The amount needs to be paid in cash or by card upon your arrival at the villa.

The Villa is located in the picturesque village of Prines. From the villa you can walk to the local tavernas in Prines. Additionally in Prines there is a mini market, a butcher and a gas station. The rest of the amenities such as larger supermarkets, bakery, pharmacy etc are in the next village over, called Atsipopoulo. Staying in Prines village will give you the advantage of both countryside life and being less than 10 min away from Rethymno town by car. The village itself is beautiful, flourishing with flora and olive groves. The nearest beach is Koubes beach which is approximately 5 km away at the entrance of Rethymno town. This bustling town with its long sandy beach and its numerous amenities is only a 10 minutes drive (7.5 km). An alternative option is the quieter sandy beach of Episkopi village approximately 10 km away on the road to Chania. Due to the location of the villa, you also have the advantage of easily visiting the South coast where you can find some of Crete’s truly amazing natural beaches such as “Schinaria”, “Damnoni”, “Triopetra”, “Agios Pavlos” and 'Preveli'. The distance to the South coast is about 45 minutes from the villa by car.
