		<title>Villages: Unique historic town</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As much as I love Crete from the people to their whole way of life, I have to say that Rethymnon Town is definitely the winner. I was there two years ago visiting a friend, I stayed for a week only to realize that this is the perfect place to stay. The town is loud, actually vibrant is the right word to say with quiet alleys and picturesque corners. At the center, you will see plenty of Venetia...]]> </description>

		<title>Beaches: Crete my first love</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Crete was my first Greek island I visited. I remember that already at the airport when I just got off the plane, I knew that it landed in a right place. The road from Heraklion to Adelianos Kampos (because that's where our hotel was) was a series of ever new delight. These views, they passed along the way beaches, mountains and of the water-beautiful color :). 

Adelianos Kampos proved to be ...]]> </description>

		<title>Beaches: Beach paradise</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We didn't stay more than a week in Rethymno but I was lucky enough to visit some of the greatest beaches in Crete. One of them is Preveli beach, a unique sandy beach covered with a palm forest that makes it look so exotic. The most interesting thing about the beach is that a river ends there. This forms a small lake before it is shed to the sea. Preveli is a very popular destination because thi...]]> </description>

		<title>Villages: Place with strong tradition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My origin is from Anogia, a great village in Rethymno. I can easily write a thousand things about this place but I'll have to keep it short. Anogia is a traditional, charming village with a powerful and rich history. The route will amaze you as you cross the villages and the winding roads. The air coming from the mountains is so fresh and clean, the ideal environment for all ages. While you ent...]]> </description>

		<title>Beaches: Try some calm days off</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our vacations in Bali Crete were beautiful and relaxing, just what we needed this summer. We didn't want to walk through the forest or climb up fortresses or drive all around Greece to see as much as possible. We needed just some calm days off and Crete is always a place to give us peace. It was our first time in Bali, actually a last-minute choice. Our original plan was Elounda but thought why...]]> </description>

		<title>General: Happy days at Marianthi</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Having visited the suburb of Platanes several times, and stayed in different accomodation each time, we eventually happened upon the Marianthi apartments. They are small modest studios (only 10 rooms) and are of a familiarly basic standard. However, the hosts Nikos and Roussa Markoulakis and their 3 lovely daughters give everyone such a warm welcome, they engender a real family atmosphere. The ...]]> </description>

		<title>General: Encourage traditional style</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our first trip to Crete was based on a recommendation from a friend. After that, we did not need any more recommendations. Having been to Crete more then 10 times, we just love the place. Crete is a fantastic island with all its historical monuments. We have seen most sites but not all. The beaches in Rethymnon are not the best in the world- too much stones/pebbles- but they work for us.

		<title>Villages: Swimming and hiking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The area of Rethymno is more quiet and traditional than Chania or Heraklion. We spent four days in Agia Galini last year, on our tour around Crete. This is a small fishing village actually but it has developed in tourism: a lot of rooms to rent, hotels, organized beaches, gift shops, but still not as crowded as Hersonissos. 

The only difficult thing about Agia Galini is how you go there. It ...]]> </description>

Crete is a fantastic island, where you can find everything you desire for a holiday: relax, amazing landscape, wonderful sea, equiped beach, night life or romantic evening...and the food? gorgeous. Take the lodge in Rethymno is the better choice, because the city is near the most beautful Crete's beaches, is near the main road and the city...is ama...]]> </description>

		<title>Villages: Create nudist beaches</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Plakias is a nice place to relax. If you really want to relax on Crete, go to the southern side. Villages are nicer there and more peaceful. On the northern side (Malia, Hersonissos, Elounda), resorts are busier due to the clubs. 

Plakias, though, is small and cozy with picturesque beaches around it and delicious fish taverns by the beach. Grilled fish is expensive but worth it. I prefer it ...]]> </description>

		<title>Villages: Pay attention or you get lost</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If we hadn't rented a car, it would be very difficult to go to Agia Galini. We rented a car from the airport of Chania and it took us many, many hours to go to Agia Galini, about 4-5 hours (we even got lost on our way and took us even longer!). The good thing is that we passed through nice villages and saw some true Cretan landscape. 

Agia Galini was a nice place with clean beaches around it...]]> </description>

		<title>Beaches: Lazy days under the sun</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We stayed in a small hotel in Panormos to be close to the beach. Last time in Crete we had stayed in a hotel in the Old Town of Chania to be more picturesque, but this year we wanted sandy beaches and lazy days under the sun. Panormos in July was very crowded, but I think it would get more crowded in August, because this is when most people in Greece go on holidays. The bottom of the sea was ro...]]> </description>

		<title>Beaches: Excellent place to stay</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our base this year was Platanias beach. We wanted a beach close to Rethymno to make excursions to the town and the whole prefecture. I believe if you are close to a big town, then you are sure to have more facilities on your holidays, than if you were km far away from it. Also you are more close to high spots. Anyway, Platanias had proven to be an excellent place to stay. The beach was sandy an...]]> </description>

		<title>Villages: Many parking problems</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love Rethymnon town. It is easy to find your way around, lots of shops and historical interests. The down side was having to pay an extortionate amount to park my car in the City. The food in the hotel was not good, I had paid extra per day for either lunch or dinner and it was not nearly worth the money, I would have been better off going elsewhere. Generally I know the City has a lot to off...]]> </description>
