Προσθήκη στο ημερολόγιοA green village by its gorge.
Prasses is a small village south of Rethymno, next to the Prassano gorge.
Prasses lies about 15 km south of Rethymno, at the top of the Prassano gorge. The village is surrounded by green hills and olive groves. It's a quiet place, and the gorge walk to Platanias starts nearby.
The area around Rethymno town mixes a lively Venetian old town with a long sandy coast and quiet villages in the hills. To the east, the beach runs for kilometres past Platanes and Adelianos Kampos, where loggerhead turtles nest in summer. Inland, villages such as Chromonastiri, Myloi, Atsipopoulo and Maroulas have old Venetian houses and tavernas with views. The Arkadi monastery and ancient Eleftherna are less than half an hour away. Try the local snails, staka with eggs and the town's famous pastries.
Rethymno sits between the mountains and two seas, and it is the easiest region to combine with the rest of the island. Its old town and Fortezza are among the best preserved on Crete, with Venetian doorways, Ottoman wooden balconies and a long sandy beach right next to the centre. Περισσότερα για Ρέθυμνο
