Exterior of the villa:
Our villa is unique for the serenity and the idyllic evenings that it offers. There is nothing better than to walk early in the morning through the wild garden and the olive grove of villa when the droplets glisten on the foliage and the birds sing with all their power.
In the evening the best thing to do is to relax in the big terrace and admire the sun setting in the sea. During the summer mornings the crystal clean blue Mediterranean waters are glistening and this offers calmness and a tranquil environment in the villa.
The villa has been build with a great respect to the natural environment and this is obvious by the old carob trees with their trunks entangled in arched shapes in distinct areas of the garden! You are welcome to walk across the olive grove that surrounds the villa and see the olives collected or help in their collection in October/November time and admire the really old olive trees some are 300 years old and you can see their big trunks.

Location and activities outside of the villa:
Prines is a traditional, beautiful village of Crete with three nice tavernas and mini markets in its centre, at about 600m away from the villa. The larger town of Atsipopoulo is just 3km away and offers two supermarkets, tavernas, banks and a popular pizza restaurant. The sandy beaches of Gerani and Episkopi are located in short driving distance (5-10 minutes away). Rethymno, the main city is 6km from the villas.
Rethymno on the North coast of Crete, situated at equal distances from Heraklion and Chania, is only a short distance from the most picturesque countryside, making it an ideal center to explore the island.
Crete is the largest island in Greece, between Europe and Africa. Majestic mountains rise in its center- the White Mountains, Psiloritis or Ida and Dikti Mountains- but there are also lots of endless beaches.
Lake of Kournas, Argyroupoli springs, Eleftherna museum and Georgioupolis beaches are very close to the villa and are definitely worthy of visiting!
