After our introduction to Crete in 2008, when we fell in love with this amazing island destination, we decided to continue the love affair this year, extending our range towards the western half, encompassing Rethimnon and Chania. These fascinating and friendly towns are less well-known to the travelling public than Heraklion or Aggis Nikolaos in the east, but are well-worth... More

Rethymno lies roughly in the middle of the Crete. It can work very well as a hub from where tourists can take day trips either in the western direction, to Hania OR to the east, Iraklio, Ayios Nikolaos. Tourists can also stay put and enjoy superior accommodations, excellent meals in the old town, and wonderful beaches.

In May we made a return visit to Footscapes – in fact we’ve been returning every year since Footscapes opened in 2005, which says something about how much we enjoy our holidays there. Footscapes is spectacularly situated atop a small hill near the village of Kastellos. This affords wonderful views both to the sea and to the mountains, as well... More

The island of Crete is a wonderful part of the world. The nature is fantastic and there is much history. I visited Crete in April 2012 together with my wife. There are nice villages and fine monasteries, beautiful gorges and numerous fascinating caves. The island runs west to east 260 kilometers and 60 kilometers wide at its widest point. There... More

Rethymnon – Crete Crete, at over eight and a quarter thousand square kilometres, is the largest and most highly populated of the Greek islands and almost an island nation in its own right. With its rich history, diverse geology and population, living in reasonable sized costal cities all the way through to tiny hamlets and mountain crofts, there is plenty... More

They have got this place just right. Studio, but excellent lay out make it feels larger. Every detail thought about down to a clock on the wall to an excellent shower and the ability to have the door open with a screen to prevent unwanted insect intruders! Recycling also. We loved the freedom of GPS guided walks and will be... More
