Eleni is a smart and stylish property nestled in the picturesque Arkadi region.

The thoughtfully designed layout, decorated using carefully selected artwork and avant-garde lighting, is distributed across three floors. On the ground floor, the practical and contemporary living space opens out on to the covered exterior terrace, the ideal spot to relax with a cool drink whilst admiring the sea views in the distance or for family meals al fresco. There is also a double bedroom and an independent shower room on this level. Stairs lead up to two further bedrooms, each with their own private balcony and a second independent shower room (separate external sink).

Nearby charming Rethymno (7km) has a blend of rich history and stunning natural beauty. At its heart stands the impressive Fortezza Castle, a 16th-century fortress that offers panoramic views of the town and the sea. This historical site is a testament to Rethymno's Venetian past, with its well-preserved walls and stunning architecture inviting visitors to explore its storied corridors. Other must-see sites in the region include the renowned Arkadi Monastery and the Rethymno Archaeological Museum. For a deeper dive into history, the Museum of Ancient Eleutherna is just 18km away.

A short stroll along down from the Fortezza will lead you to Rethymno Beach, offering guests golden sands and crystal-clear waters. This vibrant beach is lined with cafes and restaurants, making it a perfect spot for an evening promenade walk, a traditional meal or to participate in water sport activities. Platanes Beach (3.7km) is closer still and provides a more laid-back atmosphere. Both beaches are great for sunbathing and swimming and offer a picturesque backdrop against the stunning Cretan landscape.
