The Crete region

Welcome to Rethymno Greece, Crete

The prefecture of Rethymno Greece, one of the four of the Greek Island of Crete, lies between the prefecture of Chania and the one of Heraklion. It is full of magnificent beaches, interesting archaeological sites and Byzantine churches, lovely villages, lively resorts and its capital, the town of Rethymno, is a very attractive city which has kept many example of the sumptuous Venetian architecture.The plethora of charms and beauties astonishes every visitor.

In addition the spectacular White Mountains of Crete overlook the green valleys surrounding the villa.

FESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONS IN RETHYMNON

The Renaissance Festival
This is the culmination of the city's cultural festivals. Having Successfully completed its ninth year, the festival plays host during its three weeks to a variety of theatrical, musical and cinematic events as well as dance and multi-media spectacles.

The Cretan wine festival
Already 35 years old, this celebration in the public park lasts three weeks in the heart of summer and attracts thousands of visitors.

The Rethymnon Carnival
The local carnival, held at the start of Lent every year, has been revived in recent years and it can be regarded as Crete's best carnival.

The feast of Klidonas
An historic celebration every June which maintains an interesting custom of burning the flower wreaths which were made on first of May.

The fishermen's festival Celebratory festival in the Venetian Harbour, with free fish and wine on offer

FLORA AND FAUNA

The climate and geography of Rethymnon, and Crete generally, allow the existence of a large number of species, many of which are endemic to the island. As a result, the visitor may find natural treasures that have existed on the island for centuries and were depicted in Minoan frescoes such as the sea lily ( pancratium maritinum) along the coastal zone, sea turtles "caretta caretta" which lay their eggs on the beaches and may even see the Eleanora's falcon "falcon eleonore" which migrates from Africa in the summer months.

In the valleys, the visitor will come across, the makia bushes and laudanum (citrus incanus creticus), the ebenus cretica and dozens of types of wild flowers. The quick-eyed visitor may also spot hares, skunks, martens, hedgehogs and rats (apodemus sylvaticus creticus), bats and many types of birds.

In the semi-mountainous areas, apart from bushes the visitor may distinguish cyclamen (cyclamen cretium) and many birds of prey. In the mountains amongst other varieties are the Cretan maple (acer sempervirens), the Cretan tulip (tulipa cretica), the yellow violet (erysimum raulini) etc. This is also the most important habitat for birds of prey as well as the Cretan wild goat and the thorn mouse (Amoco?s minus).

In the wetlands of Geropotamos and Preveli, the visitor will encounter interesting fauna and flora, especially the latter, which includes the Cretan Palm tree (phoenix theophrastii).

Lastly, in the gorges, the visitor, if he is lucky, may come across the famous Cretan dittany and other fragrant plants of Crete.

The Rethymno / Kastellos area

This villa offers incredible unimpeded views for at least 30km.over the surrounding fertile countryside and over no less than 21 traditional villages! There are views also towards the sea and beaches of Georgioupolis and to the Lefka Ori (White Mountains) in the west.

The property consists of a detached single storey villa of 116,06 m2 built in a spit level design, with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and ample storage room. Spacious verandas of 80 sq.m surround the house. This lovely villa will have fully fitted kitchen, bathrooms and wardrobes, a heating system, corner fire place, solar panel, double glazing, satellite installation and even connection guaranteed for all utilities (electricity, water & telephone.). The property is fenced all around.
There is easy access via a dirt road to the village road into Kastellos (1.5km), with its old Kafeneions and Taverna and then to the centre of the village of Armeni (5mins), with its various Kafeneions, Tavernas and village shops. Armeni has frequent bus services to Rethymno and various South Coast Villages. The natural surroundings allow for enjoyable, peaceful walks around the countryside, down into the ravine and along to the church of Agia Paraskevi where one can picnic by the spring and use the basic Barbecue facilities provided by the community.

The ancient Venetian Town/ Port of Rethymno lies just above 10 mins away. Rethymno has excellent medical facilities, a multitude of shops, well-stocked supermarkets and colourful Old Town tavernas, offering a wide variety of both ethnic and international cuisine.
Immediately to the east of Rethymno lie long sandy beaches offering excellent bathing, water sports and a large selection of seaside Tavernas. The National Road, with access to Chania (60min) and Iraklio (65min), is a mere 10 minutes away from Kastellos. Souda (Chania), Rethymno and Iraklio all have Ferry Ports offering daily Car/ Passenger Ferry Services to Piraeus [Athens] and an assortment of other Islands.

Chania International Airport can be reached within 60 minutes and Iraklio Airport in 70mins.

The Venetian harbour
From 1300, Rethymno's harbour was constantly being changed and re-built to make it safer and hold more boats. Due to the prevailing currents along the coast, this was never entirely successful. It retains its picturesque character even today.

The Loggia
The most characteristic Renaissance monument of Rethymnon and the most important architectural reminder of the Venetian occupation.

The Rimondi Fountain
Rebuilt in 1626 on the foundation of the earlier one, the new fountain is architecturally and sculptural ornate.

Saint Franciscus Church
The catholic monastery of the Franciscan order. It sports a single sloped wooden roofed basilica with an impressively decorated entrance.

The Neratzies, the Kara Mousa, the Great Door, and the Veli Pasa mosque.
The five surviving mosques are a reminder of the years of the Turkish occupation. Of these, the first is the only one that can be visited, which is used today as a music conservatory.

The Prefecture Building (Nomarchia)
Built after 1869 is a commemorative building in neo-classic design.

The Old Town
Has been preserved in good condition with the public and private monuments of the Venetian, Turkish and later periods.

The sandy beach, and the nearest mini-market, tavernas and small shops can be found in Stavromenos, approximately 2 km away. The village of Perama with a wide variety of tavernas, shops, post office, and a bank, can be found at a distance of 10 km.

Interesting outings can be made to the traditional village of Margarites, the ruins of old Eleftherna, and the famous monastery of Arkadi. Due to the quiet setting, we consider a car to be essential.

We had a fantastic time with so many things to see in Crete, we spent too little time in perfect paradise. However we visited the local taverna ANEKOS in Armeni and would recommend it for quality food and the experience- no menus. Thx for letting us experience this wonderful haven. Would love to come back and would definitely recommend to others "Beswick family"

We all had a fab time. the views and sunset were well worth it up here. The only neigbours we came into contact with were the sheep and goats. The kids loved the pool and the wild life.Getting a fly by from the eagle was a real thrill. Amenities were great, furnishing lovely and homely. Oldhams and Bowler family.
