Take in the dreamy views over the Mediterranean from this apartment’s terrace. We can imagine relaxing in the Crete sun here. For lunch, dine in the shade of the canopy on dakos drizzled with olive oil and topped with grated fresh tomato and mizithra cheese. Inside this cosy apartment, you can admire more of the sea vistas from the living space and bedrooms. Situated in Tsesmes-Platanias, on the outskirts of vibrant Rethymno town, it’s 2.5 kilometres from a sandy beach and a short distance to many tourist attractions, amenities, and a wide variety of restaurants and cafes. For history or art lovers, the Fortezza Venetian Castle is well worth a visit, along with the Museum of Contemporary Art of Crete.
