If you select a holiday at Villa Vaso in the Cretan resort of Rethymnon you certainly have numerous options when it comes to sightseeing if you like to travel around. The island of Crete is huge, so it is almost impossible to travel around the entire island in just one holiday. Crete offers bundles from gorgeous sands to rocky coves and dramatic cliffs and according to greek mythology Crete was also the home of the Minotaur!. Crete is literally bathed in aegean sun and sprinkled with ancient ruins, little villages, places to party and romantic spots such as Elounda and Aghios Nikolaos. The aegean island of Crete was the hub of the Minoan civilisation which dates back over 4600 years. On the outskirts of Iraklion lie the remains of the historic Minoan palace of Knossos. The Minoan palace of Phaestos lies a few miles inland from the town of Matala on the south coast. The boulder strewn Samaria Gorge, located on the western end of Crete, is extremely famous for walking, however be warned that the Samaria Gorge offers a serious trek over rugged terrain. The long, long summer months in Rethymnon also promises plenty of sun whenever you've got a week to spare for a holiday at Villa Vaso.
