The villa is located at the area of Stavromenos, which is very well organised, with shops lining the street and mini-markets.
A 50m walk from the villa takes you to Stavromenos beach, which is mostly sandy with some parts that have pebbles and small rocks. In walking distance you can also find a good selection of traditional taverns and shops.
After another 2km, you’ll meet the last part of the vast beachfront of East Rethymnon, Skaleta. The surrounding area has developed in the recent years, being now full with large hotels and touristic amenities.
In a short driving distance, you can also reach Platanias, a well-known tourist resort that is in fact a suburb of Rethymno. Platanias has a great variety of choices, including shops, supermarkets, restaurants and many bars and night-clubs.
The villa's location is great and gives you the opportunity to visit all the well-known beaches and sightseeing spots of Rethymno with your car or bus, taking only 5 to 20 minutes maximum.
