House for sale in Rethymnon Episkopi Location Information: Episkopi is a lovely village perfectly situated in a rural setting, 5km away from the sandy beach, 53km away from the city of Chania and its picturesque Old Port, as well as 58km away from Chania International airport. The small hamlet is found at the North-Coast of the island Crete, at the old road Rethymno-Iraklio, and approx 5km off the coast of Stavromenos. The village’s history dates back to about 2.000BC as Minoans used this area for its rich in soil properties, and was also very popular in the Venetian era as it was occupied due to its rich produce which it still gives out today with abundance. Proof of this is seen by the two olive presses that are present there. Nowadays it is a quite place with only a couple of kafenia and 2 taverns, offering excellent country food. Rethymno combines rarely united features: the old town's charm and history, with proximity to a long sandy beach. There are two sides to Rethymno offering two styles of visit: the endless big beach hotel strip that stretches from the east end of Rethymno, lapping up the coastal "villages" of Perivolia, Platanias, Adelianos Kambos, Pigianos Kambos, Sfakaki, Stavromenos and Skaleta - and - the Rethymno that allows you the character of the old town with its mix of architecture and history, cultural influences and styles ranging from Venetian to Ottoman empire. We present the second and more romantic choice - leaving the all-inclusive beach and booze tours to others. it's a place that moves slowly, a very romantic plade and the most important preserves much of its Venetian and Turkish appearance. Explore one of the best preserved medieval cities in Greece, and search for your fairy-tale romance in Rethymno. Venetian fortification works mingle harmonically with orthodox and catholic churches, mosques, majestic mansions of Venetian architecture, arches and cobbled paths which create a magical atmosphere, reminiscence of the city’s turbulent –yet glorious– past. Before leaving the beach, we should mention that there are other visitors - the turtles. Turtles are regular visitors along the beaches of Rethymno and return between June and August to lay their eggs each year.
