    Cozy and well equiped villa located in quiet place in small village. There are some taverns and small shop in walking distance, less than 1 km. But of course to explore Crete island you need a car.

Alex
A fully equipped villa made of limestone with beautiful views towards the sea and the surrounding hills. Just outside the village of Prines, in the outskirts of Rethymno, higher from the sea level with great climate. The village of Prines is within walking distance.
Quiet, slightly off the beaten track.
