Description Amphitheatre View: Orthes

Charming guests with exposed beams and arched architecture, this stone-built villa is a homely family pad in the heart of Crete. Surrounded by leafy green foliage and fruit trees, the garden gives way to a private pool, but you'll also find ample seating and a stone barbecue and pizza oven on another level of the tiered outdoor area. Somewhat secluded, you can discover Panormos Beach 8km away and Rethymno closer to 30km. More locally, Orthes village has tavernas, cultural sights and hiking trails to explore.
