Villa Maroulas - Crete
Location

The privately owned villa, which is a listed building, has a magnificent sea-view, and is situated on a hillside just 6 km from Rethymnon, in the historic village of Maroulas. It is just 3km from some of the best beaches on the North Coast of the island. The village has been classified as a ‘heritage’ site. Most of the buildings date back to at least the Venetian era and no new construction work can be carried out without the cooperation of the archaeological department. It is, however, a living, breathing community, too! The village has two tavernas and two kafeneions. There is a bus connection to Rethymnon, twice a day. For visitors arriving by plane, the village is conveniently situated: Heraklion airport is just 80 km away, and Hania airport is even closer – just 60km.

Finding Maroulas

Leaving Rethymnon, going eastwards: From the village of Platanias, take the road to Arkadi. Follow this road for about 2km.

On the left is the (now closed) Supermarket Perakakis and opposite to the right is a turn to Agia Paraskevi and Maroulas. After about 100m there is a 3-way junction. Take the right turn to Maroulas and follow this road until you reach the central square of the village.
