan life, away from the crowds but close enough to the island’s highlights. It’s perfect for families, couples, hikers, and anyone seeking serenity, nature, and a slower rhythm of travel.
