In the heart of Rethymno, this home is accessed via a flight of stairs from the street below. Stylish and minimal, you'll have natural light from the skylights on the high ceilings, and there are three balconies for enjoying an evening glass of ouzo. The central location does mean there's the potential for some noise, so light sleepers may want to bring earplugs. But you won't need to worry about driving – you'll be close to public transport and within walking distance of Rethymno's coastline, lighthouse, shops, and restaurants.
