NEIGHBORHOOD The village of Agios Ioannis is a historic village of Agios Vasileios region. It is a rural area, very quiet, ideal for family holidays, quiet and surrounded by greenery and the fresh air of Crete. In the village there is a large forest with rich flora and fauna, perfect for walking and exploring the various hike paths. Within walking distance there is the traditional tavern-cafe-mini market of Liomanoli, famous for its amazing traditional food and the mythical Cretan hospitality.
Notable are the many options a visitor has to explore and see various places of great archaeological, historic and religious interest such as the Monastery of Preveli (14 km), the Arkadi monastery (44 km), the Ancient Eleftherna with its unique museum exhibits (47 km), Frangokastelo (29 km) and much more.
One of the main advantages of the house is the easy access to some of the most famous beaches of south Rethymno. More specifically, the Plakias beach (8 km) Amoudi (11 km), Schinaria (14 km), the beach of Preveli (18 km), Agios Pavlos (42 km), Rodakino (16 km), Damnoni (10 km), Korakas (17 km), Triopetra (34 km) and many more.

For a larger and richer market, the visitor can visit in just half an hour the town of Rethymno (25 km).
• The area of Agios Ioannis The village of Agios Ioannis is found just after 'Agkouseliana', and just over 30 kilometers from Rethymnon, at an altitude of 460 meters, before the Kotsifou canyon.
The village of Agios Ioannis (St. John) got his name because according to tradition, a small wooden icon of St. John the Theologian was found at the area.
The magnificent nearby to our villa cypress forest of St. John village, with an area of approximately 200 acres, enchants all visitors with its rich flora and fauna and endemic species and gorgeous hiking routes! In the mountainous villages, there are now many organic vineyards, whose products have recently begun shipping to markets all over Greece and beyond!
Every year, the first fortnight of September, the Saint John festivities are revived in the nearby settlement of Kali Sykia, where the feast of 'raki' (tsikoudia) takes place. If you are in the region during these days don't miss this experience. You can watch the entire traditional centuries-old distillation process!
