About The Experience

Come experience life in Crete with this villa for rent near the quiet, cliff-side village of Roussospiti. With a private pool, landscaped garden, and covered porch, this villa provides plenty of opportunities for unwinding and enjoying the dramatic views after exploring nearby Rethymnon, scouting out ancient ruins, or combing the island’s long, sandy beaches. For large groups, this villa can be rented together with Villa Cronos, which is a few meters away, to accommodate six to ten additional guests.

Location Description

This villa is located up a winding road in a quiet, peaceful location with stunning views of Crete’s coast and the sea. Traditional tavernas and some small markets are a short stroll away, as is the small, cliff-side village of Roussosopiti, which offers a taste of traditional island life nearly untouched by modern tourism. The villa offers convenient access to other parts of the island. An easy ten minute drive away, Rethymnon, the capital city of the province, provides connections to mainland Greece, as well as a unique and picturesque Old Town with narrow streets, Venetian palaces, and Turkish minarets. There are countless other sights to see in town, including a Venetian Fortezza (where an annual renaissance festival is held), the harbor, restaurants, cafes, and a fine sandy beach-- the longest in Crete, stretching for several kilometers! If you’re interested in the history of the island you can step into the Historical and Folk Art Museum for a taste of traditional Cretan ceramics, textiles, artifacts, jewelry, and clothing from across the centuries.
