Katarina and her so, Kinstantinos, are the very gracious owners of this gorgeous property in the heart of Rethymno. All the ancient and amazing sites are within walking distance, as well as wonderful dining and shopping options. The only downside is the parking situation, challenging in Rethymno, to say the least. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely go back."
