The Eveline Apartments are set off the main road with great views over the mountains and surrounding fields. Close enough to walk to the beach and the main resort centre at Platanes, the Eveline Apartments are brilliantly located in one of the most architecturally and historically interesting areas in Greece. Other than the soaring mountains, the surrounding area has beautiful caves, churches and monasteries, ancient sites and Venetian and Turkish monuments to visit. For those that like walking in the hills, this is the perfect spot as Rethymnon is Crete's most mountainous province.

If you select a holiday at Eveline Apartments in the resort of Rethymnon you definitely have plenty of options when it comes to sightseeing if you like to get around. The greek island of Crete is massive, so it is virtually impossible to travel around the whole island in a single holiday. Crete has got the whole gamut from stunning beaches to stoney coves and dramatic cliffs and according to greek mythology Crete was also the home of the Minotaur!. Crete is literally drenched in sunshine and littered with ancient ruins, little villages, perfect places to party and romantic retreats such as Elounda and Aghios Nikolaos. The island of Crete was the focal point of the Minoan civilisation dating back around 4600 years. On the edge of Iraklion you can find the remains of the ancient Minoan palace of Knossos. The Minoan palace of Phaestos lies a few miles inland from the town of Matala on the south coast. The wild and rugged Samaria Gorge, situated at the western end of Crete, is extremely renowned for walking, though please note that the Samaria Gorge offers a serious walk over rugged terrain. The long, long summers in Rethymnon also is likely to offer sunshine whenever you can escape the UK for a holiday at Eveline Apartments.
