The villa is up to a hill overlooking the Agean Sea . The area is full of olives and mediteranean flora very calme and only 5 min drive from the closest beach in the village of Platanes and 15 min drive from the center of Rethymno city. In the village one can found everything from fresh bred to 2 Supermarkets, a very good boucher, a gas station,family restaurants etc. That make it so atractive and thats the reason we choose to build also our house near the villa . For us and for our guests the location is ideal because you can reach everything even the Highway in 5 to 10 min. drive and from there make many excursions near by or far away very easily...

As you can see in my photo I have one daughter and love to cook and make jams. We also love animals and named the villa "Kivotos " that means "ark". The villa is surounded by olives trees and we provide you with our organic olive oil. During summer time we cultivate our own vegetables (tomatoes,cucumber,pepers etc) with organic methodes and you can taste them all ! We also have a garden with aromatic herbes (oregano,thyme,spermint,sage,rosemary,basil,lavander etc) that you can use during your stay.

Our area is very calm and from there you can travel very easily to many directions. There are many sites of interest near by like Arkadi monastery (15klm), the venetian vilage of Maroulas (2klm), the potery village of Margarites (11klm), the archeological site of Eletherna (10klm)and of course the Minoan Palace of Knossos in Heraklion city(70klm). We also have near by many good family retaurants (like Fantastiko, Zisis etc) where you can taste the Cretan cuisine and I will be very pleased to give you many tips during your stay.
